Look Who's Turning 19

Hi everyone,

Thanks for stopping by and for all your wonderful comments.  I'm honored to have you here and I truly appreciate each of you more than you know!

Today's QACAS card was created for my nephew Daniel.  Similarly to his own nephew Landon's birthday card, I took inspiration for Daniel's card from the album I created for his 18th birthday.  The photographic sky image in the Serene Scenery DSP stack echoing the shaving foam background I created then...

Hi everyone,

Thanks for stopping by and for all your wonderful comments.  I'm honored to have you here and I truly appreciate each of you more than you know!

It's hard to believe that my great-nephew Landon is one already!  Of course, the little man's big day, on August 31st, deserved a very special card...

The colors and background splatters were inspired by the theme I used to create everyone's albums in honor of his arrival, which can be found here.

Ink: Bear ~ Sahara Sand (base layer), Crumb Cake (2nd) and Early Espresso; Bow ~ Soft Sky (base layer and also splatters) and Pool Party (detail and also sentiment)
