Good Day Sunshine!

Good Day, Sunshine!  We need some sun, and some wind, here in my small town.  As I write this post, my house is in danger of being flooded.  I live across from a lake.  The water keeps rising from a very rainy spring.  Today's 2 inches  was more than the lake could hold and it has spilled it's banks.  Two homes have water running through them like a river today, heading straight for our driveway.  Fortunately, a culvert lies in between, and a drain is keeping up so far.  Oh, how we are praying for some dry weather!
And, speaking of sunshine, I have a sunny card to share with you today that's also on the 3 Girl JAM blog. And, it fits our "Summer Fun with Ribbon" theme on the 3 Girl JAM Challenge blog.
The image and sentiment are from Unity Stamp Company. It's an Itty Bitty Stamp, co-branded with Authentique, called, appropriately, "Good Day Sunshine".  I've been challenging myself to use more striped papers, and I pushed myself to do it again on this card, using papers from the Carta Bella Traditions 12x12 Collection.  The ribbon? 3 Girl JAM, of course!  It's the elegant Navy crinkle ribbon from the Navy Bundle. And that cute button on top of the double bow is a Vintage Button, found in the 3 Girl JAM store
The card base, ink, and waxy flax laced in the button are all from Close To My Heart.

  7. Oh no, Julie! I sure hope and pray that your house is spared from flooding! We have had a lot of rain too and I have been praying that our sump pump doesn't quit on us. I have a bunch of craft supplies and pictures down in the basement. Your card is so cute!

  10. Julie I hope you are able to stay dry. I know another storm is suppose to come through tonight. So prayers to you and your neighbors. I love the card. The colors are so pretty. I think you are a little evil though for getting me hooked on 3girl Jam ribbon. Ok you are not evil but maybe just a bad influence in the buying department.
