Well that was one of the best weeks and weekends weather-wise we’ve had for a
long time. The Canada Day
celebrations with the family were great, the long bike ride the next day was
great, a day off to recuperate was nice and then another long bike ride
Saturday and a BBQ and hike on Sunday. While we hiked on Sunday we saw several
birds, including Baltimore Orioles, Yellow Warblers, Woodpeckers, a Kingfisher
and a Great Egret. This is the first time I’ve got even a so-so picture of the
Kingfisher. Here it is…..not a great shot but good enough to prove we saw it.
And the Egret was a long way away but I did capture it and it
actually made a nice wall-paper photo for my desktop computer. Here is the
Egret.
Today’s card is one of those ‘I need a card and I need it quick”
card.
I love small paper packs because all the paper matches and it’s
quick to put something together. I took two greens (left over pieces) – the top
and the bottom and laid them out on the card base – didn’t quite meet. I found
the middle green in the stash (with the sentiment already stamped) and it
matched perfectly so I placed it on top and glued everything down. This piece
of green came from either a friend or the thrift store because I don’t have
that sentiment stamp. I added a gold peel-off line on the edges of the middle
panel and a peel-off lady bug and called it done. Sometimes less really is
enough.
More thunderstorms tomorrow but that’s all for a hot and humid
Monday!
Cheers
Violet
