Just For You Card Using Conie Fong Princess Aria Fairytale Cottage digital image

Hello friends!  I hope you are doing well.  It has cooled off a lot in Southern CA with the lows in the 30's and the highs in the 50's.  We had rain for 5 weeks (a few days off here and there); and I thought we were done for a while. 

I colored this image in Sept 2020; but had not made a card with it yet.  I finally created a card using Conie Fong "Princess Aria Fairytale Cottage"; but I can't decide the sentiment I want to use inside.  I am going to wait until I know who the card goes to before adding the sentiment inside.  I love this image and want to color it again.  It is gorgeous and fun to color.

Birthday Card for Male Using Pink Ink Designs Giraffe and CTMH products

Hello friends!  I hope you are doing well.  It has already started out as a crazy year.  We have had rain 4 weeks so far (part of Dec) with only a day or two (cloudy) here and there.  It is supposed to start raining again on Friday night.  That will be 5 weeks of rain.  Monday, we received 10 inches of rain.  CA has a severe drought; but now we are flooding everywhere.  I don't think the rain will be enough to make up for the drought.

I haven't really felt like coloring or creating anything; but I had to create a card for my great - granddaughter and one for my grandson.  It took me two days to find the Giraffe stamp set I bought a few years ago; which I have never used.  It took me another two days to figure out what type of card I wanted to make.  

This is my grandsons card.  He has always loved Giraffe's but I never could figure out what to do with this set once I bought it.  LOL!  I love it and I like how it turned out.
