YAY three day weekend for those who live in the states. Hubby is home today because Baltimore is preparing for the Grand Pix Race starting tomorrow and trying to get into the city is almost impossible. DH's office over looks the Inner harbor and the streets the races are on - guess where we will be!?! Yep, food, drinks and AC watching the race in comfort!
Today my creation is Renae's birthday card - sadly I am notoriously known to be late with sending my greeting cards to my family and friends. I had this card made before we left for vacation and well......
The adorable image "Happy Mail" by Elisabeth Bell I made a card very similar to this and changed the colors of her outfit and placing the bow between to eyelets created with a Crop A Dile.

ReplyDeleteThat is an adorable image, Colleen, and you colored it beautifully. I love how you tied your ribbon with those eyelets.
ReplyDeleteBlessing hugs,
Teresa
she will love it! funny how so many of us are "postal procrastinators"
ReplyDeleteenjoy watching the races (-:

Better late than never, Colleen, atleast you send cards to near and dear ones. I just take them for granted and get more thrill by selling the cards rather than sending them... and then I have another excuse, snail mail is so darned slow here. Even though the post offices are all computerised and all that.
ReplyDeleteWhen you spoke of Baltimore, it reminded me of my dear Aunt who lives there... she used to work in a hospital I think as a Clinical Sociologist or something like that. Her daughter works for the JHU as a scholarships officer.
Enough rambling - Lol... your card is as delightful as ever, love the bonnet on her and the colours are royal. LOVELY!
Have a pleasant weekend with the Grand Prix,
Monica

ReplyDeleteOh, and just wait until she turns 40 like ours did this year. THAT makes you feel old!! LOL!
