A BIRTHDAY CARD....with a stamped background

what did you think of the smithsonian exhibit photos? we had a great time but there are so many things to see we did not have time for it all. another visit will be schedule :P
we also visited the botanic garden. i have a few pics of that too for another day, wink-wink.

for now i will show you a card i made for a friend. i stamped the background and added subtle touches of glitter (stickles), a border and butterflies from martha and another clear stamp for the sentiment.

Happy Birthday
4.25 x 5.5 inches tall
i even did some sewing, lol.
so simple and so cute.
now, go and take your stamps out and try it. give the cricut a day break, lol.

see u soon.

Daily Life:
we are taking our son back to BOSTON this week. what a heartache! ;(
GARDENING is not doing too well. plants are in a temporary spot. rabbits are very hungry. i will have to move some of them to another spot asap.

here are some pics:






this last one is russian sage. i thought i killed it when moved it but not: it is resuscitating. 
YAY!

ok, this is it for now.
see U around!
and thanks for stopping by because i do not feel i am talking to myself, lol.
