The bad news is I've only been in my craft room twice since last Thursday -- once to lay down towels to mop up some minor flooding and once to get the wet towels back out after the storm passed. But even though I have no new projects to share, the good news is that I remembered a handful of projects I made a while back for
The Cat's Pajamas but for some reason never posted here. The card I'm sharing today is my favorite from the late April release. The butler silhouette images in the
Commemorating You stamp set just begged for a vintage look. The stamp die-cuts were done with TCP's
Stamp Trio CutUps die. The kraft envelope is by Maya Road, the seam binding and glittered stars are from the MemrieMare etsy shop, and the background paper is by Prima. This is one of those cards that came together in a jiffy. I feel like I just tossed some random things together in a pile and stuck the pile on a card base!
Speaking of The Cat's Pajamas, the new
TCP Tuesday Challenge (#217) is up, and it's a fun one! I'll pop in later this week with my challenge creation. Check it out and play along!
Before I go, just wanted to say I'm sorry I've been so out of touch so far this summer. Like pretty much everyone else, I'm just trying to balance crafty time with having the kids out of school. Right now, the crafty time is getting the short end of the stick. Hope you're having a great summer so far!
Thanks for visiting,

Wonderful card!!! I like everythings.....colors, design....
Oh, I love when a great card comes together from bits and bobs strewn about on my craft table. Lovely card, Amy!
Such a beautiful card. I, too, am balancing crafty time with kids being home. Odd that a few weeks ago, we had a storm blow through and the windows were slightly open and we ended up with some flooding in my study, too. I was using big bath towels to try and wipe it up and keep my papers from being ruined. Thankfully, most everything near the window was in plastic bins, and didn't get damaged. Phew!
Great card. Love the big twine loops on the seam binding ribbon. Hear you re: summer and kids home, but before we know it they will be gone so err on the side of spending time with them and creating memories. That's my logic anyway :) If you need a laugh, just think of me for two weeks in the pool starting to reek like chlorine LOL!
the colors are stunning!!!! absolutely beautiful!
I am so sorry to hear about your flooding! this weather has been unbelievable!
The colors are Amazing..Absolutely Beautiful..

I love the way your cards come together Amy. This is another beauty and don't worry about not blogging. We understand and kids should come first, always.
Sorry about the flooding in your crafty space, everything is upside down {weather wise} this year. :(
Happy 4th of July!
SOOOO pretty, Amy! I love that starfish!
