I Miss You

Hello there!  Popping in with a card for the current Color Cue Challenge.  I took the lead from Dawn's card and choose to stamp a white background image on kraft and pop the other colors in with the sentiment, twine and button.  Definitely a CASE! 
Ingredients: PTI Kraft Paper; Stampin' Up Cherry Cobbler and White Craft Ink; Twine: The Twinery; Stamps: Wplus9


As I type this, it is 8:30 on Sunday night and three out of my four boys are crashed out!  Marcel and Collin fell asleep on the way home from Nana and PopPop's house and have been asleep since then! Our weekend was extremely busy and filled with lots of family and tons of food.  I feel like I could run for a week non-stop to get rid of all the candy and yummy Easter dinner/brunch!

Here are just a couple of fun shots from Easter morning!  I'll have more pictures to share (but somehow I need to widdle down the 166 pictures I just downloaded).  The boys were up at 6:30 (and I should say "the boys" don't include Ryan.  I sent Marcel to wake him up...you can imagine the teenage groan that came from his room). 

The boys playing with their new legos..

We couldn't go outside for a group shot because of the rain...so we tried inside...and started with these faces...
Quickly moving to faces of disgust by Ryan...
And me then losing patience and moving to close up shots of whomever was cooperating at the moment! :)

I love the untucked shirt...
 And his handsome brown eyes...
 And a sweet cuttle with his oldest brother and of course, his new legos...a little grainy, but still sweet.
Happy Easter!

Love your white butterflies on the kraft and the fab pops of color! Thanks for sharing the photos too, Lynn! They are such typical, wonderful boys! I remember those days when my younger one couldn't wait and wanted to wake up his older brother. Never a dull moment, that's for sure. Can't wait to see more pics from your Easter celebration! Hugs! :)
