Hey Friends! Hope you are all doing very well! My little one has headed off back to school this past week, and oh how much I've missed him. The first day I felt completely lost and kept wondering what he was doing at each moment. I couldn't wait 'till he came home so I could hear everything that he did, and cuddle with him like a lunatic. :)
And when he finally came home, I could feel my heart beat like it should. :) It was happy! And it was even happier when my little one told me that he had a "GREAT" first day! :) Mommies love to hear that. hehe. Now, I'm smiling even more because it's the start of the weekend and I get to have him 24/7 ... plus he's turning the big 6 years old on Sunday! :)
Anyhow, earlier this week I got to play with this darling Lili of the Valley image "Sunny Days and Smiles" which I coloured with Distress Inks. I also used some of the "Petal Fresh" papers from Lili of the Valley! OoOoH my gosh, love the new paper pads!!! The pink paper is from DCWV, but the rest is from "Petal Fresh" .. they are so dreamy!
I have another Christmas animal card that I've finished also, but I wanted to post this first because my dear DT sister Dena has such a WONDERFUL tutorial on how to color these darling bears with distress inks! You HAVE to check out her video .. her colouring is incredibly GORGEOUS!!!
I'll save my Christmas card for another day. :)
Thank you so much for visiting me .. I love it when you do! I'll see you again soon.
Hugs,
Elise

You always manage to put a smile on my face!! This card is utterly scrumptious. Your colouring is just beautiful - I might just go and check out Dena's tutorial, it would be nice to try something new. The flowers are just delish - I still don't know how you always make your flowers scrumalicious! Happy birthday to your little one today - I hope he has had the best birthday. My little girl turns 5 tomorrow! She starts her second year at school next week and I'm so hoping she loves it as much as she did in Reception! Hugs, Jayne xxx
Beautiful card, Elise! Your coloring is beautiful (as always), and I love the soft pastel colors. You did a great job with the stick pins and arranging them as you did among the floral spray! Just beautiful! Have a glorious Sunday!
Love and Hugs,

This is so sweet! Beautiful coloring and I love the distressing!
So glad your son had a great 1st day at school--that certainly made it so much easier sending him back the following day I bet! Now you don't have to worry about your sweet little guy. You did a beautiful job coloring your LOTV image, he's adorable!!!
