Tropical Punch & Piranhas

Hi Friends! Just a quick post. I'm having a garage sale tomorrow...I haven't had one in 7 years, so I have totes and totes of kid clothes. Every little outfit makes me go "awwww." But I'm dreading the actual sale...all the pushing and grabbing--last time I had a garage sale, it was like a piranha tank. Wish me luck!

I'm entering a card into the Hero Arts July contest. I've never posted a HA card but thought it would be fun to enter a card into the Summertime theme:

The flower stamp is Hero Arts' Luscious Bold Flowers stamped in blue. I opted to use the Basic Grey Lauderdale tag for the sentiment instead of something more summery...I thought it worked well. The papers are Basic Grey Lauderdale and American Crafts Margarita. It's not traditional summer, but the colors look very tropical to me.

Okay, got to boogie....lots to do today. Have a great day!

  10. What a fabulous combo! You should enter more often!

    Good luck with the sale. I hate them, so I end up just donating everything! I have not had one in 7 years and I said no way was I doing that again....Big Brothers and Big Sisters and AM Vets get my stuff.

  11. Ooh, a garage sale -- good luck with that one! ;)
    I love that Lauderdale paper -- it was so bright I shied away from it at first, but it's really quite beautiful -- as is your card!

  12. Love this card! The colours totally scream summer to me.
    Good luck with the yard sale. I had one just before we moved cross-country in 2002, and I think that's pretty much going to be the only way I ever have another one. Piranha tank is a kind way of putting it :)
