After two days of twenty minute naps, Laila finally crashed for a bit today. I was thankful for the break and headed to my room to try to stamp a bit. I decided to combine the clean-and-simple sketch at The Paper Players with the colors at Dynamic Duos.
If you are like me, you have a tons of stamps that have a little (or in my case, a lot) of dust on them. I decided to pull a couple of them out tonight to make a card. I need to justify keeping them, right? I did use current colors and lots of little flowers and pearls. I was inspired by a lovely watercolor of cherry blossoms that a former colleague painted for me. My card is not as lovely as her painting, but I kinda like it. :)
We've been doing a lot of floor time lately, but still no crawling. She is learning to roll back and forth pretty good though. I'm in no rush for her to become mobile because I know once it happens we are going to be chasing her all over the place! That girl has some serious energy!
I hope everyone has a great week.
I just LOVE this card Rita, wow!
