You are my Sunshine Card

Did you know we  are a week into March already!!!!
One thing I have noticed with me being Retired. Is that the months kind of run into each other.
When I worked, I would have to bill the customers at the end of the month and then balance month end.
It was like the period at the end of the sentence.
Well I don't have to balance so its like my month doesn't end.
Don't get me wrong, I am definitely not complaining ;)

I put a card together tonight. It took me about an hour.
You would think that it was a quick card to make.
But the image was already coloured, the tree was cut out and the scallop circle was a left over piece from my last card, lol.
I thought the large circle looks like the sun :)
I had the black scallop already cut and placed it there, then thought ohhh I need some yellow. Then looked in the paper pack and there was some pattern paper with this circle pattern on it..bonus ;)
















I had coloured this image months ago.
My friend Sybil was having a challenge and I was going to join.
Actually I was going to put in 4 cards, one for each season, as her challenge was to make a card for your favourite season...well I didn't make the deadline :(
The tree is a die cut. I trimmed the branches so as not to interfere with this cute girl, who I coloured with my Copics :)





















I see I need to change my blade on my paper trimmer.
I swear those blades don't last as long as they used to.


















Here is the inside of my card.
















I am still battling with my cold.
So nice to answer the phone and my family or friends on the other side tell me I sound like crap....I am so loved, lol.
I am soothing my throat with some hot tea with honey. I don't normally drink tea, but do enjoy it when I'm not feeling my best.
Hopefully Tink. will help me feel like myself tomorrow :)

















Onto My Day:
I didn't do much.
Napped and caught up on my emails.
And got Heather to make lasagna for dinner.

Hope you all had a creative Tuesday :)

Tracy :)

  1. Cute! The tree die cut is so cool! Do you like ginger? Take some fresh ginger and steep it in hot water along with the honey- yummy and helps with soar throats as well. (my son especially likes it!)

  9. So, so sweet! I love how you did the tree. You are so right about trimmer blades not lasting as long as they used to. Frustrating when they tear up the paper.
