Missing you...

Hello friend!

How is your Monday going?

It's a beautiful, sunshiny day here on the Oregon coast

today and I've been listening to the "music" of

my grandson's, and their friends,

playing outside all day.  :)

I love summertime!!

I have a new card to share with you today,

that is a bit of a detour from what I usually do, I think.

It doesn't have near the bling or the embellies that my cards

normally have, but I love how it turned out.  I hope you do, too!!

This digital image is one that comes from 

A Day for Daisies and is called "Bewildered B."

Her expression looks a bit sad to me, thus the sentiment.

*please click on the photos to enlarge*

She's so elegant looking and has a vintage feel to me,

 so I loved her, and couldn't wait to color her!

I used ribbon to form the ruffle for her dress and her hair

is so beautifully coiffed, that I thought adding the flower

to it would finish it off nicely.

I've got a card to share with you again today.

This precious image is one of Mo Manning's and is called

Hello!  I have a new card to share with you.

This digital image was drawn by Krista Smith

from Saturated Canary,

and is called "Hand Me Downs."

I love her sweet little dress and socks!

So adorable!!

I, also, added a cute little image

of bird carrying a letter.

I'm sorry, but at the moment I cannot

remember where it is from.

* click to enlarge *

The papers I used to create this card, were perfect, I think,

as there was a vintage bird cage imprinted on them.

So, I cut out the cage and layered it on the card

with dimensional dots.  I did the same with the

bird in flight.

"Sugar and Spice"

Hello there!

I want you to notice that I've put up another page

for you to look at, above, where the tab reads:

"Gallery:  Cards For Sale." 

After being asked, several times, if my cards were for sale

I decided to post the current cards I have in stock.

I probably should have done a Patriotic card

appropriate for July 4th, but didn't.

So let me wish you Happy July 4th!!  LOL

Yes, instead, it's another really "girly" card, with lots of 

pretties on it.  LOL  This sweet image is just too cute,

comes from Saturated Canary and is called "Baby Cakes!"
