Trust Joy and Embrace It

Hello Friends!  Hope you are all doing very well!

We have Bodhi's best friends birthday party this coming weekend .. and so we got his best bud a couple things. And I TOLD Bodhi, "It's a surprise, so do NOT tell Hudson what you got him okay?"  mmm-hmmmm.  Next day Bodhi came home from school and said he DIDN'T tell Hudson what we got him.  But .. he said he asked Hudson, "Guess which Skylander character we bought you for your birthday?!"  Oh my word.  LOL!  So Hudson guessed through the list of Skylanders .. and of course now knows which one we got him.  But Bodhi insisted, "I didn't tell him!  He guessed it!"  LOL!!!  Okay .. whatever you say LoveBug. hehe.

Well, I made a card with the DARLING Lili of the Valley "Fairy with Dove" stamp .. I just LOVE her to bits!  

I've used Distress Inks to colour this ... some colours were new ones sent to me for Christmas by a dear friend of mine .. thank you!  I love them so much!!!  And the bird with cage was a die that I purchased with a  giftcard sent to me my a very sweet overseas friend for Christmas also!  Thank you .. I so love it!




I think this image is just so beautiful for Valentines too!  :)  You can even use this for anything really!   Lili of the Valley has been shipping out all the orders that has been placed over the holidays .. so go get your fill on and treat yourselves to something special and sweet!  :)

Thank you so much for visiting me .. I love it when you do!  I will see you again soon!

Hugs & Kisses,
Elise
