A hop, skip and a jump! :)

 

Happy Weekend!

 

The 3 Musketeers are back again {the 9th of every month!}

with an adorable jump rope girl by Nellie Snellen.

Jeanette was our hostess and sent us this image to work with,

which is a new company for me as I hadn't heard of it before.

I do love how fun and whimsical it is.

 

Tom Stoppard said "If you carry your childhood with you,

you will never become older."

 

Isn't it wonderful when you can spend your day doing something

that brings you back to the 'good ol days' :) 

Growing up mostly in Europe,

 my brother and I spent our childhoods making the world our playground

and that's something I've tried to instill in my children as well.

I'm blessed that we've remained so close and have fun together ~

they know that I'm the first one in whenever there is

 a mud pie to be made, a bike to ride, sidewalk chalk to draw,

underdoggin' the swing to be the absolute highest!

Though somehow the jump ropes always ended up

 being Tarzan ropes in our house :)

 

After looking at the image,

I went in search of my childhood/play

papers and remembered an old mat stack I have had forever ..

it was a perfect match.

The bright colors, the whimsical papers ...

and a simple card design with buttons, of course!

 

I try to create the inside of my cards with the scraps of dsp

I have leftover so this card inside is blank and simple :)

 

You can see what Barb and Jeanette have made with this

same image by stopping by their blogs, too!

 

For all the moms and grandmas and moms at heart,

I sent you blessings and wishes

for a most wonderful, playful, carefree Mother's Day  ♥

 

Big hugs, Bigger Blessings!
