Timeless

Hello Stamplings!

Please see ETA below re Comment Notifications!

We are going to see the offsprigs for a belated Father's Day dinner later on and I've a million coupla things to do, so I'll get right to it today with this QACAS card to share ~

I love the late-afternoon sunshine on the warm colors. I had to wait until then because we started the first few days of summer with sizzling temps. It was 105F (40C) yesterday, ugh, but thankfully the temps are spose to drop ten degrees today.

Anysizzle, where was I? That pretty old-timey pen is fussy-cut from a piece of pp. The MFT frame is cut from another piece of pp. The sediment is from Hero Arts. Remember those? I kept all mine; to me they're, well, timeless. The schplattered background was made with Gelato sprays I made a few weeks ago for another card and found in Bob, my box of bits.

If you missed my post here where I described how I made Gelato spray, I'll tell you a real quick shortcut. When you're at Max's Frozen Dessert Stand, ask the lady who waits on you if she could put the drippings from the trays under the different cartons of Gelatos into cups for you. When you get home, everything will be all melty and perfect. Don't put them in the freezer. Line up several sheets of cardstock on plastic bags in the back yard or on the patio and then holler for your kids and the neighbor's kids. Let them fill up straws with the different colors and blow them all over your cardstock. Not only are they pretty, but they smell delishus! (The tiniest tots might eat the paper.)

Don't forget to put the dogs and cats and hamsters and fence lizards into a restricted area before you start. Ask me how I know. Oh, and also, you'll need to strip down the kids, hose them off, and do a load of laundry, but that ain't no thing when you get such pretty results. And bonus, you'll have a fun video to share with your closest relatives and, you know, the world.

Challenges

• CAS(E) This Sketch: below.
• Just Add Ink: Just add a window/frame.
• Less Is More: Use something from your "bits" box. I think my background is soft and subtle enough to be considered white. Or no?
• Retro Rubber: Tic Tac Toes. Diagonal: Romantic occasion (anniversary card), patterned paper, and gem/enamel shapes. My sediment is from 2005.
• TIME OUT: Warm.

The last few days I've been putting together the last of my June cards and getting halfway through July, so I thought I would show you a few more simple Penny Black Stickeroo makes. 

ETA re Comment Notifications:

I noticed this morning that once again I was NOT receiving comments in my email. So frustrating when we thought someone had found the solution. I went back into my Settings / Email and under comment notification, my email address had been removed!! I reentered it, click save settings and now it is working again. WTH? Do we now have to do the Settings fix every time we post? How could my email address have been removed when it was there and working yesterday and I haven't been to Settings since I saved them?!

Please let me know when you post if the fix is still working for you. If so, it must have been a glitch just for me and I hope that's the case! If not, we all need to get on the Blogger Help Forum and blast them with hundreds of complaints!!

Enjoy your day! No, seriously, enjoy! LITS!*
