A Waterfall of Dogs

Party Like No Tomorrow

Hello friends, 

I'm sorry, I've been a little distracted.  We had a few HOT days.  I thought it would be a good time to be outdoors.  Ryan and I went to the lake and splashed around a bit.   The water is still really cold, but that didn't stop a little boy for making the most of it.    In true NY fashion the temperature has dropped again and this week.  I'm hoping to play a little catch up in my craft room this week. 

This guy is one of my favorites.  I love when the image is strong enough to carry a card.  He doesn't need any bells and whistles  He just is so darn cute all on his own.

Sitting Here

Greetings,

Welcome back to our normally scheduled blog posts.  Thanks for hanging in there with me last week.  I don't participate in many coloring challenges, but I thought it would be a positive distraction from all that is going on in the world. 

Today's cards comes from a Stampin Up stamp set.  I like that you can switch up what is sitting on the swing.  I chose to use the cat in this example.  I thought it brought a bit of life to the card.  I felt like the pillows alone were too lonely.   I added the robin to help balance out the design.  I just felt it needed something. 

I hope you are finding some calm in the storm.  Remember if you need anything, I'm just an email, text or phone call away.  Hugs to all.
