Just Us Uninterrupted

Hello, did you have a nice weekend? It was very hot here... just starting to feel like summer in southern Ohio-- we've been very lucky around here. Today Brian & I braved the heat and took the girls to Kings Island (our local amusement park)... the hot day really worked to our benefit because it wasn't very crowded & the lines were short. I just love the days that are "family days" as the girls call it... or just us uninterrupted... no cells, no checking email... just us. I imagine that life with out cell phones (even though it is somewhat unimaginable now) was sweet.... can you imagine uninterrupted family time all the time? lol... I know that thought might just drive some over the edge. But the thought is noble.

Ok, so lets talk cards... I've been very busy creating many cards for many things that are upcoming... all of which I can not share here yet (yeah, I know you probably hear a lot of that lately with CHA coming up). So here is one of may favorites, as soon as I made it back in January, I wanted to share (but couldn't) so I'm happy to do so now. Its simple and elegant & could be made into a card for really any occasion.
You can find this card in Paper Craft's July/August Issue. It is a sweet issue... and did you know that with every issue you can download free patterns from the issue and sentiments? I'm loving the sentiments this month, you can find them HERE.

Well, I hope you have a good start to the week. Don't forget that Spellbinder's Get the Knowledge! Blog Frenzy is still going on... there will be a new die templates shared every day so don't miss it:)

Cute card!

I must be a bit older than you cause I remember life without cell phones, computers...all those things that keep us all plugged in. You had plenty of quiet moments to enjoy what's around you, you could stand in line at the post office and not listen to one guy's business call and another gal's chat with her friend. Things were a little quieter then and a tad slower paced! I miss that! But ask me to give up my iPad and I'd put up a fuss! ;)

I love this card! You're right--simple and elegant and it can be used for several other occasions...

Thanks for sharing...

And yes, I think it's a noble idea to cut off the interruptions... :)

Very cute Windy!! Love the pattern.
We live where cell service is limited, so it's nice to know we can relax and know no one can catch up with us.

Awesome card. Love your name, Windy. Did not like my name until I was older as Evette was not a usual name when I was growing up. Now there are so many great names. I am into simplicity, so your card is right up my alley. This card indeed could be used for just about any occasion for sure. Thanks for sharing. ekc
