Thanks for all that you do........

Good Morning!!
First I want to say Happy 1 year to Just Magnolia!
This week they have a lovely sketch
with an option of making a Thank You card.


I think I am getting pretty brave with colors lately!! LOL
I get nervous using bright colors as I am more
of a muted and neutral person but lately I have
been drawn to colors! Maybe because Summer
is on its way. I love how everyone else does it
but am kinda iffy on mine! LOL

This is another image from the Spring Kit. I think
she is adorable! I have colored with twinkling H20's
and distress inks.  The flowers are from Prima and
papers are from Fancy Pants. I found the ribbon
at Emma's Paperie. Of course everything is doused
with Picket Fence Distress Crackle Paint. Sentiment
is from Catslife Press.

Well I hope you are all having a great week thus far
and that it continues to stay that way!
Tomorrow I have Rach's kindergarten Reg.
and I am not doing well with it!! LOL
My last baby is heading off to school! I never
really thought this day would come! haha
Well I guess it had to come sooner or later!

Anyways thanks so much for stopping by and see
you tomorrow with my Sugar Bowl card.

:)Kathy

Beautiful card Kathy, your distressing is fab as always & I love the sweet Tilda she's my favourite from the stamp club.
Our babies grow up way too fast, my eldest baby (21) has just left home and moved into a flat and the house feels empty without him and his thumping music and the daily washing mountain lol
hugs Mandy xx
