Simple Saturday

Hi! How's your day going? Mine has been up and down.

I got a few cards made, the first one pictured to the left. I was in the mood for something bright and think I accomplished my goal. The photo doesn't show the embossing along the bottom of the black piece very well or the fact the flower on the left was attached with foam mounting tape. Otherwise, what you see is what you get!

Materials & Tools: White Daisy and Black cardstock; Magic Moments paper packet; Sunflower, Olive, and Black ink pads; Verve Stamps Petals & Stems and Thoughtful Florals stamp sets; Black Bitty Brads; Stampin' Up Word Window punch; Cuttlebug w/Just My Type border folder; 3M foam mounting tape.



This next card was made with an image I colored the other night. I really love this paper from My Mind's Eye. It's cardstock weight and textured. Cute.

Bjorn and Mathias were with us until shortly after noon today. Mathias woke me up shortly after 7 with his usual, "Grandma, the sun is up! It's morning!" After breakfast, Mathias and I played our usual Cootie and Memory games. He won. Both of the boys had a little computer time, too, before we went outside to play and take advantage of a beautiful day. I was having as much fun as they were until I took a tumble while playing soccer. I hope Spray 'n Wash works as well on the grass stains on my pants as it works on their clothes. LOL.

This afternoon, Marv went to the golf course, and I took a nap. Still battling a dumb cold and cough, I'm not as perky as I wish I was. Tonight, I'm going to find something funny to watch on television. Watching news 24/7 is kind of depressing. It's seldom they tell a happy story. What are you up to today? Whatever it is, I hope it is something fun. As always, thanks for stopping by! It gives me a reason to keep coming back!! Later ...
