Happy Hump Day Everyone!! I hope you are all enjoying your week and nice weather. It has been beautiful here!! Not for long though....the hurricane is on its way....Soon it will be rain, rain and more rain...Oh well I have enjoyed the weather thus far in the low 70's with sunshine and almost no humidity. Gorgeous!!

Anywho...today I have a couple cards to share with you. A couple of weeks ago I went to visit my dear sister Jeanne and met up with my dear friend Grace!!! We had a blast!! I took my first ever Stampin Up Class!! What fun!! For our card we made a side stair step card using the Fabulous Florals and Curly Cute stamp sets and the Peach Parfait Designer series pack from SU. The flowers are stamped in Old Olive, Daffodil Delight and Peach Parfait.
