Riley makes such a handsome Sailor in this
Sailboat Riley stamp! 

The paper is by DCWV, the punches are by
Martha Stewart, the shapes cut with Spellbinders
Nestibilities.  All coloring was done with Copics.
Added an Offray grosgrain ribbon bow and
a rhinestone.

Let's Have a Picnic!

Ahh this sneek peek looks so cool and comfy! 
Definitely not the weather in Riley's hometown right
now.  Kansas is blistering hot and muggy. 

This  makes me want to find a nice cool shady
spot for a picnic with Riley!

This Picnic Riley stamp would be perfect for making
invites to family get togethers or office picnics.

Paper is by DCWV, punches by Martha Stewart, shapes cut
with Spellbinders Nestibilities and all coloring done with
Copic Markers.

See you Thursday night at 9 pm central for the Blog Hop!

Stay cool!
