Happy Anniversary - Stamping 411 Sketch Challenge 200

I hope everyone had a wonderful Easter.  The weather sure cooperated, and I was able to get my outdoor furniture set up on the patio - and even spent some time out there - in between washing windows and curtains.  My son, who came from Ottawa, helped with the heavy furniture.  We went to my other son & his fiance for Easter dinner (I cooked the chicken and made the stuffing and gravy), and finally got some pictures of the two of them - who recently got engaged.
Today is more window washing - its sunny out there now, but rain is predicted later in the day - and for the rest of the week.  I did sit down and make a card before I have to get to work.
Here is the sketch challenge from Stamping 411 that you can find here
