Little Love Duck

Pin It

Happy Thursday!  It’s time for the new Meljen’s Designs challenge.  This week we have a super fun and super easy challenge for you – ANYTHING GOES!      

For my project this week I used the digital image Little Love Duck.    He is so cute and makes me think of spring.  Check out those cute rain boots. 

 

As is my habit lately, I made 2 of this card too.   Since they both are the same, I’ll save you from having to look at both.  1 is for my stash and 1 is for OWH or my daughter’s school fundraiser.

I got some good news this week.  I finally can return to working out.  (Insert  happy dance here!  or should I say insert a Jazzercise dance here?)  I had foot surgery at the end of September, got a stress fracture over the holidays, and then injured myself by tripping up the stairs.    I can finally go back to working out on a limited basis.  Hurray!  I am so happy to be heading back. 

 

Don’t forget to check out my February Follower Blog Candy HERE.

 

 

Thank you for stopping by!  Have a great day!

What a cutie this is, Cheryl! Great combination of colors and papers, and that little duck is totally adorable. Great idea to make two of these to meet your crafting goals more easily -- I think I might have to take a page out of your book there! Thanks for sharing this with us at Tuesday Throwdown. I hope you'll join us again next week! :-)
