Fun in the Sun

Hi folks!  Hope your Thursday has gone well.  I wanted to start out by thanking all those who have sent best wishes for my mom.  Such sweet, sweet people out there in stamping blogland!  It means a LOT!  And by the way, she is doing much better and we're very hopeful for a full recovery!  {big smile}

Now to the fun stuff... a new card.  Yep... I'm stuck on these sweet Saturated Canary images and have now worked up this darlin' called Beach Baby.  She's just a smile waitin' to happen isn't she?  And so fun to color up.


I know... I know... the DPs I've chosen don't make anyone think of the beach or sun fun.  But, I decided that wasn't necessary or anything to worry about. I've seen some terrifically cute 'beach' cards with the whole beachy theme, but this is OK too, right?  : )  Oh... and please, no tough comments on the sand, 'K?  It's my first try and I came up a little short.  I was just dotting my little copic heart out and that's the best it got!  haha!
