I'm back from vacation and we had a great time. You do need a vacation from vacation to rest though. After I got home and unpacked, I took a nap. Poor Molly slept for 4 1/2 hours and did not wake when I got crackers out of a package and ate in the same room as her. It was a lot of walking and fresh air and staying up late. We, (meaning Molly and I), still got up at 6:30.  Not my choice, but she has to go out. Since it wasn't fenced I had to walk her and with all those wonderful new smells we walked a lot! I was able to get some new goodies at the stamp store so I was happy. We never turned on the tv or looked at any news. It was such a great treat.

This is a card we made at the SU class. I didn't put a sentiment on it yet since it could be used for many things. It is a telescope card and so easy to do. I'll be glad to get back into my normal groove and make some cards soon.

I'll be back to visiting as soon as I get laundry done and rested up. Be kind to one another.

What a pretty card! I really like those square layers and how perfectly you placed them! Sounds like you had a great vacation with no tv or news to take your attention away from enjoying yourself! That's such a good thing :)

Wonderful design and pretty colors. Glad you were able to get away and have a good time. I need a vacation from the vacation. lol It seems we always try to do too much. We've had nothing but trouble since we got back from ours.

This is so beautiful. You are making so many new technique cards, it just blows my mind away. It doesn't look easy! Love the colors you've chosen. So happy you had a great time, and no breathing problems I hope. Sounds like you & Molly need a good restup, and return to normal routines. It's good to get away, but also good to get back home. Always chores to catch up after you've been away. Take care, TFS & Hugs

Pretty card Brenda. And what a cool technique! Sounds like you had a lovely holiday. Always good to be home, though. :) Rest up and then have fun creating. xx

Hi Brenda,
so glad you had a great holiday.
Can't remember when we last went on our hols as we both don't drive now because of our eyes.
I love this wonderful card and your triple stamping technique.
The colours are wonderful too.
That shade of green goes so well with the purple.
Lots of crafty love. Jenny L.

Glad you got away Brenda and I hope you enjoyed yourself! Where did you go? Molly has a schedule and she was sticking to it vacation or not. lol Good for you both for going walking each morning. I have found that you do indeed need a vacation from a vacation. I guess that will just keep getting worse as we age. lol Not seeing the news or turning on the tv is good once in a while! I know the news gets on my nerves, but then when I don't watch, I miss something that has happened. Your card is just beautiful. I haven't did this technique in a long time and had forgotten all about it until I saw this card. Love it! Hugs, Brenda
