Love is in the Air.

Kia Ora

From South Island New Zealand. To my friends who messaged me after the Wellington earthquake on Tuesday, yes me and my family are OK. We were too far south to feel the effects of that one. I do have a couple of friends in Wellington and they are OK as well which is all good.

Another apology for the other day when I mixed up all my links, sometimes I have bad days where I can't think straight at all, that's part and parcel of the Celiacs Disease, we like to call it brain fog in the Celiac world, but I prefer to call them brain farts.

On to today's card..  I made this card …

Starting Over

Kia Ora,

From a cold and wintry New Zealand, I'm not quite sure what is happening but one of the bonuses of having a house in an alpine environment is that it can snow in summer, lols.

I'd like to enter today's card in the Crafty Little Fairies Challenge Starting Over . And because I found out today that my newest grandchild (due in May) is going to be another girl I'd thought i"d get some practice on new baby cards ;)


I lost the light before I could take this photo but I took the shot anyway because the link closes before tomorrow morning. 

Here's what I used….

DP Rosie's Studio Fun & Giggles
Spellbinders Dies
Copics
Image and sentiment All Our Dreams from LOTV
