I don't know about you, but I am tired this morning! Long days on the beach and a night of karaoke will do that one (at least it will to this one). You will be proud to know that I did manage to squeeze in my two go-to songs (Love Shack & Tik Tok) before our group was "invited to leave" the bar. You'll be doubly proud (and possibly surprised) to learn that my behavior had nothing to do with that request. It's a long, ridiculous story, but suffice it to say, I don't think we'll be going back there this evening... Still, what's a vacation without creating a few such memories? They make for awesome anecdotes, don't you think?
Anyway. Enough chit chat. Let's get down to bidness: it's Day 2 of Taylored Expressions June Release Sneak Peeks, and I have a couple more projects to share with you.
The first one features the newest Graphic Greetings image, Get Well:
Graphic Greetings images are so perfect when you want a to quickly stamp a card that says it all.
Next up, I've got a trio of congratulatory cards that came together by accident. First, let me show you the cards...
And here's a single:
The black center and single ray are meant to represent an exclamation point - get it? Actually, I had intended to make a sunshiney card, but as I was gluing the rays down, I got to the last one and realized that according to my pattern, I'd have to put two yellow rays side-by-side, which just wouldn't do. My husband walked by and I told him my dilemma. He took a look and said, "I think it looks cool with the black ray and center - kind of like an exclamation point." I thought that was pretty clever, don't you? Thank you, Dear Heart!
More sneak peeks of this awesome release can be found on these lovely ladies blogs:
I'll be back for Release Day tomorrow! Thanks for stopping by to visit me today. :)
