Last night I got into my stamp room pretty late and somehow scrounged up enough energy to make a card inspired by the sketch at CAS(E) This Sketch and the colors of the inspiration photo at Just Us Girls. I was watching television while I made this (sometimes not a good idea) and since it was late by the time I finished I waited until this morning to photograph and post it. Well I must have been dreaming of this card because in the light of the morning I was prying things apart so that I could re-do parts of it!
It's a glorious day today with the sun shining so I'm headed outside to putter around the garden and then do a little relaxing with a book on the patio. One thing I discovered since being on vacation this past week is that I can't wait until I retire and I can putter around to my heart's content!
Thanks for stopping by!
