I am home once again from our trip and I am totally exhausted, we did a lot in those few short days and it was terrific seeing family again. Now I am trying to catch up on things here plus we are having Vacation Bible School at church this week so I am running on very little fumes. It has been a long time since I have had to run after a group of 3 and 4 year olds and I am not getting any younger, but they are so cute to watch. We have a couple of new kids in our group so that is a good thing.
I am working on catching up on visiting everyone's blogs once again, it sure doesn't take long to get behind does it. Hope you all are enjoying a wonderful summer so far, especially since we are now officially into the season :)
Thanks so much for taking the time to stop by and say Hello,
Connie

This is such a sweet, sweet card! Love the die cuts, so elegant!
I love that beach stamp set from Stampin' Up -- it makes the perfect anniversary card! So pretty!
Oh my word how sweet is that!? Great card Connie!
I like the softness and romantic (but not goooshie:) look.
Great color-work friend! Hugs, Karen O

Your card is lovely :-) my daughter just celebrated her 11 year anniversary... where does the time go right? lol
In charge of a bunch of 3 and 4 year olds? Are you mad???? lol... but yes, sooooooooo darn cute to look at... just like little kitties and puppies... but then they run amuck, drag things around, scream eiy-eiy-eiy... is it nap time yet? lol Good luck! lol
Awesome! Now that's an oldie but a goodie stamp that I haven't inked up in years ... thanks for wonderful inspiration and a beautiful creation!
This is such a sweet card, Connie, beautiful! Enjoy your time with the kids! xx
Oh, what a joy for your daughter and son-in-law! Congratulations to them :)
The card you made is perfect and I love what Karen said about it not being "goooshie." :)
Have a blessed week. Love and hugs!
A lovely sentiment and sweet stamp image, Connie, I'm sure your daughter and son in law will love it.
Hope you have a good week with the children at your VBS.
A sweet card, just right for a young couple, and a beautiful fresh blue.
Hope you can fill your tank up soon, Connie, once you get the chance.
Three and four year olds can be pretty lively!
Our schools are not on vacation here for a long time.
Do something nice for yourself... A bit of pampering!

This stamp is one of those timeless old favorites, and you colored it so beautifully. You really got that soft, beachy look to it. Pretty paper on the card, too. Good to have you back and I'm glad you had a nice time. It sure is easy to get behind. If I miss one day of visiting blogs it takes forever to catch up. And I don't want to miss anything!
Quite lovely in coloring and design!! I know they loved it!! Good luck w/ the little ones at VBS!
Congratulations, Connie. Your daughter must have been delighted. It's such a warm, cozy, loving scene, and the soft watercolors are especially lovely with the image. Hope you are enjoying a great week! hugs, de
So pretty Connie! Beautiful coloring and yay for 5 years!
Ah ain't it grand the way things work together like this Connie, the stamp you've wanted just enough found like that. I love this card it he colours all go together so very well indeed.
And may Gid bless each those 3 and 4 year olds and may they always remember the truths they learnt.
Well done! Thanks for the inspiration,
