This was busy, wet day today! The forecast for the entire week
is rain, rain, and rain with thunderstorms! April showers indeed! We absolutely
had to go for groceries today – not a slice of bread in the house, no fresh
fruit or veggies left and running low on milk. Neither one of felt like getting
them over the weekend or even yesterday but today we just had to go. Talk about
being lazy! Just before we left for groceries my friend called to see if could
possibly look after her daycare kids while she went for a doctor’s appointment
this afternoon. Joe had an appointment as well and it worked out fine for him
to drop me off and pick me up later so I said sure I would help her out. She
wasn’t gone that long but Joe had the car so we had a nice long visit while
watching the kids play. We were waiting for the kids’ parents to pick them up
we were sitting talking….about quilting of course….and I had two of the three
year olds sitting on my knee jabbering away. Phene and I were chatting and not
paying much attention to them until it registered what they were saying – they were
arguing about whose grandma I was. “She’s my grandma!” “No, she’s my grandma” over
and over and we both had a good laugh over it. We have no idea why they decided
I was a grandma because they know my name but it was funny. By the time Joe
picked me up we were both tired and hungry and ended up going out for Chinese
food for supper. Like I said, busy day! Isn’t that typical – you go for
groceries in the morning and eat out at night!
The wedding season is coming soon so I thought I’d make a couple
of wedding cars to have on hand. Here’s one of them.
I love how this card turned out. I ran a piece of white
cardstock through the Swiss Dot Cuttlebug folder leaving about 1 ¼ space in the
middle flat. To do this just put one end of the cardstock in the folder,
leaving the other end stick out the end and run it through your machine – I have
Big Shot now. Turn the cardstock around and do the same thing. I had made a
light pencil mark where I wanted the embossed part to start. Then I placed it
on the Scor-Pal and ran embossed lines on either side of the flat spot. The
sentiment was stamped in gold but didn’t show up as nicely as I wanted so I
went over it with a gold pen. The gold and white hearts are peel-offs. The
white flower vine is one of my new dies from Die-namites that I won. The large white
flower came from a bunch from the dollar store and I just cut them off and hot
glued it on.
That’s all for a wet and rainy Tuesday,
Cheers
Violet
