So HAPPY for YOU!

Hello there!

I have a card to share with you today.

This image comes from "A Day for Daisies" 

and is titled "A kiss for sis."

My youngest son, Jeff, and his wife, Jessica,

blessed me with my 8th grandchild

(bringing that to 6 grandsons now) in early May!

A niece is due to have her first child very soon,

so needless to say, perhaps, but
I'm in baby mode right now!  Ha!

Happily Ever After....

I know it's not June and the traditional

time for weddings, but I was in the mood

to make a wedding card, so here you go...

This sweet little image is from

A Day For Daisies and is called

"Dreaming of her wedding day."

It depicts a young girl wearing an over-sized wedding gown

and dreaming of her special day.  I think it's

a perfect image for a wedding or bridal shower card.

With Love

Don't you just love it when a child

brings you a handful of flowers?  

I love the look of sheer delight

and love in their eyes!!

I think that's why I was drawn to this
digi image from A Day for Daisies,

because it captures that wonderful moment

so beautifully and reminds me of my children 
and grand blessings! :)

The image is called "Look what I brought you"

and you can find it here.

You can see that the inside of my card

mirrors the outside and that I used the tag

for a place to add sentiment.

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.
