Happy Grandma & Grandpa's Day

In Poland, we celebrate Grandma's Day on January 21st and Grandpa's Day on January 22nd. Since Daniel is still a bit young to create his own art for his Babcia i Dziadek (Grandma & Grandpa in Polish), I stepped up to the task and created a card for them. Hope they like it. It's an easel card.

Sentiment: LOTV
Coloring: Copics (BG13, BG15, BG18, BG23,W1, W3, W5, E21, E33, E35, E37)

So we had a really rainy, cold weather over the weekend, not usual weather for an early Fall in Northern Virginia. We were supposed to be camping this past weekend but had to call it off due to all the rain and temperatures dropping to upper 40s during the day! Brrr. But that gave me a chance to stay home and work on some cards :)) Here is another one I managed to finish this weekend:
