All of you are now responsible for me being late to work...but better late to work than late to the tea party. At camp, growing up, and even now, my favorite thing to do is to explore nature. Luckily I have 2 sons that are excited about finding "the perfect rock" as I am. However, I never looked as nice as this little cutie when I looked for rocks. Even now, it is an old pair of jeans and a t-shirt. TFL, Francie

OMGoodness!!!! This is just gorgeous....my mouth actually dropped open when I opened it. I'm telling you.....I can't use Copics to save my life and I don't have much better luck with Prisma and Gamsol. I'm lucky to have discovered watercolor pencils!! Anyway.....I'm starting to ramble.....your colouring is just totally fabulous!!

...sure it�s got a catchy beat, but can you stamp to it?

Francie, like what Jo said, this is simply gorgeous! What a delight to look at! Love the colors and how you colored the adorable image, the blue flowers, too! I hope your boss lets you off easy, and I'm like you, T-shirt and jeans are my go-to wardrobe, LOL!

Jeans and a t-shirt are definitely WAY more practical for boulder-hopping - the only merit I ever found in a skirt was you didn't have to roll it up to stop it from getting wet. But a river and bare feet - that's me for sure. I always love seeing you use that embossing folder, Francie. I keep wanting to try to get the amazing results you get from it. I love the white foliage with the blue flowers - so pretty.

What they all said...Francie this is gorgeous. Your little girl looks like a cross between Pippie Longstocking and Anne of Green Gables, she is super cute and I love how you coloured everything. The EF background sure is a jaw dropper too. Another Francie Original to add to My Favs.

Wonderful Francie! I used to spend my summers with my sister playing in a creek just like this one that led down to a lake. I was never in a dress though. Ditto the other comments, great colouring.

Oh Francie this is so beautiful! Such an adorable little girl thoroughly enjoying exploring. The colouring is gorgeous and the embossed layer is amazing. I don't know how you do it but I love it. There is going to be one very happy Teapotter when this arrives in the mail. Thank you for taking part in the challenge. TFS

Oh, another adorable girl, and I love every detail as much as the other card! You really had colored this so vibrantly and with such depth, Francie! Another beauty! Hugs!
