I am happy, so happy...it's summer and Saturday. And the Chucks are out! Thank you, Stacy over at the Inspiration Challenge this last Saturday in June for selecting the Converse as in kicks for our inspiration. LUV!
I am also putting my work in the Shirley's F4A488, Starts or Stripes or Both and Kathleen Curry's CAS539, Summer Activities.
I must admit this did not go as I WANTED. My printer refused to do what I WANTED. And so it came down to plan B. A full size print of my photo I took this morning. I wanted a few 3.5x5 prints...what I got probably took all the rest of my color ink in the tanks!!! BUT, how can I stamp such a sentiment: the best JOURNEYS are not always straight lines and not Follow those wise words?
So here's what happened to arrive where you see. Cropped the full size print. Stamped the sentiment with VersaFine 'Majestic Blue' and embossed tenderly with Ranger 'detail' ep. Added &d and called it done.
These two pairs of Chucks are hanging in our garage along with the snowboard, various helmets, and other gear. There are MANY, many pairs of Chucks in various states of well worn luv. I want to eventually cut them apart and make something as a memory for Andy....eventually. I think I'll either frame this as a gift or put it in a large scale Mixed Media journal along with future random journeys that began one way and veered.....
Thanks so much for hanging with me...you just never know what you'll find in your garage...

A card doesn't get more personal than starting with a photo of your own well loved chucks! This will make an awesome card for your Andy no matter what the occasion.
