Happy Thoughts

Check out this super cute image I won from Sassy Cheryl's Stamps!  I think this little boy is adorable!  Thanks to Sassy Cheryl's for the wonderful prize! Thanks Cards in Envy for selecting my card as an "in the mailbox" card!
TMS Top 5
I used this week's sketch from Tuesday Morning Sketches.  This week TMS also includes a twist, which is use an animal.  I hope the little duck counts!  Colored my image with Prismacolor pencils.  Added a little Glossy Accents to the water ripples.  The cattail embellishments are from the digital image.  I just made them bigger and cut them out.  That is the best thing about digital, you can adjust the size!  This week I also came across the Cards in Envy challenge blog.  They challenge you to make 4A cards that will fit in an envelope that can be mailed without extra postage.  The total thickness is limited to 1/4 inch or less.   Love this idea since 90% of my cards get mailed.
Thanks for taking time to stop by my blog!  God bless!!

    Love those cattails. Thanks for the info on the Cards N Envy Blog. That is really a tough challenge for me. I so love the serenity and simple beauty of Max and the duck. Perfect summer day. Thanks for joining in at Sassy Cheryl's this week.
