Thankful Thursday

Quick post today--heat index is supposed to be 105, and the temp in the house is 85 degrees, so I'm having a bit of trouble focusing on anything for very long. I took the kids out this morning to run an errand and the humidity about did me in. I think it is 95 degrees with about 85-90% humidity. Thailand has nothing on Philly this week. But, I promised some positive thoughts about the heat, so my positive thought for today is that the lovely peaches we've been enjoying the last two weeks love this type of heat, and wouldn't be as delicious without it.


A few more baby thank you cards to show today--love that little tricycle! I got the basic idea for the card from a splitcoast stamper--cmstamps--and modified a few things to turn it into a baby thank you card. I made four of these. I really like the bright colors and the funky mod circles. Also my new favorite embellishment is that little Itty Bitty Shape punch with a rhinestone or pearl in the middle. Takes the place of a button very nicely and is much flatter in a card when you have to mail it! Love that extra little pop!


This card was a one-off. I saw it on the From Our Hearts blog and wanted to CASE it, but it had so many pieces I didn't want to make more than one! I love the card though. One thing I wish I had changed was to make the matted circles different colors--so Baja Breeze on the turtle, Peach Parfait on the whale and Pear pizzazz on the lion, or something like that. I think it would have been a little more interesting.
