Hello friends. It is still upper 70's here in Southern CA; but that beats 112 degrees any day. LOL! I hope everyone is doing well. I am trying to get back into the swing of things after a much needed vacation.
One of my granddaughters, Gabrielle had another baby boy yesterday, Luka Robert. He is so adorable and very tiny. They went home from the hospital today. I wish I could have been there with her; but she delivered right away. Her mother, Jenny, drove all night to get there today. She had two of her other children with her for the trip. She lives in FL now and Gabrielle still lives in MO; so it was quite a drive. Everything went well. Both mom and baby are fine.
It is time for another Ching-Chou Kuik Inspirational Post; with the topic of "Use yellow or orange or both." I am using Ching-Chou Kuik "Heart of Spring". I know I should probably be creating winter or Christmas cards; but I just can't do it yet. LOL! I am using one of the new "Whimsy Paper Fundamental paper packs" for all the papers on this card. This year's Paper Fundamentals are so versatile and I love them.
Using CTMH Whimsy Paper Fundamentals; which are on sale this month.

ReplyDeleteThis is such a lovely image and you have coloured it beautifully. I like how you decorated the inside of the card too. Thank you for sharing it at Word Art Wednesday and we hope you can join us again soon. Sue (DT)
ReplyDeleteYour card is such a wonderful breath of fresh Spring air as it is quite blustery and chilly here in the British Columbia, Canada. I've lived in California, too, many years ago, so I can fathom the not really cold Autumns and yes, 70 is much better than over 112!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for entering our ATG challenge at Through The Craft Room Door this week. Looking forward to see you again next challenge.
