We had such a good time up at Donner Lake this week! I made a sunflower thank you card for the couple that invited us to join them for a brief vacation.
They took their kayaks and stand-up paddleboards. We all took our golf clubs. We played on the lake, golfed, played games, BBQed dinner, and enjoyed the beautiful clear skies and wonderful weather. My friend took a tablecloth for us to eat dinner on and it had sunflowers all over it. The “light bulb” clicked on and I came home and made this card to send them!

Beautiful card and I loved the lake pictures. It looked like ya’ll were having a super time! Thanks for sharing with us!
Thanks, Lou! Yes, we had a great time. Hard to come back to regular life!! 🙂
Super cute card and I am so glad that you had a great tome away! Loved hearing that the skies were beautiful and you were able to take in the fresh air!
Thanks, Susan! It was fun. Our air in the valley is very smoky again so I’m staying indoors. Can’t wait to see some rain! I hope to see you on the call tomorrow!
Susan – I hope you will email me (loudavis2019) and let me know how much I owe you for those wonderful cards that arrived earlier this week. Thank you sweet friend. Lou
Are there instructions on how to make that beautiful Sunflower Thank you card
Thanks Karen, I inked the large sunflower with Bumblebee, then dabbed Early Espresso into the centers with a Sponge Dauber. I stamped that three times. I made a mask for one sunflower and used it to stamp the leaves around the flowers. I hope that helps!
