Happy Birthday Mom



 Hi Blog Friends, Summer is progressing nicely, let's hope it doesn't go too fast! Blueberries remind me of summer, any berries, really. But my Mom likes the color blue so I thought I'd use one of my new Flourishes sets.
This weeks Timeless Tuesday Challenge 175 from Flourishes asks us to use Favorites. Favorite stamps, dies, embellishments.
My favorite dies are any thing oval! I just love oval shapes so I used basic Spellbinder Nestabilities Ovals and Scalloped Ovals. My favorite stamp set is Tag Lines which is Flourishes small sentiment set. I use it all the time. The blueberry stamp is from Flourishes too. My favorite embellishment is, gosh, I love them all but I guess I'll say ribbon, in this case, seam binding. (But machine stitching is a close 2nd).

 I used the Papertake Weekly Challenge, this week a sketch. I didn't use a square so I changed it a little but tried to keep the other elements. I'm also playing in the Kraft Journal-Anything Goes Challenge.
I hope I can get some cards made for next week. I'll be going to Block Island, R.I. for a few days on our boat for the 4th but will bring some crafting with me. Have a great week!
