Never allow waiting to become a habit. Live your dreams and take risks.
Life is happening now.
Hey there from Nannyland,
While I'm certain I'm putting up new roots in the perfect place for me right now, I left behind some dear California friends that I miss every day. One such lady is a beautiful friend of more than 30 years, with whom I have spent countless hours pondering the mysteries of life. We have always been there for each other, through thick and thin, and I especially appreciated her love and support during my first two battles with breast cancer. Now, as I navagate through my third, I miss having her near to offer words of wisdom, laugh with me and remind me that things always work out fine in the end.
I was excited to make a card for her to tell her how much I miss her. I loved coloring gorgeous Prima Princess Gabrielle with my Copics because I knew I could add some tiny die cut flowers to her hair and bouquet to create some fun dimension. Her size was perfect for a slimline card, which I matted with a double die cut scallopped frame. I attached her with foam tape and added a layered Hero Arts sentiment made with a stamp and die set. The small flowers are from Spellbinders and the large one was created with Heartfelt Creations stamps, dies and mold.
I hope I have inspired you to think about the friends you don't get to see often and create a card to tell them how loved they are. Go forth and make someones day with a snailmail love note.
Thanks for visiting Nannyland.
I'll just be here blissfully creating until your next visit.
Nancy (aka Pink Panoply)
