Just Us Girls 

My son, Brad fulfilled a long time dream of climbing to the summit at Mt. Rainier this past week.  

Here are a few pictures.  His cousin, Shawn was supposed to go with him, but pulled something in his neck and was unable to go.  So Ramie, his wife of two weeks, said she would try it.  She is a great hiker but had not trained for it.  She made it to Camp Muir, 10,000 ft, and tried that night at midnight to go.  That is the time they go in the dark and can only see a couple of feet in front of them.  Scary....  About one hour into it she had to turn and go back to Muir.  She said it was too hard.  Two guys also turned around.  We are so proud of both of them, Brad for making it and Ramie for even trying.

 Brad is on the right

Plus we are dealing with trying to figure what to do with my dad who will be 97 in August.  He needs more care and needs either someone all day or an Adult Family Home.  That has weighed hard on me and my sister.  Hard to focus on card making.  We have a couple of people working on things for us.  Maybe you could keep us in your prayers that we are able to find the right solution for him....

This month is flowers and I can't pass this up.  I love flower cards.

Altenew Beautiful Day in CP inks.  Her inks are so amazing.  These were stamped just one time and you get a perfect image every time.  Well almost, sometime not, because of operator error.

Well after several tries, I finally was able to come up with a card to post.   Kept getting too much  spray on the butterflies, so decided to spay the panel first and then die cut the butterflies.

ColourQ #344 & Creative with Stamps #3

 

I do not do masculine cards very often but it is getting close to Father's Day and 

CWS is asking for masculine cards this month

  

And I thought the colors for ColourQ fit perfectly for this kind of card.
