Hello Friends! HAPPY NEW YEAR! I am a bit late with the greetings of the New Year .. but I wish you all a very WONDERFUL 2013! Hope you all had fabulous celebrations!!
My family is still in town, and we have a couple more days to enjoy them. :) And Bodhi goes back to school soon .. oh my gosh .. I so don't want to have him go back to school already. I really really love having him with me. I think the doctors totally forgot to cut the umbilical cord when Bodhi was born. hahahaha!!!
Annnyway, I have a card to share that I've made using this beautiful Lili of the Valley's "Aimi with Lantern" and I added a bird on the top of her lantern from the Geisha Companion Stamp Set. Look at her cute little mouth! hehe .. soooo darling she is! I used these bold red/black/white with hints of gold colors since it's the colors for Japanese New Years celebrations .. which holds special meanings. Luck, Love, Wealth, Joy, Health ...
Well, thank you so much for visiting me .. I love it when you do! And I'll see you again soon!
Squishy Hugs,
Elise

Have a happy 2013.
You card is beautiful again. Sweet image and I guess it is hard to color with those little details. Nice with the white edges
hahah It would look strange when you did have your umbilical cord still left :-D
Hugs Sinikka
P.s enjoy the time with your family
Wow Elise! Your card is totally gorgeous! Stunning details and so cute charms that fits perfect to the image!
Happy New Year!
Hugs, June

I know how you feel, I love having my children at home with me and hate it when they go back to school.
Your card is stunning. I love the image, your colouring is wonderful and I love the papers and flowers.

This is so pretty, Elise. Love how you've edged the papers. Wishing you and your family a very Happy New Year! Hugs, Tracey x
Oh.My.Gosh! Elise, hunnybun, this is simply STUNNING babes - wow, the colours are awesome, such a beautiful design and your details are so pretty, love the little bird perched there, just inspired placing. OK, I am dribbling over this, a little bit, not enough to make the card wet, but it is BRILLIANT! You have more talent in your little finger than I could hope for in a lifetime. Squishy hugs right back at ya, Squirrel xxx
Wow Elise, This is gorgeous. I really struggle with black hair and this card will be referred to for future inspiration! Love the colouring of her dress too, really soft blue and the gorgeous red accents.

Hiya Elise, my cutie pie ❤
Oh hunni, you did it again!! I'm amazed at all the loveliness coming from your place! It's so stunning, love the image and you coloured her up so beautifully - the red flowers on the kimono is simply amazing! And the red and black color combination is rocking!
Cute to paint the edges white, gives it a shabby feel :)

Soph has gone to a Rugby meeting and George is sat here watching the Transformers new movie,a food shop to do later and then maybe a bit of crafty time :)))

Hi Elise,
Love your layout, fan, flowers, crochet, colouring and the 'white stuff' on your piece of Art!!
I think your colouring is absolutely FAB! ha, ha, you should really try to do a tuto on that and then speedrecord it so people won't notice that it took you hours to get these images so darn cute!! :-)
Well it's taking me hours too. That's why people like your cards so much,because you put so much effort in your artwork and look at all the details!!! You just don't give yourself enough credit.
Big Dutch Hug from the Netherlands,
Marjolein
ps. Cherish these moments with your family!!
Beautiful card Elisa. Stunning colouring and gorgeous embellishments.
