Saturday morning...

Wow...this week really got away from me.  Work has been really busy and by the time I got home I was in cruise mode, plus a couple of my favorite shows were season finales...

I did manage to make a couple of cards for challenges this week...


A Father's Day Card for the Crooked Path Challenge over at Crafty Secrets...


I had the most wonderful visit with my parents yesterday.  Such a leisurely day...a long conversation with my youngest on the hour drive to my folks...a little shopping with my mom...some t.v. with my dad...a nice chat with my niece and a fun phone visit with my sister in South Texas, (she says they're in the 90's and humid already)...homemade Mexican food for dinner (yummo)...peppered in with my grandson entertaining us all! 


A Paris themed card for City Crafter Challeng Blog CCCB, which also fits the bill for the color challenge over at The Playdate Cafe Challenge PDCC30...I love when that happens!



I have plenty of housework to catch up on today and then tomorrow hubby and I are spending the day at a park on the coast.  Better get going!

How about you?   Any plans?

Have a wonderful weekend,
Patty

playing with paper...

It seems that I've been spending alot of time lately in the garden and redecorating in my little cottage...
 I
lately I've had the itch to thumb through the treasures and trinkets in my paper stash and play around some...



I forgot how much enjoyment I get out of creating beautiful cards and tags...




There certainly is no shortage of inspiration out there...





I found it here with Melissa Phillips at Lilybean's Paperie...I love yellow in decorating but don't usually use for cards...I really do love it's sunny disposition...




and more inspiration here with my dear friend Heather at Simply Handmade...she's hosting this week over at City Crafter Challenge Blog...







There is something about all the pretty paper and my treasure chest of trinkets and buttons and pearls and punches that calls me back time and again...




That's it for now...

Hope you enjoyed your visit...

Blessings,
Patty
