the beauty of a true friendship - Whimsy & Stars Studio DT

Good morning everyone I hope you all have a wonderful day planned, we have Sunday lunch on the plans for today, just Phil, our beautiful Daughter, her partner and me, so it will be a restful fun lunch I think, our wonderful girl starts her new job tomorrow and I'm so excited for her, she looks like such a beautiful, smart young woman in the outfit I bought her for her first day, it reminds me of first day back at school times when you get a shock at how grown up they are...she always astounds me she is so clever and beautiful and when I look at her I'm sure beams of pride and love shoot out of my ears...well I wouldn't be surprised anyway lol...right on to my card for today, (Its not the best colouring as I had run out of my card for colouring hopefully some new stuff should be here tomorrow) which is for my Whimsy and stars studio Guest DT spot, this gorgeous little darling is called MRO Girly w Kitty, I love her cute little cat don't you, I coloured her with distress inks and added a little bit of glitter to her so she would have a sparkle...these amazingly beautiful papers are from Kaisercrafts 6x6 Le Chateau paper pad, the sentiment is printed on it, I didn't think this card need much at all to finish it as the image and paper says it all doesn't it...I used some cream satin ribbon and a gold heart, the sketch I made up to match the papers and I'm entering this for the Craft us Crazy Challenge, Simon Says stamp Card for a Child challenge and I'm also entering it for A Spoon Full of Sugar's all creatures great and small challenge too...right I'm off to help Phil with lunch, have a wonderful day everyone no matter what you have planned I hope you spend it with someone you love Oh by the way I finally got my ipod charger from Sainsbury's for £7, a lot less than the ipod one for £26 isn't it
