Random stuff on a sunny Saturday…

Hi there! It's a beautiful sunny Saturday here at the ranch. Went stamping last night at Jilli's stamp group and made some super cute cards and had wonderful, necessary girl time (thank you Jilli!) Slept in really late this morning – darn allergies.

I have a thank you card to share with you today – kind of a Mary Engelbreit feel to it. Hope you likey! the stamp is from Penny Black.

Here is a close up of the coloring/shading:

From the side you can see that I popped up the entire image on foam tape. I colored a second set of the top flowers and put them on the bottom near the bee hive – I go through A LOT of foam tape in my stamp room!

My Copic color pallete for this project:

This afternoon/evening we are heading out the the park for a big BBQ for my brother's 30th birthday party. I made a Mediterranean pasta salad to bring to share. It is yummmmy! I use cherry tomatoes, yellow bell pepper, cucumber and feta. The dressing is Bernsteins Cheese/Garlic Italian. I let the veggies soak by themselves in the dressing first so they get the flavor. That way the pasta doesn't get too soggy. The feta goes on at the end.

Some wise advice today from Buddy the Cat….He says if you only put HALF your body on the scale, you will only weigh HALF as much! Good advice! Hahahaha.
