Happy Monday everyone, and Happy Independence day to everyone in the USA!
Today it's time for the Squigglefly challenge, and the day for my very first design team card to be posted. I'm excited to be able to be a part of this... You can find the challenge for Squigglefly here
You too can join in the fun and post Your "Fun in the summertime themed card" My card is called A Walk in the Park, and it is a digi by Artist Lynn Stansbery. You can find the digi that I used here
There are also some "freebies" that you can use from Squigglefly, you can find the Squigglefly home page here
The digi that I used " A Walk In the Park" was colored w/copics by my husband. I added a fence which was cut with a Sizzix Sizzlit, and a rose sticker (Jolee sticker)
I selected this digi because it reminded me of the time I first met my husband's family. I was invited for dinner at my husband's house on a beautiful summer evening. I was meeting everyone for the first time, his parents, and his siblings, and I was very nervous. After dinner, my "New" boyfriend (Now hubby) asked me if I wanted to take a short walk. I was overjoyed to be able to get away for a few minutes, my nerves were getting the best of me, and the walk helped to calm me down.
It started out as a pleasant walk, beautiful summer night, soft breeze blowing, and we were walking under some lovely shade trees. As we got nearer to all the trees I could hear all these birds in the trees above us. My first thought was..."I hope none of these birds decide to drop something unwanted out of tree and land on top of us." I no sooner had that thought when I saw something drop down on the right front of my brand new lovely YELLOW dress. A dress I was wearing for the very first time. I looked at the "unwanted substance" and was trying to figure out how I could somehow discreetly remove the "glob" without being noticed at all. I tried to retrieve a Kleenex out of my pocket (or purse) and get rid of the unwanted "yuk" Thinking I had successfully completed my secret mission, I was then trying to figure out what to do with the now unwanted Kleenex I had used, when I heard this voice to the left of me say..."They Got Ya?" Needless to say, since I was a teenager, who embarrassed very easily...It was not a favorite moment at the time...smile.
Wonderful card JD, love all the cheerful colors. Nice to be sharing the team with you.
ReplyDeleteGreat card and a wonderful story.
ReplyDeleteHi Jill, this is such a cute story.
ReplyDeleteHope you are having a wonderful July 4th.
Hugs, Barb
Sorry about your dress, but it seemed to all work out well in the end. I remember a friend and I both got dropped on by the same bird, it got my hair, but it got her eyelashes. YUCK!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful card, it's such a pretty little scene and I love the picket fence.
oH my goodness!! what a story! I guess it has happened to nearly everyone, at one time or another! they got me on Easter Sunday when I was little--out swinging!! Love the image--and you have colored it up just gorgeously!!! (is that a word?)!! : )
