This year for my birthday I wanted to go to the Lake and have a picnic, hike and time with my friends. However, the day was rainy and stormy, definitely not weather that calls for a fun day at the Lake.
So instead, the girls came to my house and my friend Tracy prepared a Chalk Couture Day for us in my craft room. :)
Chalk Couture is a company with stencils that are more like a silk screen that you paint. You can put them onto wood or other projects. Here is a bird project that I made on a board. I still need to attach the rope for the Blessed letters.
All in all, we had a wonderful day together. But I think I still need to schedule a day at the lake for us. :)
For the Thank You cards to send to them, I chose an old set from the "archive room" called Glad Heart. I still love some of the older sets when folk art was in style.
I colored in the little angel with the stamping blends and chose some papers from the Tea Boutique to go with her. I added lots of little flowers that I had to cut out by hand (!)
There's lots of bling and Wink of Stella on the cards to embellish them. I love how they turned out.
Do you still have any of the older sets that you like to use?
