Some extra 'Grandma time' with Ethan today.  I hope it gets warm enough to spend some time outside!  My body is having a hard time dealing with 80 degrees one day and 40 the next!  :)  But, that's spring in Colorado!

The card - background panel is embossed.  I die cut the rectangle out of the panel and then used a piece of patterned paper behind the opening.  The leafy stem is die cut.  Pretty darn easy!

I'm on school taxi duty this morning.  Jeff is playing in a golf tournament so I will go out and hang out with Hudson until it's time for school.  Yay!  Then I'm thinking I'll come home and maybe get some stamping done.  The stuff has been on the table for several days, but I keep getting sidetracked with other stuff.  Maybe today I can actually get something done :)

Have a wonderful day!
