Sunday quote....

Off to Bakersfield today. - Whew - it's going to be hot!  But, there's a pool and a bbq and my cousin's Grandkids whom I haven't seen in 4 years.  So excited to see them - so who cares if it's hot!

Enjoy your day!

Time for a family barbecue!  I can hardly wait to see everyone - it's been too long!

(and yes, we've all been vaccinated 😀)

Have a great day!

Off to shop at a Brighton store (yay!) and lunch at a fun place called The Farmhouse.

Have a great day!

The card - more from the new set.   Flowers and label are die cut.  The card is white with a strip of gray at the top and bottom.  Center strip is a piece of ombre paper.  Super simple!

'Leaving on a jet plane'........it's almost time!  Woo hoo!  My flight isn't until later tonight so I have to mow the lawn this morning and then all that's left is to pack my suitcase.  Soooo excited!!!   I'm hoping to get some posts scheduled to post before I leave, but if I run out of time you may not see anything from me for the next week!  (disconnecting  this week - not taking my computer!)  But I'll be back!!!!  

Have a wonderful day!

The card - another one using new stuff from SU!    (The name of this set is Meadow dies - the matching stamp set is Quiet Meadow)    I embossed the background.  The oval frame is made by cutting two oval dies together.  (layering one inside the other)  I cut the flower die twice, once in green and then again in pink.  I cut the pink flowers off and added them to the green stems.  The other leaves are die cut in green and white.  The label is stamped and then die cut. 

A busy day.  Need to get my house cleaned up a bit this morning.  (I really like to come home from vacation to a clean house!!!)  Knitting/handwork group this afternoon and then class tonight!

Photo Sunday - always love when the lilacs are blooming in the spring!   Glad I had my phone with me when Ethan and I were out for a walk the other day!

Have a wonderful day!
