Edwin all Red, White & Blue





Happy Sunday to all my blogger friends,

Is everyone having a good weekend? Mine has been very good and perfect weather. We had another party for my son yesterday; it was a really fun time. However, I am trying to be good about it but I am very sad as he is moving to Idaho Falls on Tuesday. Another one thousands of miles away. My friends keep telling me just think another place to vacation..... 

I made this darling Edwin card last night. I used paper from Authentique - Glory (love it) and I cut tags to add dimension and interest to the card. How handsome and patriotic does Edwin look? As we would say at work when we program and have a session that covers more than one topic in that session a twofer or threefer; well this is a threefer. It is for two challenges and Vegas!!!! And yahoo all those cards are finished, boxed and ready to go. Now I can play with all my new stamps.

Here is a close-up of this handsome guy!



And here is the recipe:
Magnolia Stamp - Graduation Edwin
Copic Markers

Happy 4th of July!
