Springtime in Winter

So I decided to try out a sketch by Lauren today and wouldnt you know I goofed a bit! I decided to take the liberty in turning one of the layers into a layered flower, but I didnt realize that layer was such a substantial layer! Anyway, it looks similar…..yet not quite the same.

I also wanted to make something Spring inspired since I’ve been making nothing but Christmas cards for the past 2 days! I needed a breath of fresh air!! So I pulled out my my “And everything nice” set, it’s such a friendly little set!

Isnt it happy and fresh and cute? I love those velvet blossoms from maya road! And I had to give her a nice blue sky, so I made a mask and sponged some pretty blue sky. She was colored with my copic markers and I decided to make her a little ginge! I had a friend with a curly ginger haired boy, he was super cute!

Tonight Sean and I are taking the girls over to my mom’s house for my birthday dinner! I know for sure she is making me some manicotti, Italian salsa which is tomatoes and lots of cheese on small bread rounds all toasty and melted (YUMMY!), and for dessert she is making lots of little bites; brownies, lemon bars and other suprises! How fun!!! Im hoping I get that scor-pal I heavily hinted at, LOL! 

Then later after the girls are asleep Sean and I are putting up the Christmas tree! And maybe I’ll have something new to play with! I also have a new video game, but we’ll see how much crafty fun loot I get tonight! Thanks for all your kind birthday wishes, they mean a lot!
