Cocoa & Crafts 8-1

Hello there! It's the beginning-ish of August and we are starting our 8th round of Cocoa & Crafts. I'm running a bit late on my videos this month as I've been super busy. Along with the regular gardening and berry picking to be done this time of year I've also been the "schoolmarm" for a local museum. I get to time travel to the late 1800's and spend several days a week teaching little ones what it was like attending school in the pioneer days in rural Wisconsin. It's a lot of fun, but doesn't leave me much energy at the end of the day for much else. 

I am thankful for my patient, understanding customers who were more than willing to wait an extra week for our classes. I hope y'all enjoy today's simply sweet card. 

We'll be using the sponge dauber included in the kit to give our focal point a light shaded background and also to give our peaches some color variations and make them look a bit more realistic. It's super easy and fun to see how each one comes out a bit different. 

The measurements for this card are pretty basic.

• Card base: 8 1/2 x 5 1/2
• Mat: 4 x 5 1/4

Remember, you don't have to order the kit from me to make this card. It's pretty easy to replicate with the items listed below: 

I hope you have enjoyed today's post. If you decide to place an order through my website, if your order is less than $150, please use the Host Code listed above (on the right), so I can send you an extra free goody. If your order is over $150 don't use the code as you get to pick out the goody yourself when you place your order. 

Till next time...

God's love and blessings!
