Good Saturday afternoon - I got some cards made last night and one this morning - had to wait for some sunshine to take the pictures - the sun wasn't quite perfect. Notice the difference in the green color in the two cards - one card was angled a different way - in the afternoon - it is a perfect spot to shoot pictures. It is also very windy out so I took many pictures of cards falling down this morning. I do not attest to being a photographer. Digital does help though - delete and the bad shots are gone.

I have had this sheet of paper laying around for awhile - loved the paper - double sided from Scenic Route. Perfect for birthday cards. SRM Stickers is having a blog hop this week end and they have a sketch - the sketch worked perfectly with the paper I had. I just had to alter the sketch a little. As long as the papers were out, I made a second birthday card. I love the bright colors in this paper. The circles are fussy cut from a piece of the paper - otherwise the card looked naked.

I did make another card this morning before I ran some errands. Home to do some housework and then I have a birthday date with one of my neighborhood grandchildren - they get $20 and we go shopping and then we go for dinner. Halley is going to help me run some errands also. It will be nice to have some company. I have a feeling we will end up at Toys R Us - a store I never go in unless I am with the neighborhood children.

Everyone have a wonderful day. We have a perfect summer day in Wisconsin.
