Welcome WOYWWers and All Others!
I'm with Julia about these Tuesday evening shots fighting the low-setting sun rays, as you can clearly see. Another week of Wednesday morning busyness for me, so I'm posting tonight.
On my desk is the d'Tritus from making my card, also for this post. I need to wash my windows.
Please join me and hundreds of other crafters at Julia's What's On Your Workdesk? Wednesday weekly awesome Snoop Challenge. It's a kick in the ashcan! Truly.
My card is for a couple three things. Okay, just a couple. I wanted to get a start on making 4th of July cards, because it's a big holiday in this family. Mister's cousin Frank, on his father's side, Frank's father, I mean, was one of the original Furter families, largely of Clifton, Mass. There is a direct line all the way to the first catered lunch at the first fireworks over the harbor.
Also, I wanted to join in the big party over at The Paper Players where they are celebrating their 100th challenge. I should have made and posted this card with my 100th follower celebration, but that synapse connection didn't spark at the time. The celebration challenge is to pick any challenge and play; check it out! So I picked recent challenge #98, Jaydee's Theme Challenge, which was summertime.
You can't get more summertime in America then the 4th of July! Here's my card. As I mentioned, the lighting wasn't very good. By the time I got outside with it, the sun had set itself all the way down in its ocean chair. It's my first time playing in this fun challenge and I hope to do it more often!
I also took a picture of my card inside the Playhouse in a patch of sunlight just to see if that would work and it turned out kinda kewl.
Doesn't that look like it might have been taken through the bars of a jail cell? Which makes the "Freedom" message all the more poignant? I think so anyway. I could see that on a poster somewhere, or a Coffee Table Book about America. I'm quite imaginative.
Enjoy! As always, thank you for stopping by to visit. Special thanks to you if you take the time to join as a follower or leave a comment!
