Summer Stripes

Today’s card challenge is a color challenge. When picking colors, I tend to gravitate toward the Brights Collection. For this card, I tried to use more colors from the Subtles Collection.

While I made a few substitutions for a couple of In Colors (Lemon Lime Twist and Sweet Sugarplum), I kept my card on the pastel side. I ended up pulling out the new-to-me set Thought Banners and created my own banner birthday card for a friend. I love how versatile the message can be with this set. There are so many word options! After adding a little punched banner using the coordinate Duet Banner Punch, my card still felt like it was missing something. So I added a cute coordinating ice cream cone to finish it off!

July Crafting Goals

  • April PL Pages -- Seriously need to get these done
  • June Memory Planner Pages -- Need to continue staying on top of these.
  • July and August Classes and Events -- Thinking about doing Bingo in late August or early September. Plus need to schedule a few crop days and regular classes.
  • Start curating ideas of Arthur and Quentin's birthday party in early October -- We're going with a pirate theme and I love to Pinterest the shit out of my parties. I need to start pulling together some ideas.
  • July's cards and plan for August -- I'm sitting out of the SSINK design team this round but I want to stay crafting. I have a plan for July's posts that I need to complete. And I want to create a plan for August.

A recap of last month’s goals:

  • May's Memory Planner Pages -- Success! Done! 
  • Project life! -- 50% success. I finished off March's pages, printed some of April's pictures, and started laying it out. 
  • Schedule classes and events for June and July -- Fail. This totally fell off my to-do list. Hoping to add some classes and events this week for July and August.
  • Finish blog fix -- Success! I finally finished with the Craft blog. Now on to fixing the personal blog.
