Holiday Fun

Hi there.  I thought I might squeeze in a quick post.  It's been a mite busy lately, but we are getting through it.  Another hospital appointment today, but hopefully things will go well.


I am trying really hard to use some items that I've had buried away!.  This is a lovely CC Designs stamp that I won some time back from Lacey at Stamp and Create, in her weekly draw.  This image brings to mind my granddaughter....she had a growth spurt this year, and her legs seem so long in those little short shorts.  Oh, to be young again!

I've coloured with copics, adding some background for a scene.  The DP is from my stash, but I've added some white flourish stamping and edging.  I decided the pretty organza bow would look even better with a few tiny gems. (found these ages ago....actually they are for hair!)

Lots of fun challenges for this card...be sure to check them out!

  3. Such a sweet and pretty card Joyce, love the summery feel to this. We have at last got some sunshine. The temperatures went up to 28 today, not bad considering it has been raining for the last couple of months.
    Hope your hospital appointment went well. I often think of you both and hope all is progressing positively.
    Take care.
