The card - more pretty paper.  I stamped the sentiment on the panel of patterned paper, die cut the rectangle and then just popped it up in the opening. Added a bit of bling.   A quick and easy card!

'Grandma time' with Hudson.  Not sure what we're doing today.  But it's ice cream day so that is a 'for sure' thing!  (and it's my turn to pick the place - yay!)

Have a great day!

The card - some more sweet stuff.  Checked patterned paper at the top and bottom of the back panel.  Smaller panel is embossed and matted  Ice cream is stamped and die cut.  Bowl is die cut from patterned paper.  Cherry, spoon and heart are all die cut.  Circle is die cut with stamped sentiment.

'Grandma time' with Hudson.  Today is our library day and hopefully a couple of errands before it gets too hot!  Probably a good day to avoid the heat and stay in this afternoon - I see puzzles and games in the future!

Have a wonderful day!

The card - I found some really cool patterned paper at my favorite local store (Seasons to Follow) the other day.  Using it for cards is so easy!  For this one I stamped the sentiment on the panel, then die cut it and then popped it up in the same opening.  Added a bow of twine.  So easy!  And so pretty!

'Grandma time' with Ethan today. Kindermusik this morning, trip to the grocery store and then family dinner tonight.  Pretty much a regular Monday.

Have a wonderful day!

Photo Sunday - my friend Karen brought this pillow for show and tell to our Needle Keepers group last Tuesday.  Isn't it beautiful?  

The boys had an overnight and for some reason woke up really early this morning :)  Now we're just hanging out waiting for Get Air to open.  Then to lunch and then I will drop them at home.  Oh my, what am I going to do with an entire afternoon to myself???   ðŸ˜‚
