We have finally recovered from last weekend's rock festive, the older I get the longer it takes but I have so much fun it is worth it. This week was busy doing fun stuff because school starts this coming Thursday, can't believe summer break is almost over. On Monday I met up with Darnell and Harriet and we went to the Hero Arts outlet in Richmond, it was so so tiny but we all managed to spend money that has to say something. And then a nice lunch after at Pyramid Brewery in Berkeley. Tuesday I went back to San Francisco for lunch with another sweet friend and we ate outside at a cute French Cafe, so fun. In fact this thank you card is for her, she is one of the sweetest ladies I know. Wednesday I had my hair done and Thursday my sweetie took me to Half Moon Bay for a wonderful lunch at Sam's Chowder House. No time to make cards until this weekend...I have more to share but you will have to wait to see those. Thank you so much for taking time to stop by....enjoy your week!
Harriet, Me and Darnell

Beautiful thank you card Kim! Love the patterns and colours. I am very envious of you three pretty ladies shopping at the Hero Arts outlet! Happy Sunday!
ReplyDeleteThat looks both fun and delicious Kim! You have really been keeping yourself busy this Summer...bet you are looking forward to your trip to Joyce's...sure wish I didn't have to miss it this year!
ReplyDeleteYou totally ROCKED these colors, Kim! Love the patterns and the simplicity of the design! Fabulously done! The pictures are great! That Lobster Roll looks delicious! Sounds like you all had a great time!
ReplyDeleteWow--what a striking card, Kim--love it! Wish I could have been with you--looks like you had fun even though the store was small.
ReplyDeleteHi Kim,
ReplyDeleteYour Thank you card is so bright and pretty! And it sounds like you have been having a wonderful summer! My son heads back on September 3rd so we are starting to get ready! I am trying to let summer last as long as possible! LOL! :)
Great design and patterns for the vivid color combo, Kim! I think you have another winner on your hands!! I'm so jealous that you went to Sam's! Thanks for making me drool all over my keyboard. Monday was a hoot with you and Harriet, as always!! Hugs, Darnell
ReplyDeleteThese colors look amazing on your card, Kim! The stitched panel for your sentiment is great! Looks like you girls had a fun outing! Love girlfriend time! Thank you for joining us at Colour Me this week! XX
ReplyDeleteLook at you all CAS - great colors and patterns - the enamel dots just pop. Looks like a perfect day - so jealous here. Some day that will be me hanging out with you! Lunch looks AMAZING! Looks like a perfect day!!
ReplyDeleteIt sounds like you've had a great time!
ReplyDeleteI like your design, the colors look great together, as do the patterns. And most of all, it's so 'unisex', give it to a woman or a man, it doesn't matter. I like that about a card, personally I find them really hard to do myself.
Such bold graphic designs & colors on this card. So very striking. Congratulations on your win, too, very well deserved I'd say. Lucky you to enjoy the Hero Arts outing with such great company. Sounds as though you've been busy enjoying life - which is much more important than card making or blogging. You can do those things, when you don't have the opportunity to enjoy your loved ones and spending time with them. Hope you'll share some of the H.Arts goodies you found. Your dinner looked delicious too! TFS & Hugs. Happy wk ahead.
ReplyDeleteWhat a fantastic use of this week's colours Kim - I love the stitched panel and the enamel dots look fab against the bright orange, a great CAS card! Thanks for joining us again over at Colour Me...! this week.
ReplyDeleteWhat a striking card, Kim ... gorgeous patterns on the DP and I love the burnt orange! Sounds as though you had a brilliant week ... lovely people, fun things to do and all that yummy food ... perfect! Anita :)
ReplyDeleteAnother gorgeous card!!! Love it!! Thanks for playing along with us this week at Colour Me...!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful and very classy card, Kim! Love the patterns and great colors! Your week's activities sound wonderful--so glad you are enjoying some end of summer fun.
ReplyDeleteWhat a neat design,very trendy! Looks like you had fun again with friends. Now that I saw those potato chips on the plate I want some now,but I can't keep them in the house because I will eat them.
ReplyDeleteWhat a gem you are to create such an elegant, thoughtful card to thank your friend for her companionship! Heart-warming...as was the time spent with people who are special in your life. The HA outlet certainly appears lack-lustre, but time had with friends makes that A-OK (can you believe that outside of some inks, no HA lives in my collection?? Yeesh!) Cafe du Soleil - gorgeous; the lobster roll - yumm!! Such a delightful post, from the pretty card to the pretty people, to the pretty food...
ReplyDeleteHugs~c
Sounds like you are making the most of the last days of summer, Kim. I didn't know HA had an outlet store and I am now craving lobster :) Your balance of color, pattern & white space of the card is perfect!
ReplyDeleteI saw the photos of the 'under-whelming' Hero Arts Outlet Shop on Darnell's blog. Talk about a small place but you forget about all that when there are craft products to be purchased!! Must be really lovely to have other crafty friends to catch up and laugh over your disasters with. Loving this card by the way. I would never have put those colours together and I'm amazed at how good they look, especially with the crisp modern layout you have. Your friend is going to love it!!
ReplyDeleteLove the layering on this card. And what a delicious plate of food! Yum! Am gonna need a lobster roll before the summer is over!
ReplyDeleteYou made my day with this post - so glad you had such a happy week!! Your card is definitely a winner!! Have a great night!!
