Supper club was fabulous, as always. We had picadillo empanadas; shrimp, mango, and jicama salad; chicken with orange, red onion, and parsley mojo (not the scrapbook kind, the sauce kind); Cuban black beans and rice; avocado salad; coconut flan; and, of course, mojitos. Mmmmm....I'm so bummed that we are skipping July - everyone has opposing travel plans, which happens to us at least one month every summer. I can't wait for our August dinner!
Now, more October Afternoon goodness. I seriously can't get enough of this stuff! I used it to make Father's Day cards for my dad and for my husband.
First, the card for my dad, which features October Afternoon Daydream patterned papers, American Crafts Playroom felt Thickers, staples, and my trusty star (Fiskars) and notebook (Stampin' Up) punches:
Next, the card for my husband. I used a grid page from an October Afternoon mini album as the background. While I love grids and love this shape, you all know about my fear of mini albums. ;)Therefore, you will be likely to spot these pages used not as a mini album, but in all kinds of alternative ways. (Stay tuned to my next blog post for a layout with one of the mini album pages as a journaling block.) The patterned papers are from the Detours and Daydream lines, and the stars and "once upon a time" phrase are from the Everyday Basics rub-on set. The cute little potty people are from Maya Road (and are one of my all time favorite products - I seriously think I should buy about 25 sets of these things because I am sure they will stop producing them, at which point I will cry if I don't have an endless stash of them hidden away). I added card text in story form to follow the "once upon a time" phrase on the card's front.
