SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT: We have a new Friends of Unity member. Give it up for Gaylynn Martling! I love her art. It is always so inspiring. She is an amazing addition to our team. Welcome Gaylynn...so wonderful to have you join us!
Yikes! It's August already...how is this possible? Time for back to school and back to work for my fellow colleagues in education. It is also time to start thinking about the upcoming holidays. They will be here before we know it. Check out our fantastic graphic:
It's hard for me to think about the upcoming holidays right now. I'm stilll in a summer state of mind, but here we go:
Ok, I realize that the above card is not what you generally envision when the theme is holidays. But for me, taking a mental health day or self-care day is a holiday. Check it, on a couch day you don't have any commitments, deadlines, places to be, things to do or people to see. You are straight up...just chillin'. So technically, a couch day does fall under the category of holiday. It's a free day to do as you please. Plus, I have been dying to use these two stamps together ever since this kit came out in April 2022. The sentiment and couch scene are both from the April 2022 Kit of the Month, true colors. I can't wait to play with more stamps from this kit, i.e., paint brush and owl.

I love the layers and the combination of dies! {Would love to know which ones you used :)} Such a perfect card and I agree it's a couch day is totally a holiday!! Your Veteran's Day card is wonderful... you are the queen of layers! I love your design on this card! Wonderful inspiration!

Thanks Carla!
DeleteLOL I love your 'couch day' card! The overall look is really lovely with the flowers & plants. And I love how you used a floral pattern in the 'Veteran's Day' card. This would be perfect for a woman who has served (my good friends' Mom was a marine!). And I love all the layers.
ReplyDeleteThank you very much Becca! Yes, we can not forget our female soldiers.
DeleteI like your kind of "holiday" day the best ( gonna book a trip to my couch this afternoon) tee hee. Our church picnic is this month and the theme is "Thankful for the Red, White, and Blue, and YOU" I'm going to steal your lovely heart to decorate my 50 50 booth. Do not have Celeste, but this Michigan kid loves to live in the Sunshine the few months we get it.
ReplyDeleteThank you so very much Carol! I would love to see a picture of your booth.
