ColourQ #354


Hello...Happy Tuesday! Hope you all had a fabulous weekend. My daughter and I spent Friday, Saturday and Sunday at Outside Lands (3 day rock concert in Golden Gate Park), This was our sixth year attending and as always, we had a fabulous time rockin' out with 70,000 other party animals each day. This year we decided to splurge and got VIP tickets, it was so nice to have real bathrooms! I have a few photos to share...hope you don't mind. Also please forgive me for being behind once again. First my computer was down for a week and once it was back up and running, I was gone for 3 days. 

 ...and yes, I was dancing on the ceiling with Lionel Richie!
 Posing with Ranger Dave

The Muppets, what a fabulous show they put on!


Wanted to share this photo with you from the Outside Lands site to give you an idea of how many people were there and this was only one of 4 stages. It's crazy but so much fun!


 my black is behind the gray, love the subtle look of just a bit of black. I hope you will find the time to play along with us this week at ColourQ #354

So sorry that this is a bit of a long post...The week before I went to San Diego to visit Joyce and Marybeth, we had so much fun making cards and chatting! I look forward to my visit every summer, we always have a wonderful time.


Thank you so much for taking the time to stop by...enjoy your week!

  2. Oh My, that is a crowd!! Last October when my husband and I were in SF we went to the Golden Gate Park for the hardly Strictly Blue Grass festival...that was amazing, but the crowds the day we went was not nearly what you are showing! Super fun though! Love your card and the picture of you three lovely ladies!!

  3. Your weekend sounds like it was just awesome! I think the VIP tickets would be my choice, too, if the alternative is a port-a-potty! But it's all about the music, right?!

    I love the card. You've given me a NEW idea to use a very old background stamp. I don't even think I have ink on that one! Very cool - thanks for the inspiration!
    Hugs!!

  7. What a wonderful tradition for you and your daughter!! Your card rocks too!! I love the wee bit of black peeking out from the birthday sentiment. Also love the cute photo of three of my favorite crafters. Wish I could have been there!!

  8. You are a very brave lady to fight(or enjoy!) all those crowds at a rock concert. It _does_ look like fun though. I'm so glad you had your daughter to enjoy it with...doubles the fun. Love this swirly turquoise vine pattern with the bold sentiment. The shadow effect is so pretty, and one I can never manage to get to look 'just right'. Yours is wonderful. It's quite CAS, but oh, so colorful. TFS & glad you've been having a good time lately. Always fun to meet up with crafty friends. Hugs

  10. That event looks like it was a blast - your daughter must think you're one cool Mom :-) A lovely card for this week's Colour Q challenge and a great reminder that I have that lovely BG stamp and need to use it more to create cards as fabulous as you did!

  11. That's a pretty and elegant pattern and great idea using black only to create that shadowing effect for the sentiment.
