I don't have any girls of my own, but I was once a little girl.
My father was always there for me and always encouraged and supported me in anything I did.
Nothing's changed even now that I'm older, I'm only lucky girl.
Sweet little image, isn't it?
For some reason, I couldn't really get this to photograph well, probably because I have a million things to do today?
Trying to maximize my time so I'm playing in a couple of challenges, what a way to kick start the direction of a card when you really don't know where to start...
The Craft's Meow October Card Sketch Challenge...designed by uber talented Lynn.
The CR84FN Color Challenge...yummy soft colors...
And the Wee Memories Challenge to use Brad's Buttons or Bows..
I went with a simple bow from floss.
