April's On the Move

I cannot believe that today is April 8. Time is just flying by! Where do the hours go? I know I'm busy, but the weird thing is that before I retired, my days seem to pass so slowly! Now that I have the luxury of doing as I please, when I wish, the days are just zipping by! I was much busier when I was teaching. After 32 years in education, I am so loving scheduling my own day!

One such activity of choice is the card I have to share with you today. I love this stamp! It is just the sweetest image. Here it is:

Lots of pop dots were used to elevate the center element. The plaid papers are not that orangy gold color, but a sweet sunny, butter colored yellow..

This is the upper inside of the card with poem I created.

This is the lower portion of the interior:

I just so love that bunny stamp!

Thank you so much for visiting! I hope you will come back again when you're in the neighborhood! I'll make us lunch!

XO,
Chris
