Anita is our Muse this week, and I'm so happy to pull out that gorgeous embossing folder again, I just couldn't resist playing along! Here is Anita's beauty for Muse #152:
I was inspired by:
- her colors
- the blooms
- die cut word
- and that e.f.
Here is my interpretation, where I've reversed the colors making the panel aqua, the bloom white with pink center [thank you, Kristie!] - it dots the i quite nicely, I think:
Lifestyle Crafts e.f.; W&W cutaway word; SSS bloom; Zig pink
My world has seen a whirlwind of surprises this week ... we've welcomed our 7th grandchild into the world - with a bang! Born at 30 weeks, weighing in at 3 lbs. 6 oz., at last measure, Gretchen Michele is an adorable little peanut, and so far is doing so well. Your happy thoughts, and prayers would be so appreciated, thank you! xx

ReplyDeleteMy friend, I'm catching up *today*, just shy of a month late - and putting myself in the corner for a while after I do! I adore your big HI card, but more important, I'm ecstatic to hear of the arrival of your newest peanut, Gretchen Michele! I've seen your photos (I see every post and send "love" thought bubbles until I comment) of her and goodness...a bundle of precious! She's a darling and talk about a fabulous name...
