*Mistery Numero Tre*



* All picture can be enlarged by clikking on each*

 ~~* Hello wonderful friends and peeps :o)

My stamping friend Gael (mamadwawa) is the hostess for the new, fun round of mistery.

She sent us all beautiful stamped images of a young girl intent in reading

a book and one of a lil kitten too {Think Big, from Artful Inkables}

I strongly suspect it is in honour of her own Princess's ( aka daughter Alafair)

passion for books and her loving furry,cuddly friends too...n'est pas Gael?? *wink*

The due date of the swap also coincides with Alafair's Birthday, so I am sending

her very *HAPPY BIRTHDAY WISHES* across the miles,even if I'm a bit early :o)

I absolutly LOVE this image and had so much fun coloring it with chalks -one of my favorite medium- For these card I wanted to somehow capture a lil scenery in a flowery meadow...
Well,the blue backround was too much ...'blue'
for my liking, so I added striped designer paper that combined with a flowery d/p bottom (although most gets hidden by the cut out images and embellishments)...
Nonetheless, I  still like the obtained results Cards turned out bright and cheerful, and I hope that YOU,my friendly followers ,like it as well....
Unfortunatly my camera has been acting out quite funny lately...It seems that sometimes it works still fine but other time it PMesses too!! LOL
