I'm starting to get that "summer is almost over it's mid-August and I have to go back to work" feeling. ARGH!!
Summers are so important to teachers. We need that time to recharge our batteries after giving 200% of ourselves during the year. This coming year is nothing but uncertainty and looks like it's going to be one heck of a roller coaster ride...
I'm trying to put off those thoughts. All of them. Darn it all! I don't "return" until the 25th, so I still have time! Forget about that deep cleaning that still needs to happen! There's always time for that! :oP Let me get in the offudio and create!
Liss and I have a new Saturday and Sunday morning routine. Saturday we check to see The Paper Players' design team picks for the week and then Sunday we check out the newest challenge.
I know I said earlier I usually have an easy time with colors. Well, this time, I struggled a bit. Then I looked at my desk and saw a brand new stamp set staring at me, and I knew. :o)
This is proving to be a versatile and lovely little set and I'm off to play some more. :o)
As for work...well...it can wait. ;o)
******************************************
Stamp Sets: Branch Out (butterflies--oh how I love those little butterflies!), Field of flowers
Paper: Whisper White (heavy and regular), Night of Navy
Ink: Night of Navy, Melon Mambo, Mango Melody, Pool Party
Miscellaneous: brayer
How to:
I used the brayer to lightly put in the Pool Party for the background. Because I didn't want it super dark, I rolled it off on a scrap piece of paper and then rolled it on my paper.
