JUST A CARD.....



A quick post to share a clean and graphic card that I made during a rainy Sunday evening.  Sure felt good to be back in the crafting zone!

Simple details - PS Hexalongs diecut in SU black, White and Pacific Point - although the color almost looks 'purply blue'. An old Studio G dollar stamp, masked to split the sentiment and "ta da" done!  I followed a sketch for this card - love the left justification of the design as it leaves a whole lot of lovely white space!

We are off to Clear Lake this afternoon to celebrate my sister's birthday...shhh, don't tell her I told you but she is 56 today!  Clear Lake is a beautiful summer resort within the national park that is literally minutes away from Dauphin.  The town of Clear Lake is about 30 miles into the park which makes for a beautiful 45 minute scenic drive complete with moose, deer, elk, wolves, coyotes and various other critters out for an afternoon stroll. I have a few salads to whip up this afternoon, then we're off!

Happy crafting everyone :)
