Seeds of Love

I know you may be a little over seeing all these Valentine’s cards, but I had to share one more. This was a matching card and envelope I sent to my fellow friend in crafting, Melissa Bove, who is expecting her second child. It was a combination greeting...wishing her belated Valentine’s love and congratulations on her growing family. Our mutual friend, Lindsay Weirich, designed the digital set, Love Grows, which I purchased at www.Mygrafico.com for use on cards and layouts. I did another similar card for my friend Kathleen which I posted on the gallery of that site. The background Cardstock is from Core’dinations. It is a golden buttercream color which put me in the Spring frame of mind. Hope it does the same for you, too!

Sorry but this card got picked up for publication. I can repost the photos again later!

Spread some seeds of love and kindness today. Make a heartfelt card for a friend. Note: I used Glue Arts adhesives (Glue Glider Pro w/ high tac adhesive & Ribbon Adhesive) on this set.

Taking a Day Off - but not without my camera!

Last week all the Philly family visited Orlando for another "family reunion" of sorts. These reunions gather all the cousins and their families along with my aunt and my parents for the usual kabitzing and some silly fun. One wonderful thing is that our family continues to have such a close relationship with one another. We grew up living down the block from my cousins (3 boys) so they were like brothers to my sister and me. Last Tuesday, we all went to Islands of Adventure and Universal Studios for a full day of fun, rides and nonsense. It was a nice break and I loved the picture taking opportunity. I think my shorts are just now drying out from Popeye’s Barge and the deluge of water that fell in my lap before we even were two feet away from the loading dock. Although our group didn't stop to play in the Seuss section, I snapped plenty of photos of the colorful shops and attractions. My cousin’s wife, Kathy, loved playing with my Canon XSI and snapped this photo of us. I predict she will soon own an SLR. She was having way to much fun with the camera.

My girls reminded me that 5 weeks of their summer break have already passed. How can that be? Ashley goes for her driver’s permit test today. Ohhh, the fun is just beginning for the Wenger household!
