Triple the Sketch 17, CPS 76 & Home @ last

I'm home!!
For those that noticed me gone:)
I'm home & missing Cashier's terribly.
The weather was PERFECT!
I mean PERFECT!
The highs were mid 70's & the lows were low 60's, high 50's.
NO humidity!!
Did I say PERFECT?
We want to move there so bad, but dang is it an expensive community!!
Here are a few pictures I took.
Some are of the golf course we played & you may or may not be able to tell the high elevations.
The butterflies..........TONS of them & boy were they gorgeous.
We also went horse-back riding & I was so proud of Ashlyn who rode by herself.
The waterfall is from a boat ride we took on Lake Glenville.

We'd love to go back in the Fall, so I might see about booking another week.
Just gotta see how many pennies I have to save between now & then.
The first full day we were there, I stayed at the cabin with Camryn.
We went into Cashiers for some shopping & another lady told me about a great scrapbook store 40-mins away.
You bet I made the drive & boy was it worth it.
I haven't been into a real scrapbook store in over a year.
I was in heaven & it was HUGE.
So much stuff to look at, but I was good & only bought things I knew I would use, which included some older line papers.
That afternoon, while everyone else was napping, I made a couple of cards.
The first is using Triple the Sketch 17.
I bought an 8x8 Cosmo Cricket "Hello Sunshine" pad.
Love these papers & a great size for cards.
The butterfly was cut from some KI Memories lace paper.
I adhered 2 together, then used Doodlebug Flock(red),
And wrapped DMC floss around the middle.

This second card is uing CPS #76. It's extremely simple, but I like it.

Trying to catch-up on lots of other stuff.
Luckily, I did all the laundry while we were in NC, so I'm good there,
but school & dance starts Monday for Ashlyn & Thursday for Camryn.
I started cleaning out their closets before we left & their rooms are a mess.
I still need to do some clothes shopping for Camryn....she has to wear dresses
And I have a birthday card to make for my fil, plus 60 wedding invitations!
So, not sure how much I'll be able to blog for the remainder of this week.
Once school starts, I'll have more time on my hands.
Happy Hump Day!!
