Monday Montage 144

Summer is flying by.  I long for the summers when I complained about how hard my life was, but somehow finished chores by the time the river was warm enough to swim in.  We walked or drove our little Trail 90 down to our swimming hole.  It was right in one of the many bends of the Middle Fork of the Payette River and we would spend the rest of our afternoons swimming with the fish and soaking up the sun on the sand bar until it was time to come home and help Mom get dinner.  Adulting just doesn't seem quite as fun -

So... Another exciting thing is that College football is starting up in about a month..  My Utes first game is against our long time rival BYU.  Cant wait to see how this one turns out.  I love going to the football games and cheering on my team!

Here is the card I made for the Monday Montage Hop.  Images like this are one the main reasons I invest in Stampin Up markers.  They match the ink pads and paper and allow you to add multiple colors to one image precisely.

Stamps - A Little Lace, Vibrant Vases (Sentiment)

Ink - Pretty Peacock, Stampin Write Markers (Pretty Peacock, Roccoco Rose, Mango Melody, Old Olive, Seaside Spray)

Paper - Pretty Peacock, Whisper White

We Create Red, White and Blue Blog Hop

Oh my goodness,  It is July!  I love celebrating the 4th with family and friends.  I love the get togethers the parades, the fireworks and the chance to really remember that I am so blessed in this country with the many freedoms we have.  I always find myself getting emotional as the National Anthem plays.  I know many sacrifices were made to ensure that we have the freedoms we do!

My inspiration for this card was a pic I saw while perusing facebook.

I knew I wanted to try and recreate this with some of the great new stamp sets we have.  Doesn't swinging make you feel free?  I love flying through the air on a swing.  It never gets old.  Sometimes I have to give way to the little people instead of hogging them for myself.

Stamps - Waterfront, Silhouette Scenes

Paper - Thick Whisper White, Basic Black

Ink - Blueberry Bushel, Real Red, So Saffron

Accessories Sweet Silhouette Dies, watercolor brush
