Hello



Hello, hello...we have beautiful, cool weather tonight.  The boys are outside playing and looking forward to only two more days of school until summer!  I had a quick play with this week's MUSE Challenge.  I was inspired by the blues and yellows in Laurie's fabulous card.  At first I tried to ink up stripes, but after three attempts, I threw that card away!  So...I went back to my trusty PaperSmooches dies, a Lil Inkers Polaroid frame and off I went.  Another CAS card in the books.

Before I go, I thought I'd share a couple of pictures from Elizabeth's graduation party.  We had a great time celebrating with her this weekend. Hard to believe she'll be off to Ohio State in a few short months attending their Honors Engineering program...clever girl she is!  Ryan has passed her in height...Jonathon's growing but needs a few more years!


I love this picture of Elizabeth and my mum.  I think you can certainly see the family resemblance!  Hope you have a great Tuesday!
Here's Laurie's MUSE inspiration card...

what a beautiful young lady...and fabulous that she is going into Engineering. It still was male dominated at Jake's grad. I encourage my little girls to go into the sciences and math if that's what they like to do at centers :) Those sweet flowers are adorable against the frame! I need to bring mine out again :)
