Fireflies

If you’ve followed my blog for any amount of time you know that if we have a firefly set, I have to use it. I positively love fireflies and that is something I miss living in Hawaii. We don’t have them!

They also bring special memories cause when the kids were little they were enthralled with them. It was so fun to go out and watch them

So, when SU put out this set, Lighting the Way, it was ‘add to cart’ without a second thought.

And. I used the misty moonlight and wild wheat (get it?? Wheat— Kansas??!) because what would be more appropriate for a dark summers night in the middle of the breadbasket??

A bit of wink of Stella on the firefly’s butt adds a subtle sparkle to the firefly!

Hope your summer has fabulous outdoor evenings spent under the stars, enjoying fireflies (if they live where you do)

Head on over to see what Anne and Cheryl have for you!

Summer Nights

I love a good Kansas Summer evening… that comes complete with the magical presence of FIREFLIES  I just LOVE them.  It’s so pretty to look out across the yard and see the little bits of glowing floating around in the trees.  So, when this Jar of Love stamp set came out I KNEW IMMEDIATELY it was going to have to be in my calendar.  And that it had to be for JUNE.

So, the colors in this month are very simple.  The pink is the flirty flamingo.  I used Sahara Sand to stamp the jar, handle, and fireflies. (A tiny bit of masking with a post-it to make the bow not be too big for the jar neck).  And, then I colored the fly behinds with the daffodil marker and added a smudge of wink of stella (Stella doesn’t like it’s picture taken apparently…so hard to get it to show up on photographs…)

Now I can have my fireflies in Hawaii…

Go see what Anne and Cheryl have for you!
