Relax.Read.Repeat

Today's card is for several challenges! My crafting time is limited this summer so I was glad I could combine a few challenges with one card!



Newton's Nook Designs has a color challenge:

I used Newton's Book Club stamps and dies from NND.

Seize the Birthday #266 is be inspired by a book.


I absolutely loved this challenge idea! I was inspired by the book At Home in Mitford by Jan Karon.  I love the whole series! Father Tim's lovely neighbor, Cynthia Coppersmith, is a writer of children's books. The main character of her books is her cat, Violet! Violet is not always as docile as this kitty on my card though! The book will have you laughing, crying and gleaning little gems of wisdom throughout. 

And just so you know this is a birthday card. Here's the inside:


The sentiment is from NND's Birthday Oval and the kitty is another one from Newton's Book Club.

The last challenge I am entering this card in is the Paper Players:



I covered the diagonal:  blue, diecuts and embossing.

Today the Farmer and I packed a lunch, our chairs and a book and went out to the beach at Neskowin, Oregon.


That's Proposal Rock and the ocean and the sky just blend into one another!  It was an absolutely beautiful day! 

Happy Stamping!
