Hello friends. What is going on in your world? I hope you are finding time to craft. It is starting to get hotter here in Southern CA; but I hope it isn't permanent or we are in trouble. I think it is supposed to cool down again next week. I prefer the cooler fall temperatures; so I can get out and ride my bike. I really do need the exercise. LOL!
I would like to share a fabulous new Ching-Chou Kuik "Endless Waiting" Digi with you. I loved her instantly and had to use her right away. Our April blog challenge is "Under The Sea". What a fabulous challenge! I was excited; so I could use some of my CTMH dies; plus others I have of shells, etc. I hope you enjoy it.
Path of Positivity comment - I created this for my daughter to give her faith and hope for her future. She is going through some tough times right now and the title says it all for her - "Endless Waiting". She needs this card. It may look like just a birthday card; but it is much more. I see faith and hope in the face and gestures of this digi. I also see strength, power and beauty when I look at her. I want my daughter to feel that as well. Everything may be swirling around her; but there is a peace in the moment.
