For You

Hello Friends!  Hope you're all doing very well!  I decided to make a tag with this adorable Sweet Apples.  I decided to make her black/white with dashes of pinks on there.  And then I also added some flower soft that I have around the edges since it contained pinks and greens like on my image.

Hello Friends!  Hope you're all doing very well!  We're doing okay here ... but my little boy got sick .. yep yep yep .. the joys of Kindergarten germs.  lol!  He's doing perfectly fine .. there was no hindering his romping around .. he's all boy and constantly playing.  And the antibiotics is doing it's job.  :)

So I finally coloured up this Magnolia that I bought last year!!!!!  LAST YEAR!!!  lol!  Fall begins in a couple of days ... how wonderful!  ;)  I am anxiously awaiting the shorter days .. since I love the night.  And I can't wait to feel the chilly nip in the air .. which means my favorite holidays are rounding the corner.  Yayyy!

You Are Beautiful ... Love, Hope & Faith

Hello Friends!  Hope you're enjoying your weekend so far!  Today we had such wonderful weather, I wish it would stay this way every single day!

Well, I made this card over a week ago .. I've been neglecting my blog!  lol!  This card does not have a stamped image, but instead features a large Prima rose sprinkled with crystals.  This rose was plain, and I thought, "Hmmm .. jazz it up somehow?"  Then I remembered somewhere on Dena's blog there was something where she put huge amounts of glitter or crystals on her flowers and I loved it!!!!  Thank you Dena for the inspiration!!!

It's been almost a year since I was diagnosed with Breast Cancer .. can you believe it?  yep yep yep.  We've come a long way haven't we?  :)

So this was made in honor of those that have cancer .. to remind them of how BEAUTIFUL they still are.  To remind them that they are completely LOVED, to remind them to Hold HOPE with both hands, and to Keep the FAITH......

Very simple card, but the meaning is there ...

Thank you so much for visiting me, I love it when you do.  :)  Have a wonderful weekend.

Hugs,

Elise

Best Friends

Hello Friends!  I hope it's getting cooler wherever you are, and you have some relief from the heat.  Here in Vegas .. no relief yet.  lol!!!

Well, I've created a card using a most sweet image from Belles ' n Whistles from the newest SweetArt Release called "Sweet Summer Days".  ahhh, this is such a wonderful image!  When Summer gets this in stock again, be sure to snatch it up quickly .. because I'll tell you .. this can be used for so many things and it was a pure pleasure to color!  :)
