Happy Monday!

Our screened in porch is finished! How wonderful it is to sit outside and grill, read, talk, swing and NOT having to swat at flies and mosquitoes constantly!

I made a butterfly card this morning using some of our screen scraps. I cut out the butterflies using Cricut Cartridge Walk In My Garden (blackout feature). The card is very rough right now. It needs some more finishing touches, but I think you'll get the idea from the photo.


I also made a 4th of July card. I cut out 1 inch squares using Cricut Cartridge Plantin Schoolbook for the tablecloth. I cut out ovals with that cartridge too, then cut them in half for the watermelon. I just drew in the ants. The sky is plain so I'm still brainstorming how to make that look a little better.

Thanks for all the comments over the weekend! I have a lot of catching up to do with all you guys! Have a fun day!!

  2. How cute and I love the little ants! Glad to hear your porch is finished and you are already enjoying it. Did you have that sweet tea for Lizzy and me?

  3. LOL! Yes, I did in fact have a glass of sweet iced tea and made a toast to my blogger friends, Lizzy & Mary, while on the porch. My husband laughed about that. I told him I had a California friend here in spirit and Mary too... didn't know where to say you were from, Mary.
