MIA this Weekend...

So sorry I've been missing in action a few days, it's been a busy weekend. In case you're curious it started out Friday (my ds's b-day) attending a Chicago White Sox game, Sox are in 1st place at this point in time. What fun we had. Saturday was spent doing errands & laundry & such... yuck. Yesterday was my dd's b-day so we had to spend a good part of the day with her, although she's at the ever so cool (not) age that would rather be with friends than the oh so embarrassing "parents"... bet some of you can relate??? Anyway my apologies but I had hardly no time to create anything this weekend. I do however have a card I made last week to share:

The inside:

I made this card for one of the ladies at work (my regular customer) for her grandson's b-day later this month. He's mowing lawns this summer so she asked me to use a lawnmower if I could, well of course in this ever growing papercraft industry we love so much you can find a lawnmower. The one I found is a Jolee's sticker, cute huh?

Before I say good bye for today I have to name my winner from last week's Character Cafe blog hop:

Hope you enjoyed what I had to share today, hope to be back again before Friday's Character Cafe Challenge this week! Thanks for coming by!
