♦♦♦Avocado Arts: enjoy the ride♦♦♦


Happy Saturday!

I wanted to share another card that posted over on the Avocado Arts blog this week.

The September New Release, Stuck on You is so very fun:


I think my FAV image is that FABulous beach cruiser:


The sentiment has been stamped on some scrap Authentique paper and added as a banner...do you get the sense that bicycle is zooming by?  Never mind that there isn't anyone pedaling it...LOL.

I added the Sweet 'n Sassy die cut clouds to brighten up the look.

Did you know that I own a highly neglected pink beach cruiser?

Yes, this is card #12 using the Authentique Summer collection..crazy eh?

It's amazing how many cards a 6x6 pad can crank out.

Speaking of 6x6 pads:


These have been stashed away in a drawer...The basic grey has been a good go-to for color challenges...the Cosmo Pads are pretty picked over.  There must be a couple Early Bird Collections in there, my all.time.fav.cosmo.cricket.

Can I tell what's been going on in my life?

My girl leaves for college this month.

I'm in the midst of moving.

I'm wrapping up my current full time job.

I'm starting an exciting new part time job.

I'm part of a multi-crafter garage sale.

Did I mention I'm moving?

From one crafter to another...moving is a scary word....garage sales are lots of work.
i.have.too.much.stuff.

Today, I'm spending the morning with a bunch of crafty ladies and I can't wait!  I've been slammed at work and at home!

For you locals, you'll want to check this out:

WOW, you certainly have a lot of changes going on! It will be an adjustment but I'm sure you'll be fine. Moving is tough for sure. Hope your girls aren't going to a college very far away.

If I stacked my 6x6 pads like that I would probably have that many. It's CRAZY but I love them all. Impossible to use all those beautiful papers before I see another pad I fall in love with and have to buy! LOL!

Your card is wonderful Amy!!! Have a great weekend!

Carla said…
I DID know you had a pink beach cruiser, I remember when you got it! Lots of changes for you, girl! Make sure you allow yourself some down time. Oh, and don't even try to get over your kiddo going off to college. My oldest graduated from college in May, and I still wish he'd come home.
Sylvia said…
Love your bicycle card, Amy, I feel like I am on a never ending ride as each day seems to get longer with things to do! Yes, really, that stack of paper looks like a lot of house I know! Good luck with your purging and good luck with the sale!
Jinny Newlin said…
Busy, busy, busy! Gosh, Amy, I totally relate. So much is going on in our life, too, that I simply can't share just yet, but know that I'm thinking of you. Your card today is so fun! Really adore those Authentique papers! Yum!
