and decided to try to make the card - look how it turned out! Easy Peasy! Doesn't he just make you smile?

Time to get Creating

Have you noticed how things have slowed down on the internet card making groups? Think everyone is so glad to have spring/summer finally arrive - they are spending every minute they can outdooors.
How about you? Are you able to create or are you spending the daylight hours out of doors in the garden and nice weather?

more cards

Well the wedding invitations went into the mail yesterday morning.....Had a bit of a moment as I was addressing the envelopes.....suddenly it is becoming very real and much closer!
Finally got my act together and made my cards for the CCE June exchange - also rec'd a lovely card from Julie B who lives in Spruce Grove - wonder if she has much snow as we do - about 6" and it is still coming down! The scan does not do the card justice - it is pink with a sparkly background - beautiful!!!!!!Thanks so much Julie - you made my week!

Back from Las Vegas

Was in Las Vegas for wedding - daughter of UK friend - We had such a good time!- even had a visit from Elvis and he sang Hawaiian wedding song and I ended up in tears - yes dating myself I know but I do love that song........ And another highlight was finding the Viva Las Vegas stamp store my first day there - yes I dropped some money - and got some wonderful stamps. What a store - if ever you get a chance - it is so worth the trip. My DH & DS love horses - so thought this stamp would come in very handy at my house.
Made some exchange cards and Rec'd two card from the CanadianCardExchange group for the month of May - thanks Sue and Irene!

Wedding Invitations

When our daughter was home for a visit this past Jan, we finalized the wedding invitations. Makes sense for me to make them and send them as some will be going to UK, Europe, Canada, US and Australia.
Just after she left I got busy and stamped the background stamp, printed the inside and front of each. So between Sat and today I was able to trim everything up and mount it on the velum - now all Sandy and I have to do is put the bits and pieces on the cards - am so relieved they are almost done. Now when she sends mailing list - all I will have to do is address and mail them.
Now to get busy creating my April mingle and swap cards.
