Mid Challenge reminder at ds4j ~ Dream, love, hope.....


And what is the challenge you may ask? In the words of my dear friend Asmah......

FANCY FOLD AND HANDMADE FLOWER(S)
I would love to see any folding techniques you like, not just one crease but the more the merrier. Be sure to finish off your card with at least ONE handmade flower or more simply by using punches, dies, cut out, fussy cut, folded, crocheted, knitted, ribbonwork or fabric. The choice is yours.
I love making my own flowers for my creations. For this card, I have made quick and easy flowers from DigiStamps4Joy 3D flower set which is available in the STORE.

RECIPE I used

Image from DigiStamps 4 Joy called Bells & Doves coloured with Promarkers, and you can see more beauties HERE, also a set from the same company 3D flower set which I used to make my handmade flower

My daughters birthday



So my baby will soon be 24!!!!!!!!!!! How did that happen?????????? They only put her in my arms a few weeks ago.......................................... Oh well, time flies when you are having fun. Myg irl is a character all on her own. She has eschewed all paths of so called "normal" and is her own woman. Moral, vegan, free spirit, you get the picture. She is beautiful too, I call her my little hippy. That is why I fell for this stamp, again from a great find The East Wind, it reminds me of her so much!
