The special stamp set we have for you this month is:
"Dino News"
The mini stamp set we have for you this month is
"Dragonflies"
As soon as I saw the solid block image with the rounded corners, I thought of shadow stamps. I worked it into today's card with some color blocking. The line art lotus image crosses several of the blocks. I had to work in some of the scrumptious dragonflies from the mini stamp set with the same name. The "wonderful day" sentiment was perfect for today.
Today was my husband's birthday and we celebrated with a grand dinner at home. We barbecued pork chops and beets straight from the garden. I added some rice pilaf, roasted garlic bread and blackberry pie for dessert! It was delightful...now I need to stay away from that pie. Wish me luck!
