Warmest Wishes

I wanted to make a card for a friend celebrating a birthday,

and having back surgery.

For inspiration I'm playing along with Fusion,

celebrating their 3rd Anniversary.

Really wanted to fuse the sketch with the photo,

but the photo won. Loved the warmth of the red coffee pot and cups.

Stamped with my Misti, so I could sponge Ink 2 colors. (Seem to 

be doing a lot of that technique lately :))

Wanted to show you how we're doing with all 

this rain. 

This is a picture of Ryan, my son and Eli, my grandson,

enjoying our extra full lake.

Today is a dry day, but we've had rain to make up for 

5 years of drought. Although I'm grateful, our ponding basin came to the top,

and over. We lost a few tree limbs during the week's storm, some of 

which you can see floating.

The ducks don't seem to mind the flood!

More rain on Wednesday!
