8-11-22

 Hello there-

The temps are starting to come down some, so I am spending more time upstairs. It seems the humidity seems to linger upstairs so even with the AC the stickiness bugs me and I tend to stay  downstairs where it is cooler.  

Again I have two cards for you which were inspired by three challenges.  In order of challenge closing:

Less is More has a theme of Butterflies.  I hope just one will do... I used the sketch from Just Add Ink for the card design,



 


My second card goes to Double D Challenges with a Theme of Lighthouse.


 


Time to go make some food, thanks so very much for stopping by!

Sometimes the heat and humidity are just too much for the AC to conquer. I found that out in our motorhome, sheesh. I'm sure glad it cooled off enough for you to create these two cards. The rainbow of colors for your butterfly are a beautiful contrast with the black, and I'm sure this one striking butterfly is plenty. Your lighthouse card is awesome with that glorious wave and the shining light. Thanks bunches for thinking of us at Double D!

I love the simplicity of your butterfly card and the wonderful ocean wave on your lighthouse card. Two perfect cards. Glad life is getting for comfortable for you. Still very very hot her. We have 2 or 3 more days of it apparently. Don't like it xx

You know I cannot resist a beautiful butterfly, Cat! This one is a sweetie!
What a wave! Our lighthouse gets pounded like that and you should see what she looks like all frozen! Gorgeous, my friend!

ps On a sidenote... I get the Follow It feed but seems your cards [and others] always arrive a day late. Not a complaint, but just wanted to let you know. x

Two gorgeous cards Cat! Your butterfly card is so striking. Your rainbow colours and black details makes me think of an Autumnal day and your design is CAS and beautiful! Thanks for sharing with us at Just Add Ink this week.
