St. Patricks Day Birthday


March 17 is my husbands birthday, so he often gets cards with the St. Patricks day theme. This year was no exception. The lovely lady holding the green brew is an image from Bugaboo. The hat with the shamrock was a free digi I downloaded this week, but did not realize the artists tag was not with the image, so if anyone knows what site I got it from - they can let me know. The sentiment was computer generated and the DP is from my Christmas stash, I thought it was suitable for this card. Images colored with copics.
Had two Birthday dinners with my husband, yesterday with family, and tonight we went to the Falls. Ate way too much both times!

Geraniums


I know that geraniums are usually red, pink or white.  I like blue, so that is the color I used for the basket of flowers.  This is a beautiful free image from Inks Art for CDACPC 14, series 3.  I had fun with this, but I think I have more leaves in the basket than flowers, maybe because that is the way my planters usually turn out.  I have colored the image with copics, added flower gems from Dollarama.  The sentiment is computer generated and the DP is from Hot Off the Press, Paper Pizazz.

We are experiencing very warm weather for this time of year, you didn't need a coat this afternoon.  I talked my husband into barbecuing on the back deck tonight, first time since last summer.  Very tasty.  Curled this morning and we won our game.  Only about three weeks left to curl this season.

Dressed For a Party


The big decision with this image was what to put on her outstretched hand?  Seeing as how I had added glitter to her dress, I decided on a very small purse.  Such a cute free image from Back to Paper to be used in the CDACPC 13  Series 3 Challenge which ends on March 14th.  A new Progressive Challenge with new images will begin then and run until the end of March.
I have colored the image with copics, adding some silver glitter to her dress.  The handbag is a stamp from Crafter's Companion, just the right size for this image.  Had fun with the designer paper I used, positioning it so that it looks like she has crown on her head.  The sentiment has been computer generated.

 Went for my Mammogram to-day - hope everyone has this check up every couple of years, or more often if needed.  One of my closest friends went for her checkup recently and they discovered a small lump since the previous exam.  They were able to remove it and also took the lymph nodes from under that arm.  She will have radiation treatments, but should be okay.
