Fusion: Rainbow Birds

The oldest birdie in our family turned 94 this month!  Gram  still does well physically - takes no medication at all -  but having a conversation with her is like falling down the rabbit hole - you never know what to expect.  On the plus side she is very chipper and happy most of the time. In this photo she is looking at her favorite gift - a photo album of Will.  Every time she opens it is like the first time. She reads all the captions and oohs and ahhhs over that cute little face.  It is the first thing she shows me now when I visit every day- I have the book memorized - but I am delighted that she enjoys it so much!

Fun sketch and fun colors this week at Fusion - hope you join us!

The retro sketches at Cas(e) this Sketch are such fun - especially if you have already made a card using it waaaaay back when!  I am still on my journey to 35 graduation cards for my daughter and this sketch worked perfectly for a rainbow of tossed caps!   I managed two of these so I have  ONLY 23 to go!  

It has been a beautiful Memorial Day weekend - two parades, cookouts and lots of time in the sunshine.  Miss E walked in a parade with her T-Ball team and then settled in to watch the rest of it from the sidelines.

Here is my card from the original sketch post back in October of 2015.

And the sketch.....

Time to Shine......FMS389

Oh that new little grandson of mine shines for sure!  That little Willy Bear is a charmer and this photo makes me laugh every time I look at it.......but not because of him.  Does anyone else think that E.T. has snuck up behind him and is ready to poke him with that magic shining finger?  What else could it be?  Honest my thumb is not that long.......still laughing...

These sweet flowers and sentiment are from a soon to be available set from Stampin' Up! called Daisy Lane.  Worked perfectly for Narelle's great sketch this week at Freshly Made Sketches! Hope you join us!
