Limited Runs Digital Stamps

We have a very beautiful garden in our area that I love to visit every year.  Last year we were fortunate to see this beautiful peacock trying to get the attention of his lady friend.  I don't think she was too impressed, she kept ignoring him.

The art deco element is from Limited Runs Digital Stamps which I colored digitally.

Thank you so much for visiting, have a blessed day!

We have another fun new challenge for you at Digitally Sweet Challenges.

Lacy Sunshine Stamps

For my card, I chose to work with 'Emily's, Lil' Ducks'.  Love the lil' ducks in the umbrella, so cute!  I colored her with Prismacolor pencils, took a photo and brought her back into PSE to create a digital card.  

I can hardly wait for Easter!  Aside from the spiritual significance, the weather usually settles down after that.  Although, we had a gorgeous day yesterday; I even planted some spinach.  Today it's raining so it's the perfect time to visit my favorite greenhouse, do some dreaming and spend some money.

I hope you'll take a moment to visit Digitally Sweet and share your gorgeous creations!

Thanks for visiting and have a blessed day!

Lunagirl Images

I created a tag with this sweet little girl image which you can find at Lunagirl.  The decorative elements are all little bits and pieces of digital kits that I've collected over the years.

On my last post I was complaining about the cold.  We have now had 2 of the most glorious 70 degree days and my flower beds are starting to look much better after cleaning out all the winter debris.  And thank you Tracy for the rain, LOL.  I'll spend the day inside, crafting.

Thanks for visiting and have a blessed day!
