I think I’m melting…. The heat wave continues with the temperature
around 34C (94F) but feels like 41C (105F).
We had to run a few errands today and wanted to go
visit Joe’s sister so we braved it and ventured out….. and it was so hot it was
unbearable. The heat on the weekend was so hot it buckled one of the highways!
Now that’s hot! One more day of this and then the temperatures will be back to
normal – thank goodness. I love summer and the heat, but not this humidity.
Tomorrow is my oldest grandson’s
birthday. Joven will be 19. He’s in university studying criminology with the
hopes of joining either the Police or the RCMP – which scares the daylights out
of me but we must support their choices. Here’s the card I made for him.
I
wanted to make him a grunge card! He is after all a young man so heaven forbid
they get a card with gems, bows or glitz on it. I used stamps from Stampin’ Up
and their ink, Night of Navy and Crumb Cake. I wanted it to look like paintball
splatters. I really didn’t like it so I showed it to Joe and asked his opinion –
he thought it was great!....Yup, the man’s opinion is so different than woman’s!
I hand cut the banner, sponged it with Crumb Cake and glued it on a piece of
left over blue cardstock. The button is a paper one that I die cut and sponged
Stampin’ Up Early Espresso on and tied on some jute string and attached it with
a strong glue dot. It was then mounted on a Kraft card base.
I’m still not crazy about it but
hopefully Joven will like it.
That’s all for a very, very hot and
humid Wednesday, July 4, 2018. Happy 4th of July to all my readers
from the U.S.A.
Cheers
Violet
