Monday Montage 146

I just got back from spending the weekend in St George/Cedar City.  This being my birthday month and a BIG birthday to celebrate.  My sweetheart Ralph and I were able to get away to spend the weekend together and catch a couple of Shakespeare plays.  We saw Macbeth and Twelfth Night.  They were both incredibly done.  Some of the characters will will stay with me for quite some time.  I would love to dress up like the three weird sisters for Halloween.  Anyone Game???  I have never been disappointed with the productions and always come away hoping I can go back the following year.

Its the end of August - My mind turns towards fall which happens to by my most favorite season.  I know Summer is not over, but I can't resist the colors and thinking of the cooler days.

Oh and you can't forget Football.  My Utes take on our rival on Thursday.  Excited, nervous, and ready to get our first W of the season.  Go UTES!!!!

The card I made uses my most favorite fall colors (minus Old Olive :) )  I cased the idea from the Stampin Success publication.  While I was in St George I was working on a project for a Relief Society activity (womens organization in my church/Ward).  I forgot one of my cutting plates so I was unable to work on it until I remembered that some amazing demo's live in St George.  I got in contact with one of them and they supplied me with a set up plates to so I could get a bunch of stuff cut.  This card will be sent to her with much gratitude!

Monday Montage 145

One of my favorite things about stamping and being a Stampin UP demonstrator is having friends that live relatively close by that we can chat and share all the goodies that we get.  I love having friends all over the continent to blog hop, chat and share ideas.  

As I sit here and type up my post, I am chatting with my BFF Wendy as we compare cards, cooking triumphs, dog walking notes and plans for the coming week.  So much fun!!!! 

For this blog hop I chose an image that pretty much takes up the whole card.  Wendy inspired me with her 4th of July card with the same set.  I colored the main image with markers giving it the striped/blended look.

We Create Brights Collection Blog Hop

Summer time!!!  It may be hot, but I love this season for the produce in the garden, hiking and campfires, playing in the pool or lake, the light that stays until its time for bed and the all flowers of summer.

 When I was younger I had a gingham girls coloring book.  I colored every page so carefully and I think I even saved the book after I was done.  I am always drawn to anything gingham.  My cousin and I would lay on the floor and she would take one page and I the other and we would color together.  Fun Times.

Here is my card for the Bright collection...Can't go wrong with gingham and daisys. These yellow daisy's just speak summer to me!

Ink - Poppy Parade, Black

Paper - Poppy Parade, Granny Apply Green, Brights DSP, Whisper White
