All sorts of FUN stuff has kept me away. We have had family visiting from out of town. I have made THIRTY FOUR baby shower invitations! I have a new bike so I've been riding almost every day! and ... well ..... just the wonderful distractions that summer brings..... not to mention that surprise I
But all that goes aside for now because today I get to share my Seize the Birthday challenge blog Birthday card! where the Toppings for the next two weeks is:
Bold and Bright!
I love these cactus or is it cacti? They were fun to color and check out the freehand water coloring they are sitting on! I don't like to toot my own horn but a puddle of water like this doesn't come out of MY water pen every day! heeheehee
I really will be back to regular blogging soon! I just know I will. I have been trying to get around to do some visiting while I've been MIA but if I have missed you please bear with me! I will get to you soon : ) I thought I would be back in full swing this week but my wonderful husband is "grabbing me" and whisking me off to Colorado for an impromptu road trip. As a matter of a fact THIS is actually a scheduled post. I won't be home when this goes live. : ) Life is good.
I hope your summer is going well too! Please be sure to visit the Seize The Birthday blog to see what Bold and Bright Birthday greetings the rest of the Design Team have created for you!. Then make a Bold and Bright card yourself and post it to the gallery. If you don't happen to be a Toppings kind of person, as always, Anything Goes at STB! so please come join the fun we LOVE seeing your work!!
BIG (((Hugs)))
