2S4U "Hello Friend"

Just a quick post today...Jack is all better, but he gave me the flu. Blech!

Here is what I came up with for Laura's Sketch 19 at 2 Sketches 4 You. I had a lot of fun working with this one! I decided to keep everything white so the tree would stand out. I drew and cut the trunk myself and then added all the leaves, flowers and buttons.

Supplies:
CS: White 110 lb from Georgia Pacific, PP: Collage Press (orange), BoBunny (green dot), Flowers: Prima, Slick Paint: Plaid, Leaf die: Sizzix, "Hello Friend" and bird stamps: Hero Arts, Swiss Dot and Swirl embossing folder: Cuttlebug, Foam Tape, Buttons, String, and Ribbon from stash.


And here is my eye candy... I have four!

The top pic is Scott, Dan and Alex taken last summer and the bottom is Jack taken last month. He turns 2 in 2 days...*sigh* my baby is growing up.

Thanks for visiting!

this is literally breathtaking! just unbelievably, heart-meltingly, envy-inspiringly GORGEOUS!
♥wow♥

*********
ps re birds on dotty backgrounds: now that you SAY it...yeah...i guess i can kind of/somewhat/sorta see a vague similarity...but your card is VERY MUCH its own thing, and could in no way be thought of as anything but original!!! (besides, if you ever DID want to "copy" me...i would be nothing but honored, believe me!)
