Hello Lucsious Card Set

Hello!  I hope that you are having a beautiful summer's day!  We sure are!  It's been an amazing start to summer with hot hot weather!  I wanted to pop in and share another card set, this time one that I made for Ariel's teacher!  As I mentioned when I shared my first of the teacher's card sets, I didn't have much time and was working at a fast pace!  I usually find myself thinking and thinking about card sets until I have it all perfected in my head!  With this one I had a rough idea and I told myself that I don't have time to think I just have to do!  That said I am still pretty happy with this set!

It's not easy to take pictures of card sets!  Much easier in the summer though!  Can't decide which way is better...

I started by stamping the envelope background with vintage photo TH distress ink onto all the kraft cards.  Than I sorted through my Hello Luscious patterned paper by Basic Grey to find some scraps to work with!  I than cut and punched them.   Than I stamped with versamark the branch from the Luscious Patterned Flowers set by HA and embossed in citron powder.  I stamped and embossed all the flowers on a separate kraft cardstock and cut out and adhered with a foam square. Stamped the sentiments.  I added all the pearls while at a play date!  Here's how I wrapped it all up:

Yesterday I took the kids strawberry picking!  My mom came along too.  We were both able to get 2 baskets (like a 4 litre pail) before Carter had enough!  :>  I love where we go, it's an hour drive and yes there is a few places closer but this place has a free animal petting farm, a fun maze and a very rustic playground!  I think this was our fourth year going there!  We all had such a blast!  Even Carter who is scared of dogs loved the animals!  He was so cute petting and chasing some!  He kept jumping for joy!  I also taped them and Chad loved seeing it!  I hadn't noticed he was jumping and running until we watched the video!  Ariel loved it too, she loves animals!

Sitting on the tractor after picking to go back...

 I love Carter's face!  He's on top of the maze!

Looking at these photo's make me want to go back!  :>  My kids have been loving the strawberries more than any other year!  I had been planning on making jam but I don't think there will be any left to make it!  And that's okay, the freshly picked berries are soo good!  I was so looking forward to making my strawberry banana muffins with freshly picked berries and I did today.  They are soo good BUT I think they are also really good with store bought and really that's good because I can't always get fresh!

I wanted to mention that I am so thankful for all your sweet comments.  I love sharing my creations with you!  And I love sharing about my family life.  I appreciate that you stop by and leave me comments that I know you did!  I am finding it difficult to keep up with everyone.  I am finding that after days full of summer fun I am sooo tired at the end of the day and I just don't have the energy to be online!  But I want to let you know I am trying.  I get so inspired by all of you!  :>  I hope that you are enjoying summer too!  I wish it was longer!  :>
