SMILE

SMILE - it's FLUTTER BY WEDNESDAY!!! Hello to you and thank you for stopping by. There is a lot in this post and I saved the best for last so make sure you read through my entire post - especially if you want some goodies :o)

Today, on the Flutter By team our challenge was to use a butterfly or fairy and flowers. That's not a hard one - I mean I have a TON of flowers not to mention paper with flowers and stamps with flowers!! So I'm sure this would be an easy challenge for you as well so why not join in? As you know we are celebrating Danni's 40th birthday this month so be sure to stop by her blog, share you creation and enter to win the giveaway of the week!! Oh and there is also a special designer this month - Kim whose blog I LOVE to visit. She's very talented and I'm always amazed at her coloring, design and ability to cut & pop up almost everything! Trust me you'll want to check out her blog!! Now on to my creation:


I had to use SMILE as when I look at this card that is what I do. I mean it has to bring a smile to the recipients face, right? The image is from TGF - which was a RAK to me. I colored her with Copics. The paper is a retired set from TAC. The greeting is from Paper salon and the flowers are Prima.

Be sure to stop by the other team members blogs to see their wonderful creation and while you are visiting Christine's blog be sure to wish her a Happy Birthday!!

Today was school picture day at Abby's school. My sister bought this outfit for Abby and I've been saving it for her picture day. I thought she looked ADORABLE so I had to snap a few photos - sorry but gotta share my baby!

She was so funny - she told me she looked like she was in high school - I totally busted out laughing!!

As I've been promising I have some blog candy to give away. This is to thank you - for without you blogging just wouldn't be! I am so happy that my friends kept pushing me to start a blog and am thankful for meeting such wonderful people. This has truly been one great year - I'm looking forward to many more!!
