Toes in Sand - Nose in Book - Life is Sweet

It's Friday - HURRAY :)  I am so excited it's Friday because we are going to the Biltmore House tomorrow with a friend and her daughter and it will be nice to get away for a little while.  I'm sad, however, because we will be leaving Patrick up there to visit with my family over the summer.  He typically does this every year, but it's still not easy to do this because I miss him so much and it is always so quiet here when he is gone.  I know he has fun and gets to see everyone, so that's good.

I'm here to show you a fun card I created for a friend whose cousin is celebrating a birthday next week and loves to read and the beach.  This is the first time I have created a beach theme, so this was a fun one to put together.  I just LOVED it and am so glad I have distress inks :)  

A lady from work saw it and asked me to create 3 more, so I'm going to be busy when I get back on Sunday :)

I hope everyone is doing well and will have a great weekend.

Pet Sympathy

Hi everyone:

It's been a while and am really hoping to get back and running real soon.  Patrick is going to spend some time with my family this coming weekend, so it's going to be real quiet and see the possibilities of getting busy again :)  It's going to be too quiet though, but I know he's going to have a great time.

I was asked a while back to create some pet sympathy cards and finally got to use the "You are Pawsome" stamps and dies I purchased a few months back.  When I saw this set, I knew I had to get it and can see it being used not just for sympathy, but also for other ideas.

Well, I'm off for now, but keep an eye out because I'm coming back soon :)

Thanks

Janet
