Lloyd went golfing this morning with his nephew and his friend. I was left alone to fill the hours on my own - something I enjoy doing. Anticipating just such 'me' time, I brought with me a card-making kit (sort of like portable scrapbooking) and I sat down and spent a couple nice quiet hours creating greeting cards. I also took several breaks to play Scrabble and read a Dean Koontz novel on my iPad.
Here's the finished product:
I like making cards - it's a great way to use up scrapbooking scraps. Trouble is, once I've made them I hate to give them away.
It got up to 108F today (about 42-43C) so we spent some time in the pool this afternoon when it got shady in the back yard. So nice!
All in all a lovely peaceful day in Paradise.

You're lucky your back yard can be shaded when it is so hot in the afternoon. Swimming is much nicer. I don't dare go in for a while since I got so burned last week.
You are really having the tough life now - lol - looks like fun!
Your cards are adorable! I've been making a lot of cards lately too, I like to have a lot on hand so I'm not racing around like crazy on someones birthday. I'll do a post in a few days with some of mine. See you in a few!
I don't have an email address for you so I'm posting this reply in your comments.
I've only been making my own cards since last Christmas but I've been loving it. I don't scrapbook though. I don't even print out my pictures anymore, my computer photo files are in overload.
I hope you're not getting "fancy" today. I'm not, too hot. Consider yourself lucky that I'll be wearing a bra and shoes, that's about as fancy as I will be getting. I'll probably be in shorts.
Paradise Bakery at Litchfield and Bell at 11:30, right?
Your cards are lovely. So are you and Holly gonna make me look schlumpy when I'm not creative and scrappy? Don't you do it. You know how fragile I am. Don't worry about recognizing us. There's kind of radar that bloggers have for one another...We'll have fun. See you soon.
Loving the cards! I made the same ones this aft!
It went much faster than usual this time! Great thing to do on a rainy afternoon.
