Hanging in there....

'Tis the weekend, and it's going well and the weather is wonderful too!  We had fresh lobster yesterday...Father's Day special at the supermarket!  Friday, we were able to get together with my parents, taking them out to lunch and then to my daughter's for a visit.  Today, we are sure to have company, and then Monday we head to Toronto for a consult with another specialist.   All being well, we hope to make a day of it with lunch and supper out.  We are on a roll.....maybe!


So now for a card with this little cutie (Pole Dance) from Just Inklined.  I can think of a number of uses, but I chose to go with an encouragement card.  Once again I've coloured with copics and then most everything is distressed with a bit of DI.  I found the DP in my stash of scrapbooking papers, and then added some interest with some black stencil/doodling.  Added some coloured string to enhance the theme, and those circles are acrylic stickers that I've dressed up with stickles.

Dies used:  Nestabilities Labels Eighteen and Romantic Rectangles.

So if things are going a little rough for you right now, take heart from this card.....hopefully it will make you smile.  Thanks for visiting.
