Home sweet home...






I love being home during the summer...hearing the frogs croakin...and the sprinklers goin.  It was 92 today and I LOVED it.  After the winter and nonexistent spring...I welcome the warmth and sunshine.  I have not popped in for a few days...been busy with this and that.  My dh had to leave for a 2-3 week stint working several hours away and I miss him dearly.   Work has been slow coming for us and I am glad for the blessing of it but sorely miss seeing him puttering around on the lawn and such.  Glad to have my son and our sidekick lab Riley , and our two cats.   I thought I would pop in with this little primitive house I altered awhile back.  I painted it white first and than used my beloved Helmar crackle. I also used it on the little home and heart sign...it works really well on plain ole papers.    I than used some new papers that I got from girls paperie...that have the vintagey look I love and covered the little wooden house and than went to work embellishing it.  That is the fun part huh?  Using bits and bobs to make something unique and yours.  I adore the combination of aquas and pinks...fresh and fun.     Hope you enjoy and sooo hpe you are all able to enjoy summer!  hugs, cherry

Your details are lovely, like the aqua button card layer and hints of glitter behind the rose! Adorable!
