Perfect life

Hiya folks!!!

It is absolutely gorgeous in 

my neck of the woods, 

even with the rain. 

Trees and flowers are blooming, 

our vegetable garden is planted, 

our pool is up and working--

enjoying, it folks, really am!

Despite some mishaps this past week

with my MIL and hospital, it is all good!

(yes, she is finally back at home--and seems good.)

To all my American friends, 

Wishing you all a very safe, and fun!

memorial weekend!

Unfortunately, I did not have time

to make a new one..too much

drama happening.

But it is all good, right??

Just Because---proper challenge!

Happy Wednesday!

Yes, a post on Wednesday---

Imagine that!

Well, folks, I made a boo boo last Saturday

with my entry for the challenge. 

I had actually my card for next week's challenge 

instead of this week's challenge.

Yep, switched the cards. oye!

Thankfully, I was able to make a card for this week's

challenge---with the proper image.

Seriously I have no idea where my head was?

Super Scraps Saturday--You are the only one

Happy Saturday!

I hope you are all well, and

have not caught any nasty 

viruses out there.

My daughter has shared with me

her cold from the week before, 

and it seems to have invited

some of its friends over.

Lovely!

I love my daughter to the

moon and beyond, but

there was no need to share the 

germs with me.

ugh! Wipes me out.

Anyways.

New challenge!

woohoo!

HIMCR #250 - Super Scraps Saturday!

And the sponsor:

A day for Daisies!

The giveaway is a 

$12 Gift Certificate to 

A Day for Daisies!

The Design Team were given the

chance to choose an image

(one of the many perks on being

the design team!)

and here is what I created

I had her printed on red paper--bright

red paper 'borrowed' from

my daughter's stash---shhh!!

Fussy cut, and glued onto white cardstock.

I lightly colored her flesh with

Prismacolor colored pencils.

The script background is

created with a Kaisecraft script clear stamp, 

inked with Ranger Arvhival ink.

Gold Stickles were added to accentuate.

The black cardstock is my last piece

of BoBunny double dot cardstock :(

The bling is also from stash--Teresa Collins, I believe.

The gold swoosh is from a die cut exchange. 

as is the butterfly.

The sentiment is from My Mind's Eye.

Et le voila! mes amies!

I adore this gal---

I have also enjoyed the styles of eras gone..

except the 80s.

Ohmigoodness...wow!

LOL.

That is it for me.
