~July 2012 Blog Hop~







Here is my CAS creation~





based on these inspirational photo colors:






I pulled out my BoBunny Country Garden pack for this one~all that color is packed into that lil' apple!




I added sewing for Less Is More:Week 77 ~Sewing


The gorgeous frame is from Joan's generous prize pack that included Little Yellow Bicycle's Clear Cuts Shapes~LOVE!!!


One quote I've heard this week at archery camp that convicted me


...."BE TEACHABLE"...


Yes, you are NEVER too old to learn new things.


I signed up with my girls and I'm learning a ton of lil' details about holding a bow; aiming at the target; etc.


Just when I think I know what I'm doing...there's another step!

It's just like life, I guess. ;)




I kept most of the card white with just a pop of color for 






The stitches I chose for my card mimic the subtle ruffles in the cake...the frame has gentle dots circling around...





Thanks for stopping in today~I appreciate the company! ;)
