Happy Thursday, everyone!  How can it be Thursday already?!  I had a few free minutes to stamp yesterday, so I made a thank-you card for a customer using Rita’s  Freshly Made Sketches sketch:

Rita always has wonderful sketches!  I just love this new Strawberry Slush color featured on this particular Quatrefancy DP:

I mixed it with a couple of the other new In Colors, Pistachio Pudding and Crisp Cantaloupe, to make my 4 1/4” square card.  The banners were stamped with images from Mosaic Madness, and the circular element is from A Round Array and Mosaic Madness.  The bird image is from Animal Talk!  And of course, the inside features the corresponding sentiment:

A perfect sentiment for a sweet customer!

We are all suffering from spring colds and allergies, Cassidy included.  Plus, we are all trying to “encourage” her to potty train!  After a particularly trying morning, and a little 15-minute meltdown, I took her out for a swing because it was just too nice of a day to stay inside.  We didn’t make it too long:

I took her out, rocked her on the porch rocker for about two minutes and she was out like a light!

Poor Cassidy she looks completely wiped out.........wish I could just nod off like that.

Now look at this...making me regret not having this paper!!! Such fabulous details, LeAnne!! Love the embossing! Those pictures of Cassidy are too sweet. I love the heavy eyelids (potty training really is exhausting after all)!

Great, cheerful card. Love the combination of colors & papers. Look at it this way LeAnne - once they're potty trained, they want to stop at every public bathroom they see. She WON'T graduate high school in diapers!!
