Please Feel Better Soon…

Hi again!  I’ve let my get well and thinking of you cards get a little low. So I decided to get a few done.  This is such a cute image and is one of the first that I ever purchased. It is from Di's Digital Challenge



It is colored with Prismacolors and Gamsol.  I’ve decorated it with several dies from Cheery Lynn Designs.  The paper is by Paper Studio, sold by the sheet.  I made the flower and topped it with a decorative button.  And the gems are by Reflections.

1st Explosion Box…

I thought this would be a fantastic project to give one of my best friend’s for their 50th anniversary; but I don’t think I’ll attempt it again.  It’s much more challenging than I thought. And it took me much longer than I thought it would take.  There will be several photos, so bear with me.
