Happy Monday! Today I'm sharing a card I made with Verve Stamps's Delightful & Delicious set. This is probably my favorite card that I made for this release! During our many trips to Seattle this past year I was able to visit several wonderful coffee shops! I was definitely in my element there...in fact, if my DH said "hey, I think we should move to Seattle" I think I could have our whole household packed and ready to go in no time!! I just adore Seattle and the surrounding area! Ok...back to coffee. :-) This card was inspired by the "urban chic" style that many of the coffee houses there were decorated in.
I combined several different patterned papers (Crate Paper and October Afternoon) as well as a variety of embellishments. I just looooove these colors together!! So fun!
I also wanted to share some family pictures with you. Saturday we took a day trip to the Old Prison Museum in Deer Lodge Montana and the Grant Kohrs Ranch (also in Deer Lodge). The Prison Museum is the actual old prison...where you get to walk through many parts of it and read about several "interesting" characters that spent their lives there. The kids thought it was pretty cool to see, but I thought it was a bit creepy. LOL! Even though we live on a ranch and experience daily the lifestyle we saw at the Grant Kohrs ranch, it was fascinating to read about the rich history this ranch (which is now a National Park) has!
They had this fun "photo op" type of board set up outside the museum. When J went to "pose" for me, D couldn't help himself...he had to go and see if it was really J in there! LOL!
I love these kids!!!
Here's Ali...looking happy and healthy! Woohooo!
DH showing B the "ropes"! LOL!
J showing off his mad roping "skillz"! :-)
D swingin' a rope bigger than he is! LOL!
B & D taking a much needed rest! :-)
"Sheriff" D!
On this old tractor is where my two little guys spent most of their time!!
Well, I better go and tackle the mountain of laundry that is waiting for me! Thanks for stopping by...I hope you enjoy your day! ~Laurie
