Betsy has a video for the new Make It Monday, she is using a stencil with an ombre background...go check it out!
I need some Easter cards and thought this would be a good one to start with...
Stamps & Dies: PTI Flower Favorites, Tulip time
stencil: MFT Wonky Chevron
Background Inks: PTI new leaf, simply chartreuse, spring moss, harvest gold
Flower & butterfly inks: simply chartreuse, winter wisteria, plum pudding, orange zest, pure poppy, summer sunrise
We just returned home from a three day volleyball tournament in Denver.
Ellie's coach arranged for a tour of University of Colorado in Boulder.
That is a beautiful city and awesome campus! I told Ellie I wouldn't mind visiting her in that town!
Ellies' team took third and won a bid for the National Tournament in Indianapolis this summer! This is the first time a team from our NW region has won a bid in a national tournament...we are so proud of that team.
I have a couple pictures to share, but right after the game, most of the team had to literally run out of the convention center and jump in a waiting taxi to get to the airport so they wouldn't miss their plane. Fortunately, we had a later flight scheduled, so we didn't have to run!
Ellie and Proud Mama
Assistant Coach (My husband!) and four girls who had later flights.
So proud of this team and happy they got the bid to go to Nationals!

Hurrah--good for them! If they're going to Indy, do they need a chaperone?! Indy's where I was born & I need to get back for a visit. Can't wait to meet you & Linda Tuesday, Colleen! I sent you my phone number, just in case. Want to e-mail me yours?
