Sweet Sundae Ice Cream

It's hard to believe that I'm still longing for summer. We haven't really gotten a good summer here. It was SO nice on the weekend and then it gets cold and cloudy again. Ethan, my little man and I had a date on the weekend. We simply agreed to eat ice cream at the deck. What a moment that I cherish, and it inspired me to create these adorable tags. 

Blue and pink tags.You can also create these or get them from my shop. Get this cute sundae image from JW Illustrations.

Baker's Friendship and Thank You Cards

Happy Monday everyone! Hope you had a great weekend. I surely did. The sun showed up (finally!!) but hide again today. I come to a conclusion that the sun doesn't like Vancouver for now. 

I got a chance to make a couple of cards using JW Illustrations' Stack of Mixing Bowls Digital Stamp. 

Boy oh boy, I had so much fun with the laces and twines....and sewing. These little fabric materials simply adorable.

 

I use distressed ink to adding a soft and warm touch to the cards.
