The happiness of your life depends on the quality of your thoughts.
Hey there from Nannyland,
I recently talked to my daughter who lives in Pacific Grove, California where she has been enduring (just barely) a four-day power outage. Yikes! No offense to Punxsutawney Phil, but it doesn't look like spring is coming anytime soon, with extreme weather swirling around us on all sides. It's a little soggy here in the desert, so I've been daydreaming of flower buds and warm spring breezes for the past few days. This blissful reverie has expressed itself in the form of journal pages that look like a candy shop and a flower garden had a baby. The bright, warm colors make my eyes so happy!
Jeremiah Keltner's images are always so elegant and serene with their gorgeous Asian flair. What could be more fanciful than kittens and flowers cascading down luxurious curls. I found just the right page in my dp stash with the perfect colors and quote for my sentiment page.
I colored my image in warm Copic shades and framed her with a lacy Heartfelt Creations die frame. A Spellbinders mini sprig of flowers accents the free space at the bottom of my frame. I added matching blooms to my sentiment page to tie the pages together.
Yes, I think I'll keep the spring vibes going with some cheerful Valentine and Easter cards. Last night, as I was trying to go to sleep, I thought of a really cute idea for a Valentine card for my hubby. Stay tuned...I think it's going to be one-of-a-kind. I get some of my best ideas at night. How about you?
Thanks for visiting Nannyland.
I'll just be here blissfully creating until your next visit.
Nancy (aka Pink Panoply)
