It's been a great weekend, filled with lots of work, AND lots of fun!! We had a great time at the tree lighting last night, and then today, we continued celebrating!
This time, we switched gears from Christmas to birthday, as it was my Mother-in-Law's birthday Wednesday. All of the kids and their children headed out to where my in-laws live, and surprised her by showing up to Mass at their church this morning, then we headed over to their house, and all of the kids made a HUGE brunch for the entire family (7 kids, plus spouses, and 15 grandchildren!) It was an awesome day. The kids all had a blast, and it was nice to spend time all together.
Here's Grammy's card, made with the new Stitches & Swirls stamp set from Papertrey Ink, and Signature Greetings, one of my FAVORITES of all time. Both were stamped in SU! Elegant Eggplant. I colored in the stitches and swirls with my copics, and it's hard to see, but I used my gold spica glitter pen to add some highlights and a little sparkle.
That's about it, easy peasy. I hope you all enjoyed the weekend, I'm ready for bed, I swear those pancakes had tryptophan in them!! ha ha ha :) OH -- Here are the copic colors I used :)
I LOVE it! I also bought this set, but mine hasn't met my ink pad yet. Now that I've seen this cute creation, I just might introduce them very soon.
ReplyDeleteHappy belated birthday to your MIL. I hope she enjoyed her celebration.
Awesome card! How did I go all these years not knowing that she shared her birthday with Bob?
