I’m a little late this morning because I’m on country time! After my fun morning in the city yesterday I took the train out to Rockville Center and Jim picked me up at the station. We stopped back at his house, picked up the bags and headed for Waymart, PA. It took us about 3 1/2 hours to get here but was well worth the ride! This is my current view this morning…
It so peaceful and relaxing here, I can see why Jim likes is so much. We went down by the lake for a bit and just sat there…
Last night we sat by the fire pit and just looked up at the stars, you forget how many there are because out here you can see them all! Today, who knows but I’m sure it will be fun! 😀
Now I have a little bit of craftiness to share with you in the way of my card for the Fab Friday sketch challenge…
I used the June My Monthly Hero Kit again! The card base is Neenah Solar White 110lb Card Stock. I used the Hero Arts Nesting Postage Stamp Dies to cut out a piece of Hello Honey for my background. On top of that is a strip of Mossy Meadow with the ends flagged and then a really thin strip of Black. My images and greeting are from the June My Monthly Hero Kit and are stamped in Black onto a piece of Tangelo Twist and that is adhered to the card with Fun Foam and E-Z Runner Ultra. That’s it! A nice simple card and I love those solid images! I hope that you enjoyed my Design Team card for the Fab Friday Sketch Challenge! Take a minute to visit the Team BLOG and see the rest of the cards and enter yours in the gallery! Thanks for sharing in some of my day! Have a fabulous Friday! 🙂

What a peaceful place to spend the weekend, Justin. I’m so glad you were able to get away for a few days. I really like your very masculine card today. The postage stamp die is perfect for it, along with the solid images really make a great card. Enjoy the rest of your weekend.
It was absolutely beautiful HJ! Thanks! 🙂
As always, love your card, and I have to say I’m enjoying that view of the lake. Bliss!
Thank you Carol! The lake was definitely bliss! 🙂
Love this giraffe card Justin! Enjoy your time in the country.
Thanks Gerri! DIdn’t want to come back from PA! 🙂
Oh Justin – Minus the lake (you have to drive about a quarter of a mile to see that) you are looking at what I see all the time. See, I know you would love Maine! LOL Glad you are taking a break from the city and getting to see why, even though I am in love with Manhattan, I prefer to live here in the peace and quiet and beauty of the stars at night. No street lights to screw up the sky!
I love your card today and the use of solid images in black against the tangelo twist couldn’t be more perfect! The mossy meadow and hello honey backing colors really push the central theme to the forefront. Great card. Have yourself a Super Saturday my friend. XXOO 🙂
Oops – it’s only Friday. Sometimes when one is retired we lose track of days. My bad! LOL
LOL! It’s all good Grace! 🙂
I figured as much Grace! It was so beautiful! I see why Jim likes to be up there! I definitely would love Maine! I can definitely see why, I could get use to that!
Thank you! Hope you enjoyed your weekend! Love and hugs! XOXO 🙂
