Hopefully we'll have snow in the mountains this winter to help end the drought. Thanks so much for stopping by.

Thinking of You
I really wanted to make some cards even though it's a busy few weeks for me. It's amazing how productive you can be when you're motivated--LOL! I combined MFT Summer School Lesson #6 (Gallon, Quart, Pint) & Memory Box Challenge #2 (Red, White & Blue) using the MB Pristine Border die. After inlaying the diecut into the red cardstock, I added Stickles Frosted Lace to the dots.
Below the panel I added 2 rows of blue gems from a sheet I got for just $1. The sentiment from MFT Peaceful Wildflowers is stamped in VersaMagic Red Magic. My gallon is red, quart is white & pint is blue. I'm also entering Anything Goes at SSS Monday.
Here's a picture of the marina where our boat should be, but this year it's staying in the garage. There is a low water ramp & temporary docks in one arm of the lake with a bit more water--not enough for us to want to be there. This is what it usually looks like in winter (waiting for snow melt) & should be almost full right now.

Oh my goodness, the poor marina owner. He must be struggling with the impact of the drought as must be all the other businesses affected.

ReplyDeleteSo sad for our earth, when we were at Yosemite, we learn that there isn't any water at the waterfall during summer : (
Fabulous, simple and striking :)
