Bubble Blowing Daisy

It's that fabulous time of the month again, where I share with you one of Wendy's fabulous new Digital Delights releases, which also includes digi papers & sentiments.

I just loved colouring this cutie in, she reminded me so much of our youngest Katie. She would spend hours just sitting in the garden blowing bubbles for the dog to chase lol

Anyhoos here's my creation....

As I was colouring her, I thought pale colours suited her better.

I am so excited to be a part of Andrea's DT, her images are just awesome & so different from anything else out there. So make sure you pop over & check out her etsy page here.

Now for my card...

I just loved this cutie as soon as I saw him. The reason I popped 'DREAM BIG' on there....well our eldest daughter is at Uni studying 3D animation with dream to eventually work for Dreamworks, Disney or that kinda place. She is definitely the girl to do it, she never lets anything stop her doing what she wants to do, everything she has set her heart on she has achieved. She amazes me with her determination...she will get there one day.....so this card is for her!
