Card Patterns 16


The sun is gone and the rain has returned; hopefully only for a short time. I thoroughly enjoyed my pool and the sun this weekend. I had to go to work today which felt strange since I hadn't worked in over a week...oh, well vacation is over.
I made this card using Card Patterns sketch #16 and my May card kit from Treasured Scrapbooking. It is also for my Paper Therapy group who was challenged to use stitching. I stitched. By hand. Some day I'll learn how to use my sewing machine.
The "laugh" rub on didn't go on quite right.

I also have another picture of a rose for you.

And in fairness to my other kitty Duncan, since I posted a picture of Celia last time, here is a picture of him hiding under the lounge chair. The camera must have startled hime because his ears are back and it makes him look kinda goofy. So cute!
