This
was a busy day! My friend who does day care had a doctor’s appointment this
morning so I filled in for her. I’ve done this many times since her husband
died and she is alone without back-up. The parents are fine with me being
there. After lunch I decided to make cabbage soup…..lots and lots of chopping
and stirring. Joe always makes the comment that the pot I use must have come
from an army’s kitchen because it is so big. I’ve had it for so many years I
have no idea where I got it from – it’s old but serviceable so I’m keeping it.
While I was waiting for the soup to cook I made some of the BBQ food for
tomorrow too.
Today’s
card is one that is made up of left-over’s and yet I don’t think it looks that
way at all.
The
green was run through an embossing folder and then a white ink pad was lightly
rubbed over the top. The white border is actually two die cuts from a Memory
Box die and glued side by side. The flowers are another Memory Box die and they
were die cut twice; once in green and once in yellow. The edges of the yellow
ones were sponged with Distress Ink Spiced Marmalade; cut from the stems and
glued on top of the green leaves and stems. Because the flowers were yellow I
searched for a piece of yellow paper in the stash and glued it to the green and
then added a gold peel-off line down the seam. The sentiment is also a gold
peel-off. I rather like how this one turned out.
That’s
all for a lovely Friday, 2016-09-02. Have a wonderful weekend everyone. This is
the last weekend of the summer- boo hoo – so I hope you enjoy every minute of
it.
Cheers
