Late, late, late....but what a ride! I love the freedom in the face of this joy rider! Mummu is a favorite Mo Manning image and I thought she was perfect to honor my friend Susan (One4Joy). Susan's gallery is loaded with cards that make you smile, and she has a wonderful way of sharing her faith in her work as well. Susan, I love that you have been honored as QFTD, and remember all the of crazy challenges we played along in when we were both Newbies! Today, I was was inspired by No Kitchen Goddess, and the fun spirit in which you make your cards- and that one has a great story too!
Hope your reign was delightful! BIG hugs sweet friend! LYMI

Pat this is spectacular. I didn't miss that bicycle charm either. You have such a delightful way of layering your cards that the dimension seems to come right off the computer screen and into my lap!!! Such a fun and fabulous card to honor the QFTD.

oh, Joy, my Pats arrived at the party! I absolutely adore your case...that Mo what a fun gurl, she must be...her art speaks to all of us, right??? I love the JOY and freedom in Mummus' face.
I had a wonderful reign, had my socks blessed off and am deeply thankful to see my art reach out beyond myself. Thank you sweet, sweet friend for always encouraging me in both my art and my faith.
till in the air....and the joyous roar begins,
LYMI

Never seen this image before, but what a look of reckless abandon on her face - positively delightful, Pat!! So this is Mummu?!!! What a beautiful freedom her expression portrays, and I bet a story to tell up her sleeve, as she pedals her way along!! Love the story BG and the layers to make her stand out - that gingham and the charm fit this card just RIGHT!!
Susan, your free spirited cards just evoke fun and laughter in my mind - such a smorgasboard in your gallery - got lost for hours- I will have to try your style soon - reckless abandon - LOL!!
Hugs - lymi!

What a great image - her braid whipping in the air, as she peddles down the flower-lined lane with her basket full of spring flowers! Wonderful card, Pat, and love your little bicycle charm too!

How sweet. Love how she looks like she has not a care in the world as her hair blows in the wind. Makes you wonder what kind of adventure she is up to. You chose the perfect paper, ribbon and charm to show case this great image.
