Sunday - Day 57 Super Sketchy Sunday

I did some cross stitching with pearl cotton thread.

I used Prisma color pencils for the fishies and some Stickles for the bubbles.







Tuesday - Day 59 - I Miss You

I covered some chipboard to match the papers.








Wednesday - Day 60 - Say What!?!

I used some Stickles to give this some sparkle.










Thursday - Day 61 - Leaf it up to me!

I used a real leaf for this card that I found in the fall.
This is a clear card base and I used a clear sheet over the top to protect the leaf from damage.








Friday - Day 62 - Age is Just a Number


I popped up the 3 bigger balloons and then tied some string around them.
This is for DGS who is 4 now.








Saturday - Day 63 - Floral Fest

I love using flowers on my cards and when I first started out I thought using 8 flowers would be very easy for me. But actually it was a bit of a challenge....I moved those flowers all over the place before I decided exactly where I wanted them to stay. TFL
