A Warm Spring Day - PPC #9

Hello everyone! I don't know about you but our weekend was very busy, but oh boy did I love the sun and warm weather. Yesterday we had my daughters birthday party. The project I thought I would do was get the kids to make a Mother's Day or a Father's Day Card. With the help of my good friend Lori who convinced me that too many stamp choices for the kids would lead to a headache, we paired it down to a little designer paper and flowers (from my mom), and to making it a simple design and only 3 small layers with specific stamps. It worked wonderfully! :) Less was more in this case...LOL. So thank you to my mom and Lori for your help, I couldn't have done it without you!

What a FABBY color combo this week at the Picture Perfect Creations. When I pulled out the colors and put them together I just knew I had to use this Greeting Farms stamp. The colors reminded me of warm weather, the hot sun and oh the blue water....I was thinking of our trip to Mexico a few years ago...tons of laughter and relaxation. *Sigh* WE would love to go back...maybe some day :). My sketch was found over at Friday Sketchers and it was designed by Beatrix (Sketch #97). Thanks Beatrix for a wonderful sketch...it just pulled this card together.




Here is my card...isn't she adorable...I think she looks like she is thinking beach day...

Today is another busy day, my boys are starting soccer, babysitting and oh the dreaded laundry, that piled up while I was painting. I will be painting more this week, so I really need to work hard to get something accomplished today...one good thing is a card has been made. Maybe I will be lucky to make one more tonight before I go to bed...oh I will keep hoping.
Have a super super day. Thanks for stopping in to check out my blog.
