Treasures found....

Hi all and happy Wednesday! I can't believe how fast this week is going! I'm looking forward to a long weekend... so, I guess the fact that it's going fast isn't all that bad! :-) We have no idea what we have planned as a family but I am thinking a good hike is in order to kick off the official start to summer!


I've been on a cleaning kick lately and recently went through some goodies (stamps) that needed some love and attention. One of those stamps was from THIS set from Impression Obsession. I just think it's charming!


So, I picked the watering can stamp and went to town with a really sweet and simple layout...


I colored up the watering can with my Copic Markers and used C1,c3,c5, C7, R49, R14, Y21,Y23, YG63,G40, RV00, RV02,Y17,Y19,E25, and E37. After coloring, it's just cutting an oval with the help of an oval Nestie, and matting it up with some fun decorative paper. I used some Webster's Pages (green and red) and some fun brown check that I've had forever. Add some fun twine and a button and... done! This card doesn't have a "home" yet but I figure when the time is right, a fun sentiment on the inside will just do the trick!

I hope life in your neck of the woods is grand! I'll be back Friday with a Flourishes Focus that has it's sights set on summer fun.... so stay tuned! :-)

Have a great rest of the week!

I need to do some "house keeping" with my stamps too ... love what you've come up with here! So appropriate for this time of the year! Hope you & your family have a wonderful, fun-filled holiday weekend!
Granddaughter Morgan graduates from high school on Sunday so it will be an exciting weekend for us! Hugs to you my friend!
