Happy Summer, Riley!


Well, it's officially summer now and yesterday was nice and warm here. I think the rest of the week is going to be the same, maybe even a little hotter....and then we'll be complaining about the heat! Haha!!

This is a card that I made a couple of weeks ago using a sketch over at Card Positioning Systems. Yes, I'm a little behind in posting it. What's yer point? It's a tall card made with Very Vanilla cardstock and I used some patterned papers that I got from The Town Scrapper (who also carried the Riley stamps). I stamped him on Wausau bright white cardstock and coloured him in with my Copics, rounded the corners, distressed the edges and matted it on Brocade Blue. I stamped the CCDesigns sentiment on So Saffron and pop dotted everything. Then I finished it off by attaching a bunch of different sized buttons across the middle in a wonky line. Adds texture and colour!



I'm off to do some running around this morning and then workin' this afternoon. It's a short day for me, so not too bad. Have a super sunny day!!
