Simply Showers.

Is everyone getting rain? We got a bunch of rain and the roads are too slippery to go anywhere. This has been a weird winter and the temperatures are supposed to go higher as the week comes to a close.

As you can imagine, I do not mind the "higher" temperatures, and have left my kitchen window a bit open to get some fresh air in the house. Card making continues strong in my craft room, and it does make easy to work when you have two neutral colors and a color of your choice to put a card together, and so it is for The Paper Players 327. My card showcases the Playful Backgrounds stamp set, as well as the Flower Patch and a touch of the Flourish Thinlits. My additional color is Mint Macaron and it paired up really well with the Black and White. The ribbon adds to the simplicity of the card and the bow closes it all. A picture perfect card.

Thank you for visiting today. Come again for more inspiration. Be well

Nicest weekend.

Oh what a wonderful time we had this past weekend when we got to spend time with our friends that moved to Pennsylvania but got to come to WI for a long weekend. The children got to spend time together, have lots of fun, enjoy the sunny days, and just enjoy each other. What a wonderful thing is friendship.

I also got to spend time with my dear friend and enjoy her company. Have long talks, be silly, enjoy a drink together, and have a party to go with all that. Super weekend. They left Tuesday morning and we are already missing them all. I got to my craft room and prepared today's card for the Mojo Monday 466 since I could not do anything about them going back to their home. The sentiment from Picture Perfect translate very well how I feel about this friend. The Playful Background sure shows how the children spend their weekend: with lots of fun in the background and everywhere else.  The   Moonlight DSP stack lent the color scheme and it looks so playful that I just could not pass. Now I can write a nice message and send it off.

Thank you for your visit today. I hope you call again. Until then, be well.

Dreams of love.

Oh, how nice it is to be slightly better in our routine. We still have an outside class that starts this week and that means that we have this to add to our routine. I am planning so I am not caught short, but will have to make sure I get meals prep ahead so we can all have lunch and dinner.

This week there was a class in church about family. One thing that I got our of it is that we must invest in our families with love, compassion, care, truth, and mostly time. Another thing is to not create expectations on the children that they mus be the best in everything.  When I was preparing this card for the PP312, I was thinking of all that and the sentiment from Picture Perfect jumped at me and I thought it suitable. The card, giving it is so neutral it can go as masculine or feminine, which is always a plus for me. I used the new Christmas Pines stamp set for the fern in the corner and the edges was stamped with the Playful Background along with the splashes from the Swirly Bird stamp set. A simple card as far as embellishments are concerned, but artistic in its own merits.

Thank you for your visit today. I wish you a very happy week and please do come again. Be well
