He took a moment to consider venturing out...
and then he made his way down the path to my studio shaking his legs as he did so.
He sat here for a few minutes on my studio porch
and then had the sense to come back in the warm again ....brrr. He is such a funny cat, we do love him so much.
Sunday could not have been more different and there really was a spring feel to it. I even managed a couple of hours gardening.
How fickle our weather is, these photos were only taken 6 days apart. Today has also been beautiful with some real warmth in the sun.
My card today is not not a snowy card but it is something love related and is the engagement card I made for my niece who recently got engaged and is planning a summer wedding this year. She loves pink so I knew pink had to feature. I also wanted to use a loving sentiment and my LOTV stamp suits the bill perfectly. I went for something CAS so that the sentiment really stands out. Here it is
I think this is a perfect sentiment and it fits so many occasions. I have used my Cheery Lynn stacking heart set to create the hearts. My backing paper is from my stash.
I would like to enter my card into the following challenges;
Cheery Lynn tickled pink
Pan Pastels Love is in the air
Natalie and Amy all about the love

I hope for those of you that do still have snow that it is not too deep where you are and if it is keep snug. Thank you for the amazing comments you left on my last post where I shared my journal pages showing my great grandmother...I was thrilled to read how much you liked my inky play on Friday.
