My grandparents just moved into an Assisted Living Community this weekend, so I wanted to make them a card for their "new digs." Here's the card I made for them:
Using this sketch from this weeks Paper Smooches Sparks challenge:
I used Paper Smooches Vogue Abode, and a new die from Memory Box that I got for my birthday (thanks, Mom!). The shape is hand cut to resemble the swoosh in the sketch.
I heat embossed the sentiment (which I NEVER do! but it sure does stand out nicely). The button is from PTI and the pearls from Recollections. The cardstock is PTI.
Well, I hope you all had a wonderful weekend. I had a busy one! We went blueberry picking on Saturday and picked up some peaches, too. So when I got home I made spiced blueberry jam, peach salsa, and mini blueberry pies in my new mini pie maker that I got for the most amazing deal... $3!!!! Then today I went to a thirty-one party, and visited with some friends from Phillip's time in the Marine Corps, who dropped by on their way through MA. It was a nice weekend.
Great card. Very mod. I like the coloring and the modern feel. Also, that die looks really neat. I am getting addicted to memory box dies.
ReplyDeleteJessica, so adorable and so sweet of you to make this for your grandparents. I love that die, such a wonderful addition to your very modern card.
ReplyDeleteJessica this is so so cute. Your grandparents are going to love this.
