addicted to stamps challenge 176

a clean & simple summer card

farmer’s market inspired:
One of my stamping goals this summer is to incorporate the unused supplies that have been sitting on my table for quite awhile - I liked the pattern and shades of green of this preprinted background from papertrey ink to highlight my colorful veggies (the “enjoy” frame was something I cut months ago and was happy to be able to use it also).
I clipped this card to a stack of bon appetit magazines I was gifting to a friend . . .





stamps:  papertrey ink
papers:  papertrey ink

embellishments:  clip - making memories; twine - pebbles in my pocket

Summer's Bounty

I'm on my way to our little farmer's market this morning . . . how I love this time of year!  I'll be cooking stuffed peppers and baking blueberry scones this weekend - and our favorite peaches are FINALLY in season :)

summer citrus

We had a wonderful visit with our kids in Utah for a week, finally got everything unpacked, all the laundry done, shopped at two local farmer's markets + the berry patch, worked all week, attended a wedding yesterday afternoon, and now I'm FINALLY ready/able to get back to some stamping!  (plus it's TOO hot to do anything else :)

a scrap of summer

We just got back from Santa Barbara, where every day feels like summer - it was so relaxing and beautiful - it would be a fabulous place to retire (if it wasn't in California).

Farewell to Summer

. . . guess fall really is here - at least it's beginning to feel that way.  I was thrilled to still be able to get a box of berries at our local patch this morning - waffles with berries 'n ceam will soon be replaced by oatmeal with apples, walnuts 'n spice . . . sure will miss California's bounty when we move.
