Blessings, friends!
I thank you all so much for the good thoughts and prayers for Chrissy. This past week(s) have been a whirlwind but we're so blessed to have loving doctors and specialists that go the extra mile. The journey travels forward but we do so with good spirits, a positive outlook and many prayers of thankfulness.
And it's Spring Break week for my children ... YAY!
We're so excited to have the upcoming week off of school ~
a much needed break and the babies home from school = a happy mama! :)
There is a super new photo inspiration challenge at Catch the Bug
challenge blog ~ this gorgeous rainbow photo:
For my card, I used the Ava Mermaid digi. I paper-pieced her tail using these ocean themed papers and keeping the bottom portion to resemble the rainbow's colors :) I wanted to showcase Ava as the focal point so I kept this card pretty simple in l/o and added clear blue button 'bubbles' scattered about.
Be sure to stop by the blog and scoop up the adorable Friday Freebie ~ the adorable spring buggie! And did you know that right now, the Easter Digis at the Bugaboo shop are 50% off? So many fun cards you can make with the cache of Easter digital goodies - and on sale :)
Have a beautiful weekend :) I hope that rainbows and sunshine are yours and the snow and chill is melting away :)
Big hugs, Bigger Blessings!
