Another side step card...
Yes, it's still obviously one of my favorite ways to make a card...(I have a link on how to make a side step card in my previous post)
I've been having summer doldrums...I guess that what's you could call my mood.
The humidity and allergies of summer don't help. Plus I think I'm feeling a bit sorry for myself because we haven't been able to take even a one day overnight vacation in years. Sorry for my complaining. I try to keep my blog light, but this does
explain part of the reason why I have not been on my blog (Or computer as much) lately.
I am thankful that I was finally able to find some motivation to make some cards again.
It does help to lift my spirits. I do have my craft night friends to thank for that, they have been able to get together with me more lately. I feel very blessed to have people come to my house and
craft with me.
The above card was made using paper from Paper Wishes, and I cut the teapot out using a die made by Serendipity Stamps. The flower is a sticker from K & C company.
"The best cure for worry, depression, melancholy, brooding, is to go deliberately forth
and try to lift with one's sympathy the gloom of somebody else."

Thank you for visiting my blog today,

Hoping after this next week of heat and humidity the summer weather gives way to a beautiful Autumn. Sorry to hear you've been feeling kind of blah. We've had a crazy year and are ready to move on.....although, I know I'll complain when the snow flies and someone I love has to be on the roads.
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely gorgeous card!! I love the colors and pretty papers!! The details are fabulous!! Crafting really is good for the soul...if I'm feeling down, I head to my craft room and it always improves my mood. I hope you feel better soon. Have a great evening :)

ReplyDeleteI hear you about the time away Jill - we too are pretty much tied to base.. and yes, the humidity is a killer, so glad ours is not too bad where we now live.

Jill. this is an absolutely lovely card!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful sidestep card! I love the glittered flower and the teapot die is so pretty. :)
ReplyDeleteI, too, am a bit in the doldrums. The weather for me, though, has been quite gorgeous. I have finally been able to sit outside with a good book and not worry about bugs or too much heat. Love your step card, I didn't realize you made them yourself. I cheat! I bought a pack of pre-made bases at the last show. Try to cheer up!
ReplyDeleteAnother stunning card, sweetheart, and another reminder to me that I'm yet to create a side stepper. MUST do so soon!
ReplyDeleteLove, hugs and blessings,

ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely card! I love the colors and the beautiful pink tea pot.
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely card - the teapot is adorable. I hear you on the no vacation thing - we haven't been anywhere in a very long time - not even a long weekend. Crafting is my only "get away from life" mental vacation.
