60 years young

What a great birthday, I have been so spoilt with flowers, a party and lots of presents. I certainly don't feel like 60, where did all those years go, Love D

Thank you LaVerne

LaVerne, an American TJ sent me this exquisite card, it is just so beautiful and I love the colours! She has used one of the TJ techniques Re-Inker Splash and the textures on the splashed bit feel crusty in parts, which adds to it's charm. The digi image was downloaded from Squigglefly, must look up and see what is available.Thank you so much LaVerne. Hey, just as a little side note, Praise God, I am going to be 60 tomorrow!

April's ATC

This week has flown by and tomorrow I am off to Brisbane for work leaving at 6.15am in the morning, I have to be at the airport at 4.15am so an early start for me. The theme for this month was children, I am a bit lacking in this area for stamps so used this one and coloured with my water colour crayons, they faded with the scan so had to boost the colour with help from the iphoto software. Next month's theme is black and white.

Good Friday

Today is Good Friday, the day we commemorate Jesus dying on the cross to save all mankind. We are off to Nelson for our son's 40th birthday tomorrow, travelling down on the Bluebridge ferry. The day has dawned with no wind so the Cook Strait between the North and South Island will be calm. I made this card to give him and coloured the image with my copic markers. Really looking forward to spending Easter with our son and family, quite a while since we have been to the South Island. Happy Easter everyone!
