So happy MariLynn is our newest queen. Her gallery is FULL of butterflies and beautiful flowers. I made her a quick whimsical card because I am leaving tomorrow morning at 5:30 to go to Kansas City with Builders for Christ to help add an addition to a church. I will be in the kitchen making 3 meals a day for a couple of hundred people. The leaders of our group are GREAT cooks so I will be getting my wish and eating out for a few days!!!!!
When I return, MariLynn, I will make you a pretty card. Pretty takes me awhile. Whimsical is my easy to do type card. I mailed it today to you along with several other cards I had hoped to mail a few days ago but did not have chance to. MariLynn was in the group of stampers that were first to welcome my sis, mutnik, and I to SCS. Annie Jo Ryan was the absolute first but Marilynn joined the ranks soon after. Cathy and I appreciate the encouragement we got from you that helped us in our journey a couple of years ago!!!
This is also for Faiths blog to get a free digi. This was the digi from her this week and I simply love it. You can find all the details here .
Note to Annie Jo.....I tied this bow...did NOT use the bow easy so there!!!
Thank you for looking.
By the way, the center is cracked glass.

Connie, It is a good thing that I had my screen full size or the title of your card might have read... well I think you can get the picture. I love this digi image. Sunflowers are my favorite. I can see that this butterfly thinks that it is a special flower too. As always I love seeing your tree in the background behind your card. You are a special friend. I hope your mission trip goes well. I hope it isn't too hot there!

Oh, Connie, this is just adorable! Your coloring is fantastic and the bow that you tied (without the bow easy) is perfect! Have a safe trip to Kansas City!

You actually tied this bow? Oh, something suggests otherwise. I know those arthitic and withered up hands you have and no way you could have tied this without using that cheap plastic easy bow makin' machine. I think Marco did if you want to know the truth. What a fun and whimsical image this is. You've colored it to perfection and I love the dp in the bg. Hey, BTW, I'm really lovin' your photos that are much more upclose so you can really see your card. Safe travels, sweet friend. I suppose I'll have to fill in for you while you're away. Sis needs someone to talk to everyday or else.
