You Make Me Happy

Hi everyone! I'm back from our family vacation in New Mexico. That was a good 2 weeks. Our time was split between Albuquerque and Taos. My parents and 90% of my relatives live in Taos. My dad is undergoing radiation treatments in Albuquerque, so we spent more time than usual in Albuquerque. My sister and her family live in Albuquerque, so we stayed there several nights.

I took some crafting supplies and some pre-stamped and pre-cut odds and ends for the nieces to play with after Kalino's birthday party was over on August 1st. They had fun customizing some mini notebooks and they made cards. I also joined in the fun and created this card with a design I cut from my Silhouette months ago. I should have faux stitched the design before I put it on the card with foam tape, but I made my job a little harder. I threaded the button with linen thread from SU! and attached it to the card with a Glue Dot.

Here's a picture of 2 of my nieces at work.

Thanks for stopping by!

Another great card! Lovin' the way the cut out letters look.

The girls look like they're having fun and what a great idea to take supplies with you.

It was so nice to see you in person for a second at the airport...hope you had a great vacation!
