The weather has been fantastic!

I'm enjoying it so much.  Yesterday

because of the way the wind was blowing

(thankfully very little) I could smell

the bread baking at the McDonald's

bakery factory.  It smelled so good!

Simple pleasures.

I saw a card like this online and thought

it was pretty cool.  I didn't cut it quite

right, though, and I had to free hand

the flower part.  But it's OK.

This is made with a new die and

I wish I hadn't gotten it.  I didn't

realize you had to emboss the

edges after the die cut out

the shape.  I have never had good

results with embossing this way I end

up tearing the images in the paper.

Drives me crazy.  (John would say short

trip!) I was so looking forward to

getting the die and so disappointed

when I tried to use it.  Oh, well.  Thankfully

it wasn't too much.  

I did get some new dies yesterday in
the mail which I already love.  I have

to play with them a little to get just

the right card, but there are so

many different ones and many, many

ways to arrange them on cards.

I'd better go get Lili up before she

wears her screaming voice out....

Happy Saturday!
