Happy Cards for a Happy Day…

Yesterday was such a lovely Spring day. 

The sun was shining, the birds were singing.

My teenage son wanted to go out with me for dinner!

You know… a “Happy” kind of day.

So a good day deserves some “Happy Day” cards.

Their Special Day…

Cathi & Brian #1

Cathi & Brian #2

One of the Big surprises of the summer was the wedding of my sweet niece and her new husband.

I am so happy for them.  They make a great couple and they look so cute together. 

My last design team assignment for The Paper Forest was Simple Stories:  The Story of Us.

Once I saw the collection I knew exactly what pictures I wanted to use.

I appreciate my niece sharing her photo’s and allowing me to scrapbook her special day.
