FWF #42 - And Did You Know...?

Hello! I know it just turned into fall and yet... there is a significant amount of Christmas stuff in the stores already. Did you know there are only 71 more days until Christmas?

I decided to play with one of the more recent sentiment kits today, since Mika and her father are traveling down to San Diego this weekend for a big softball tournament (83 teams!) - I wanted her to have a couple of encouragement cards to open while she was done there. Mika may not get much playing time on Sunday (where once the team loses, you're out of the tournament) but it will be a great learning experience for her. We'll see how it goes! Marika and I will be spending the weekend together, so I expect it will be very quiet, though filled with soccer games. :)

I found a couple of sketches and made two cards using Everything Comes Full Turn {September 2015 Sentiment Kit}. I just absolutely LOVE the Unity sets where they provide a shaped image and you can stamp a variety of different sentiments within.

 

The first sketch is from a new blog I found, called Just Add Ink Challenge Blog.

I just used some MME cardstock and layered sequins with pearls for this one...

The second sketch is from Freshly Made Sketches 205.

And I know this looks Halloween-y, but it's actually just my camera - the cardstock is navy blue but the patterned cardstock is really a light yellow-orange. Oh, well!

Speaking of yellow-orange things, we made "breakfast for dinner" this week and I tried a new recipe called Home Fries At Home. 

 

It's a very simple recipe, but had lots of flavor - amazing how sometimes just a few key spices can have a lot of pep. Gotta love paprika! 

Thanks for visiting, hope you all have a wonderful weekend! :)
