Summer...where did you go?

So my summer ends in another week since my kids will be starting school.  In this household that means scheduled dinners, bathtime and bedtime.  It's bitter sweet for me...the kids will be in bed sooner which hopefully means more crafting time for me, but on the other hand that means early morning wake up calls and morning traffic, ugh why does summer have to end so quickly?!?

In my longing to hold on to summer I decided to make my next card based on a few challenges.  I loved the blooms seen in the next Pinspired Challenge and followed the sketch from Freshly Made Sketches which also fits the Timeless Twine: Tags and Twine Challenge

Jessica Swift Blomma paper pad, Timeless Twine Olive, Avery Elle-ments Simply Tags Everyday die and SRM sticker for sentiment

 

 

I loved the colors seen in the Pinspired Challenge from peaches and pinks to oranges and touch of green.  It's hard to see, but the solid colored cardstock behind the tag has an ombre effect, kinda like the blooms in the pic below.

And playing along with Timeless Twine for the first time introduced by fellow blogger Amy Tsuruta...mahalo Amy!

That's it for me...as always thanks for taking the time to stop by!
