Thoughts of a Grasshopper

I had another card in mind but I found a scrap of paper on my desk from the tin last week and it was the perfect size for the front of a card so I used it up. A quick photo before cooking dinner. My daughter, in a very nice way, reminded me of the time to get me thinking about dinner. She commented that it seemed later than it was because her dad and brother were home when she got home from school. I asked her what time it was and was told 6:30. That beats "What's for dinner?"

I missed a day or two of stamping this week finishing up a book that I've been reading way too long, but I'll get to that in a minute. The first card is made with the stamp set A Rose is a Rose. Every time I use this set, I'm reminded of how similar it is to Cottage Rose that was retired several years ago. Cottage Rose was one of the first stamp sets I bought when I discovered Stampin' Up! I took a close-up of the rose card so you could actually see the "thank you". I like the circle piercing. I used a Coke glass that my husband came home from a trip with. It was the perfect size.
