“My mother always used to say: The older you get, the better you get, unless you’re a banana.” —Rose (Betty White)

Make My Monday #218 Use Your Patterned Paper 

I have had a busy two days!

Sunday was the Doubles Crib Tournament at the Wild North Brewery!

I was Kalen's partner, and we won two and lost two. Then we went out for supper after. Was a great day and a lot of fun!

Yesterday my mom had a physiotherapy appointment. Her car wouldn't start. She doesn't go anywhere for long periods of time, so her battery goes dead. I took her to her appointment, out for lunch, then we went to Bingo. Didn't win a thing, but it was a good day!

She had lunch out with a friend today, so about 7 am I put the battery charger on her car. When she was ready to leave at 11, it was charged!

Tomorrow's my morning at the Tuck Shop. Then maybe coffee with a friend! 

Been warm, melting and raining. Sump pumps inside and outside have been running. I'm pretty sure it's not Spring yet! 

Made 3 cards today from 'stuff' off my desk! I can see light at the end of the tunnel! OK, we all know there's no end, but I'm not 'moving' things. (I have a big desk!) They're kind of contained in a tray in front of my computer. Been working on those and a bin. Or 2. Or 3! 

I'd say I wasn't going to stamp anything new until everything is used up, but I finished a card last night that I worked on for 2 days. New stamps and dies! It's a disease! My name is Gail, and I'm a Craftaholic!

Better go!

Talk to ya later!

Stay safe!

I like the design on this card and your polka dot hearts are delightful. We all know how the camera can change an image so colours don't look true. Happens to me all the time. Using twine adds something special. Thanks for joining us at Cardz 4 galz, Johanna DT

Me again. I'm glad you were able to combine the C4Galz and MMM challenges. The polka dot patterned paper is a wonderful backdrop for the die cut hearts. Thanks for playing along with us at Make My Monday. I hope you'll play along with us again soon. Sue - DT
