I think I have finally recovered from the tears that were streaming down my face when Joannie Rochette skated in the Ladies Short Program last night. If you are not aware of the story, her mom had a heart attack and died shortly after her flight landed in Vancouver. She was coming to watch her daughter skate... Joannie decided to skate in the competition and her face told the story as she performed her routine. She fully broke down at the end of her routine after the audience gave her a standing ovation. Another Olympic moment and one that shows the wonderful support the audiences have been giving the athletes. Now for the card. Square cards seem to be the flavour of the week, how fun! Have always loved square cards and actually find them easier to "balance" than the standard A2 size.
I found this darling little bunny stamp in Michael's $1.50 stamp bin and just had to buy him!! He just makes me smile when I look at him. I tend to stay away from images that require colouring because quite frankly, my colouring sucks LOL! I need to enlist Dawn for some lessons as she is a master colourer (think I just made that word up LOL!). I used Twinkling H2Os for the bit of colour and sparkle on the bunny and added a bit of grass to "ground" the image. A "naked" button finished things off nicely.
Glad you were able to stop by today. Appreciate every one of you (((hugs))).
