I'm still smitten with Verve's latest release, Better Together. Simply adore the sentiments and mix of fonts Julee has put together for this set. Hmmm, hmmmm good :)
A scrap of Basic Grey paper was the springboard for my card. Haven't used these flowers from Bloom and Grow and the matching Floral Circle dies for what seems forever so it was good to dig them out again. Love the Dreamy Leaves dies which match the leaf images from Dream Big, and I just "had" to use the heart die from the Scalloped Trim Trio set as I never get enough of it. Managed to find a peachy coloured button in my stash to finish things off.

We had another very wet weekend, and it was definitely not fun weather for the soccer tournament my son's team was in. Four games in two days in the pouring rain is not my idea of a good time! The boys are okay as they are running around playing and keeping warm, but as for the spectators, let's just say it is far from ideal. Oh the "joys" of being a soccer mom - not! Life and times when you live on the West Coast LOL!
Kids are off for two weeks for Spring Break and I am looking forward to spending time with them, as well as enjoying a slower schedule, not to mention being able to sleep in on days I'm not working! Now all we need is the sun to show up!
Have a great day and enjoy the sketch!
