28th Anniversary with Tim

 Last week was our 28th wedding anniversary. We went to an Italian restaurant then to a fun lake and park. It was too hot and muggy to stay out for very long. We took a short walk then went back to the coolness of our car.

Last year with COVID, we couldn't go to a restaurant. We went to Coe Lake in Berea and explored all around. We hadn't been there since they'd transformed it into a beautiful place with a gazebo, a covered picnic area, lots of trails, and areas where there were benches to sit on in the shade.

I have to say that is the most memorable anniversary ever. I think because we did something out of the ordinary.

Where did those two youngsters go?

Check out this card made for today's challenge on Splitcoaststampers. The bears are in a new stamp set I acquired. It is called, Count on me. I've seen some really cute cards with this set. I'm not the first to draw clothes on the bears, but I was excited that I was able to draw lines to make it look like clothes on the bears! I can't draw a straight line, that's why I stamp and color. LOL

  Challenge: use something from your home to inspire your card creations this week. Choose a collectible, a home accessory like a curtain or a pillow, a picture or wall hanging.

These little bears sit in my studio by my Big Shot. They were a gift from DH years ago.

I stamped the bear then stamped on acetate and rubbed the image onto white cardstock for the reverse image. I drew clothes in pencil then traced in black Sharpie. Finally I colored the bears and added the gold heart and sentiment.

I've been busy this week holding card making classes. I'll post the cards soon.

Thanks for stopping by.

Blessings,
