A Whole Lotta Stuff Goin' On.........

Busy weekend.  Lots of stuff goin' on.  First we got together yesterday to start making the invitations to my niece Taren's July wedding.   The plan was to make 200 invites, and at the end of the night this was what our pile of work looked like.

 

Did we finish????  You kidding???  Course not.  But we made a good dent in the work and will meet again to finish the deed. 

It was a full day of cutting, scoring,  gluing and of course, as is usual when the ladies in our family meet, gossiping was involved.   Nothing bad of course, just harmless fluff that we like to laugh about.   We are crazy, after all.   And of course there were yummies on hand -- finger sandwiches, pasta salad, veggies and dip, macaroon bars and since Easter is just around the corner, Cadbury's chocolate eggs!   We like to live on the edge, eating chocolate while making all white invitations!  (No stains, thank you very much!)

Then Friday night, Jordan had a gig deejaying a party down in Kitsilano, so Doug drove him and his equipment there, helped him set up, then I met him for a dinner.   

Jordan just got all new DJ equipment and he has been busy doing high school dances, as well as private parties as well.  It's extra money for him and he plans to take the DJ course so that he can charge more $$$.  He's quite busy doing this!

Then today I had to go to work and it snowed!!!  What is going on??   It will be April in 2 weeks, so shouldn't this snow business be over with?  I sure hope so....it's getting a bit old, this white stuff.   It was very wet snow, though and didn't stick, thank goodness.  I got home and made this card.
 

I used Cornish Heritage Farms  stamps set by Kim Hughes called "Bloomin' Beautiful and Cosmo Cricket Paper called Cobblestone, from the Fleuriste line. 

I stamped the flower 3 times, watercolored with my reinkers or any inkpad, then cut them out and popped them up on my card.  The centers are embellished with Ranger's Glossy accents and glitter.

All the items I used to create this card can be found at Clipper Street.
