WILD CARD WITH LISA/THANKS

Good Day!

We haven't been having nice weather and my mood is a bit sad right now because 

I love when the sun shines.

And then I remember Psalm 118:24

"This is the day the LORD has made; 

let us rejoice and be glad in it". 

 Now, it's all good again; I have the sunshine in me.

Thank You Lord.

Well, today is another Thursday and Lisa and I have the  

Thanks Card to share. 

You will find this one on page#49 and is card #18 on our venture here. 

Hope you like them.

When I saw that sombrero it just reminded me of Mexico and how their Mariachis (singers) costumes are made so elaborated and full of embellishments and lots of bling. So, that is what I tried to portrait; vivid, bright, gorgeous colors blinging all around :-).

Lisa's Thanks Card

I love Lisa's card. I love how she incorporated the Paper Dolls cartridge in this card. I love the clothing on the doll; bright, vivid colors true to the culture. It never occurred me to include the paper doll. Thanks Lisa! you have inspired me again with your creativity and imagination.
