Blessings and Thankfulness



Hello dear sweet friends -

As some of you already know I had a different post here earlier today.  I have moved that post to my Life Lessons from Hercules Blog which I have been wanting to start for quite some time now.  And so, if you feel so inclined - you can check out my new blog and let me know what you think. (For this card I wanted to use my scraps of paper and other embellishments that are over six months old.  And I achieved that by using the brown lace and butterflies.  In fact, they are almost a year old and I have just been saving them for something special.  

With hugs and smiles

Laine

    Laine - this card is stunning. I love all the layers - the colours. Everything. Give a hug to Hercules from me - makes me smile that name and the fact that HERCULES is afraid of a fly - bless him! So cute and great post. TFS
