these are some of my favorite colors. blue, green, and brown … love to use them together. and a little touch of orange … perfect. i did these cards with my scraps from a layout that is in the works. once again, the cards are coming before the layouts. i havn't had time this weekend to finish the layouts … but the cards were simple enough to finish off.

Its_your_day_card

i can't wait to finish the layout that these scraps came from. it's so darn cute … with the cutest photos and most adorable story to go with them. hopefully, in the next day or two i'll get to that. as for these cards? blue pattern paper is basic grey, brown too i think, and the lined card is actually from the KOTM april kit. the chipboard star is from lil davis. the fun orange chenille trim, the chipboard letters, the fabric brad, the felt button and velvet brad (on next card) are all from the newest baby collection from making memories.

and as for our memorial day? we slept in. played the Wii a ton (borrowed from alyssa's dad again). i think i raced about 12 races on mariokart in the last day … and i came in 12th place all but once. lol! the girls went swimming for about 5 minutes … the water was way too cold from the crappy weather we had this weekend. i worked on projects all weekend … i think i got them all done in time. we had a BBQ … chicken, salmon, and potatoes. we cleaned house. and watched a bunch of episodes of "H2O" … which is about the only show that has new episodes right now. lol! too bad it's the girls show! that's about it.

    hey…I think it’s your server that makes the pictures sharp…and only on the main page. I know when I click on them, they come up perfectly…not that sharp, edgy look.
    Sounds like you had fun. We had rain, thunder, lightning, tornado watches, thunderstorm and flood warnings…that was our entire weekend!
