Goodbye weekdays; Hello weekend!!
I love my weekends. Sometimes we have hectic, overly planned weekends, but the ones I love the most are the ones with no set schedule. Like this weekend. Time to relax and unwind.....ah! I think the only thing we have tentitively planned is an outdoor concert at the State college in town. I love going to outdoor music festivals because we bring a blanket to lie on and I get to watch my almost 4 year old dance her wiggles out! :) Nothing brings me more happiness.
Today's card is all about that free living feeling. Riley sure knows how to unwind!
This Friday's Hanna Stamps challenge (HSC72) on SCS is a color combo of Burgundy, Pink and Black. Huh?! What do you mean my card doesn't have those colors in it?? Ok, I confess: I tried to make those colors work with Fins Riley, but it wasn't working out. And I'm just not that flexible to change my stamp choice to make it work. ;) Oh, but looky here; at this card I did last weekend! It has all those colors in it! LOL I already did this challenge before the fabulous Cindy posted it! LOL If you'd like to play along, please do. Just follow the link I posted above. (Remember, everyone that plays along on our weekly challenges goes into a draw to win a stamp set of their choice at the end of the month!)
This card is pretty straight forwards, so I won't go into too much detail. I only want to point out that the inverted scalloped circle isn't those new nestie dies everyone's been using. As much as I wish I had them, I've been using my decorative scalloped scissors to recreate that look. Don't discount those scissors just yet! They're cheap and effective! LOL
I hope you all have a fabulous weekend whatever it is you're doing! And don't forget to stamp!!
(PS. Just incase you were wondering why Riley appears to be standing on sand and yet the sentiment mentions 'hanging in the pool'.....I was thinking about these pools!) :)

Gorgeous card Sandra, Riley looks so cute and your colouring is beautiful as always. Hope you have a great weekend. Hugs Nikki x
My goodness you are amazing ~ I'd never catch the scallop wasn't a nestie if you hadn't mentioned it before ........ this is lovely. I like the seperation of DSP to look like water/sky/land - faboo!
This is so cute! I love everything you make, I think I will just have to be your number one stalker now.
Hehe love it! Totally cute and the colors are perfect!
I so want to be where Riley is right now...especially if it's in Sydney at those cool rock pools! Sahweet! Great card, as always. I like the two PP's you put together...and you can't go wrong with Kraft. You do amazing things with decorative scissors, dang girl! Have a great weekend!
This card is so cute and fun! Love the colors, flawless DP choices, and I can't believe you cut that scallop with scissors!!! I totally thought you had the new Nesties! Wow!
Thanks for the link on the rock pools! They look amazing and the idea is pure genius! I like the ocean, but sharks terrify me. What a wonderful solution! You Aussies are so smart! And talented!!!!
