Grandma's Birthday, class, and fun...

I have to confess...I have been so overwhelmed with our schedule at home recently and I forgot about my Grandma's birthday. Shame on me! On Wednesday I went to the market to pick up soup and as soon as I wrote the date on the check it dawned on me....it's Grandma's birthday! I feel terrible that my card is going to be a little late (she is always so delighted to see a handmade card). I know she'll still love it.

When I was deciding how to create her card I knew it had to be bright and colorful. Grandma hates dark colors, especially black. She loves colors! (That's such an awesome quality about her!) I recently seen a tutorial on this flower and thought it was cute.....

Then a fun bird on the inside...
And some colorful rub-ons for the envelope. In the past I would stamp on the envelope, but I really like the rubon's for the envelope. I'll have to remember that for next time.

I'd like to add more teaching experience to my crafting resume. So I created this picture frame for a class project at our local ACMoore (Temple). If you are interested, the class is Tuesday March 30th from 6 to 8. You have to register at the store.
And to brighten my day.... This picture cracks me up! What is with that face, LOL! Oh, I love her so much!
