you are my sunshine

Did everyone have a good weekend?  Ours was nice.  My dad and step-mom came up to go camping with two of my sisters and their families so we drove out on Saturday to see everyone.  It was nice to see everyone even if it was only for a few hours.  My husband is using our trailer house to live in during the week for work so we couldn't go camping.  I think this is going to end up being one of those years where we don't get to go as often as we like, but that's the way it goes.  Last time we went camping, I did miss the glider chair for rocking the baby to sleep, though.  Well, enough jabbering, how about a card?

I just love this cute image from Stampavie called Bobby and Me.  It's perfect for boy cards.  We don't have a dog, but I was still thinking of my son when I was creating this card.  Something about the image just reminds me of my son. 

I colored the image with copic markers that coordinate with the patterned papers I chose from Basic Grey's Max and Whiskers line.  After die cutting the image, I left it in the nestability die and sponged around the edges with some orange chalk ink.  The sentiment is from a CTMH set.

Time to get the littlest one ready for bed.  Have a great week and thanks for stopping by!
