Wish

My niece's birthday is coming up in early December (just two days before my daughter).  She lives in South Africa and we are going to see them for the Christmas holidays! I wanted to get a card in the post to her.  It's been a while since I used any of my Greeting Farm stamps, so here is the little girl I coloured:

Paper: cardstock (PTI); Neenah; designer paper (DCWV)
Ink: Copic Markers; various Memento inks
Stamps: The Greeting Farm; Hero Arts; PTI; Stampin 'Up
Other: Tiny Tags die (PTI); Large Scalloped Die (PTI)

I am not totally sold on it yet, but perhaps it will grow on me over the weekend, if not, then I'll just need to make something different.  I used quite a few different stamps to make the graph background, to stamp the little tags etc...

Now I am off to make a boy birthday card as my daughter has a party to go to on Sunday!

Whilst you are reading this post, (if you are up around 5am that is) I will be out trying to run a 15 mile training run with my running group.  We run in a big park about 25 minutes away.  The path is made mostly of asphalt so it is a bit more giving on the feet, we'll see how I manage.

The weather has been awesome, and I am hoping it stays cool for the run to set the stage for an enjoyable long run with a great bunch of people!

Wishing you all a fabulous weekend!
