Garden Archways

Summer is here and so are cookouts.  

What better way to invite family and 

friends to a garden cookout then a 

beautiful layered card.  Stamp your

background in a shade darker then your

paper with Architectural Designs and 

Childhood Garden then color lightly with

colored pencils, next stamp it next in black 

on light colored card stock then over stamp 

it with Childhood Garden.  Now stamp Child-

hood Garden and Bird Silhouette in black on 

white card stock color with colored pencils,

cut out around flower head and birds. Layer

card with maroon, pink, birds and flowers.

Talented instructor in Taipei

We have dear friends in Taiwan that love B Line Designs and have sent us several samples that we just had to share.  They are very creative and beautiful.  Thank you to Laura Liu the owner of Created With Love in Taipei for sending the samples and to her talented instructor Wei.

Lunch at the Bistro

Bob and I had lunch at a bistro in Paris very simular to our stamp Bistro(VI111G).  I've added the lamp post (UK108D) to the street side and leaned a bike (BB502F) against it just as we saw in so many little bistros and cafes.  The cool thing about getting to travel is now when I make cards like these I can smell the bread and flowers, and hear the people speaking in french and the sound of traffic in my head.  It takes me there again and again.  ;)
