Mimi

Hello Stampin' Friends! What an absolutely GORGEOUS weekend and I got most of what was on my plan done! All the while squiring around an international visitor as well!

This is another simple card - that's just me - simple! I'd rather have a card to send than eek out hours on end with a small throughput and miss the occasion or have toBUY a card for the occasion.

My littlest granddaughter (for about another 5 weeks anyway) is the sweetest little sweetie. Her name is Iyla, she's 2 and because she is in the military with her Dad, sometimes she and her Mom (our 2nd daughter) come and stay with us. What a joy they are! Well Iyla has a stuffed lambie which she sleeps with (along with the lovey - blankie) and she calls her Mimi. I think that is Iyla-ese for Lamb-ME - get it? Me-Me - Mimi.

Well, Iyla is stationed at Fort Hood right now and I wanted her to know Grammy misses her, so I made her a Mimi card. The ready-made lambie embellishment is from K & Company, the dp paper from My Mind's Eye and the plain from Bazzill, the sentiment is Papertrey Ink; a little Cuttlebugging on the plain as well. It's a pretty standard Artha card.

Iyla's mom, our daughter Carissa is the most creative young mom! She has degrees in journalism and advertising/marketing and you should see HER blog (here's the link - http://domiciliary-artillery.blogspot.com/) and the stuff she creates for and with Iyla! What a gifted and talented young Mom! I am so proud of her!

Hope your weekend has been perfect too!

TTFN!
