I am not so good at doing Clean and Simple cards but I do like how this one turned out. It's hard for me not to add just one more thing when doing these types of cards.
For this card, I spritzed the Crumb Cake card with Marina Mist and Summer Starfruit inks. As you can see, I used lots of Framelits and Dies to make this card. They make it so much easier!
We had a good time this weekend in Atlanta. Before we got on the highway, we met Margaret & Graham in Charlotte for lunch. Margaret called me Friday night to tell me they were in town - a last minute decision. Too bad she didn't call earlier and she could have come to my Christmas Card Stamp a Stack! We met Ashley and her friends for drinks and dinner when we arrived in Atlanta. Sunday we walked over to the Coca Cola Museum and toured it. It was really interesting. Afterwards, we found an Irish pub to watch some football. Ashley thinks we much have a touch of Irish in us! Ashley went to her conference Sunday night to hear the opening speaker; Sonny stayed and watched more football and I went back to the hotel for a nap! This morning after breakfast, we checked out of the hotel and drove over to Underground Atlanta. How disappointing!! Back "in the old days" when Sonny and I were dating and were first married (early 70s), Underground Atlanta was THE hot spot! I have many fond memories of bar hopping and having fun in Atlanta in the Underground. Today though it is just a plastic, sterile shopping area with really junky shops and kiosks lining the roads. You can still see some of the original architect - brickwork, granite archways, cast-iron pilasters, ornate marble, wooden posts and gas streetlamps from a centuries earlier but other than that, it's not worth the $3 we paid to park! The only store we even wandered in to was the "Made For TV" store!
I have a really busy week so bear with me if I don't post much. Tomorrow Ashley and I are working in the Soup Kitchen early and then coming home for afternoon Stamp Club. Wednesday I have my second Christmas Stamp a Stack and Thursday is my other Stamp Club. After the ladies leave on Thursday, we are heading to Asheville for a couple of days. Somewhere in the next week, I need to plan my menu for Thanksgiving and do a little grocery shopping.
