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.

ReplyDeleteWhat perfect timing for this summertime fun card. All of the schools will be out next week, around here. How can we possibly be half way to July? Nice work, Jlie!
ReplyDeleteLovely card and good luck with the weather!
ReplyDeleteOh 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!

ReplyDeletelove this stamp - you used lovely colours :)
ReplyDeleteJulie 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.
ReplyDeleteHi Julie! I hope everything is okay, and that you are staying dry! Your card is lovely. The colours are beautiful and that image is sweet!
ReplyDeleteAwe, such a CUTE image. Your design is precious. :)
ReplyDeleteLove this card, Julie! Super cute!
ReplyDeleteHope the rain stops. We had 2.5" but they had 6" in Worthington!
