I am back from my trip to Alaska and it was AMAZING!!!!!!! I had a fabulous time with my Mom and my sister. Absolutely gorgeous scenery, we saw Mendenhall Glacier and the colors of blue in this glacier are indescribably beautiful; we saw so many waterfalls I lost count; we took a trip to the Misty Fjords and it was fantastic; Ketchikan, Juneau and Skagway are just wonderful towns.
Then the wildlife... Bears, Bald Eagles a plenty, Mountain Goats; Seals, Porpoises and to top it off the Humpback Whales!!! All I can say is I want to go back and if you ever get the chance I highly recommend you go.
I will be trying to play a little catch up with all your blogs this week, I am sure I have missed some amazing creations.
My project for today is a card I made for Operation Write Home using their sketch. Pretty simple to make with just some cuts of pattern papers and some stickers.
Here is their sketch:
Supplies used: cardstock - tan, white; patterned paper - Brilliance from Hello Sunshine by American Crafts; stickers - Glitzers Garden by Glitz; stamp from "With Love" set by Whimsical Designs; ink Tuxedo Black by Memento.
