On Friday I had lunch with former co-workers. I always realize how much I miss them when we get together…it’s often quite a span of time in between meetings but we catch up without any hesitations…that’s friendship. As an added bonus to my day, I went shopping afterwards.
There aren’t many local crafts stores around here…Yes, I’m a fan of Impress, but really, it’s a stamp shop. There is M’s & J’s but I don’t tend to go there for paper…I go to Ben Franklin! I’m proud to announce that I basically stayed within my ‘allowance’ I gave myself.
One of the new collections I picked up was Fancy Pants Designs, True Friend.
I gotta tell you that the color palette and the sweet woodland creatures makes it one FABulous collection.
See those sentiment panels? They are MAMBI Pocket Pages Journaling Cards {Thanks Kimberly!}. I carefully sliced & arranged them on my card base.
Since I picked up the True Friend Ephemera package, I actually had quite a number of choices for embellishments but I decided to go with the stacked leaves…I’m going to tuck this away in the airplane for Darin to find:)
I was inspired by
My friend and I have made it a tradition to meet up at the local Farmers Market in September. Everytime I go, I always wonder why I don’t go more often! We met up yesterday and of course, I thought that same thing. Only to find out that they have one more Saturday!
Here are a couple pictures I was able to snap, I made the mistake of forgetting my shopping bag so things were shoved in my purse and my hands were full:
mini donuts
sunflowers!
dahlias
Cranberry Romano Shelling Beans
(aren’t they cool looking?!)
So much fun, and yes, I hope to go back next Saturday and drag my Momma and boy along!

I LOVE this card. I'm a huge Orla Kiely fan and she uses a similar stacked leaf pattern for her 'wares', so it caught my eye straight away. Also love the way you cut the panels in two so there was the gap, very clever indeed. That markets looks amazing and you take very good photos. Really hope you make it back next weekend too!
Oh YOU….so glad you are getting use of journal cards! Amazing card!
I love the Tiffany color….and donuts too!!!
Great card Amy! And I love going to the Farmer's Market!

What a FUN post, Amy! I LOVE all the photos you shared today. Your farmer's market looks amazing. We have one out here, too, and I only tend to go about once a year…and then wonder why! LOVE your adorable card, too! Such a clever use for the pocket page cards!
Loving this CAS modern design! and the Farmer's Market looks amazing!
Hi Amy,
What a unique and fun card! Love it. Does not look like a carbon copy generic, I like that.
Amy, I am in BC Canada, 5 min from the Wa. border, and go across all the time, are you near me? I'm in Osoyoos BC?
Love your Farmer's Market photos, Sunflowers in particular!
Blessings, Barb
Fun take on the sketch using journaling cards? Genius! And I love me some farmers' markets!
Wonderful card. Love the colors and the lovely sentiments! He will love finding this away from you!!!
Its a super cute card..I am your new follower…cheers ! :))
Sounds like you had a lot of fun, great pictures. I haven't seen those Cranberry Romano Shelling Beans for a long time. When I was a child, beans used to be sold like that, in their own "shell" (I don't know how you call it, but since their name is "shelling" beans… I guess I'm close :)), and I loved to open them with my grandmother, happy memories.
It is sweet to see couples with grown up children keep being romantic. Yay for you both!
Love Farmer's Markets. My sister has been doing one all summer, she is an amazing cook so she preserves and bakes all week for the weekend. LOVE your card!
Darin will adore this card, not only because it's wonderfully creative, but because of the heart-warming thoughtfulness and love that you've infused it with! Your Farmers' Market finds: awesome! Love the flowers!
Hugs~c
