Getting my July SFYTT done early so I don't have to think about it, or even worse, accidentally forget about doing it since it's summer time and we are out and about so much I don't have a consistent stamping time.
I combined the sketch with this week's ColourQ challenge and entered it into this week's Paper and Such Designs challenge. Since MFT is this month's focus for the sketch, I pulled out their daisy die to make the flower. Verve's fabulous Kind Words set provided the sentiment and I added an extra layer of white card stock with a punched border for a little more "oomph" and popped it up for some extra dimension. Off for another day of swimming lessons for the kids and laps in the pool for me. It's been a great way to jump start my fit and firm at fifty work outs again. My fasciitis is finally gone (darn thing took six months to heal!) so I'm raring and ready to work out with a vengeance again and the fabulous weather we've been having definitely puts you in a good mood to do so :)
Thanks for popping in today!
