Birthday Bunny

OK, so I lied. I told you I wouldn't be posting for the rest of the weekend. This nasty virus/cold/whatever it is has grabbed on in this house and I am now nursing two sick kids, John and myself! John is feeling better than the rest of us and went to the beach alone today to do a little fishing and just called with a report....36" 14lb Striped Bass...yippeee...Striper Cakes for dinner!

I feel like I have not been outside in WEEKS and am going stir crazy but Susie has asthma and when she gets sick I worry about her having a full blown attack so I don't want to go anywhere without her and don't want to push her. So home I am on a gorgeous, sunny day. I could just cry...really. Soooo, since I am stuck in the house I decided to check out some challenges online and instantly loved the new sketch up at Creative Scrappers this morning!

I have been meaning to scrap this photo of Susie and Johnny for a long time and keep moving it around on my desk. When I decided this was the photo I would use and went to look for papers to coordinate, I remembered that I just got an order that had some yummy Bella Blvd. papers. I LOVE this paper company. I'm slowly, but surely collecting each line she has and so far, have not found a piece that I don't like! The blue stripe, flower and green flowered papers are all from the Flirty line. I added the hot pink cardstock that I embossed with a Sizzix floral embossing folder. The flowers are Dazzlers by Petaloo, the journaling spot is Jillibean Soup, the chip letters are Basic Grey and the number stickers are ProvoCraft. Once I pulled the papers out, this layout FLEW together. I LOVE when this happens!

I'm going to get out of my scraproom for now.....maybe even just sit on the front porch for a little bit. I am feeling a Vitamin D deficiency...I miss my friend, the sunshine!!
