I’ve been away for a bit, but I’m back and I should be posting weekly going forward. I had my hip replaced – what a breeze. I know the knee rehab is bad, but my hip is completely back to normal. Anyway, what you really came for….The Royal blog.
Welcome to InKing Royalty’s July Blog Hop! This year’s Blog Hop themes are inspired by a single word – and this month our projects are centered around SUNSHINE. The Sun is the single most important source of energy for life on Earth – it guides our clocks, calendars and planting schedules. We may be enduring a heat wave this week, but we still associate the Sun with positivity, joy and renewal. We are excited to share our creations with you today! After you read my post, I hope you’ll hop over to the next person on the list at the base of this post.

What a gorgeous card. I am in love with this dsp.
This is so sweet Jan. So glad that you are feeling better!
The sentiment is perfect, Jan, but it’s the coordinating with the gorgeous background paper that sends this card over the moon! Love it!
Thanks Brian.I love this DSP, so it isn’t a hardship to pair it with the colors to bring out the hidden colors. Can you see your house from the other side of the moon? I’m just saying…lol
Love how that gorgeous DSP! Also love how the coordinating colors are showcased on this card. Very pretty.
Thank you Sheryl. I’m using DSP on my cards and it’s outside the comfort zone, so its nice to hear that people like it.
The DSP is just sunshine on a piece of paper. Gorgeous! So glad your hip is much better.
I am completely healed. No pain at all and I walk straighter! Thanks for stopping. by
Beautiful card! Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for the generous praise. I’m outside the box, using DSP. I usually save it so I can look at it. It doesn’t make sense and I’m trying to break the habit. Thanks for the comment. It’s how I know if people are looking!
The DSP just says Sunshine, doesn’t it.
Hi Lynn, I’m not sure what you mean. But thanks for stopping by
Pretty and sunshiny card. Thanks for sharing it. I am sorry to hear about your hip, and I am glad to hear that the surgery went smoothly.
Thanks Linda. It really is an improvement on the hip thing though!
