Lois's Birthday -2012

This card was made for my wonderful sister in law and  I used Bugaboo's ' JJ  Tequila and Shoes' image. The sentiment is part of the same set. My SIL is a 'winter' so I always think of her in black, greys,  reds etc. so of course her card had to be in those colours. We will be going out to the lake where I grew up this week-end to a big family get together to celebrate her and my brothers birthday. Will be posting his card soon!

  4. Fab card Glenda and snap I have used a Bugaboo today too! These images are just perfect for friends cards I think the cute ones, although lovely, aren't always suitable for adults. Your SIL will love it and I love the colours you have used. Your family get together by the lake sounds wonderful - hope you have a fab time! Hugs Susan xx

  13. I love the color combo and what a way to make the bugaboo image pop. Just a wonderful card. I have to ask you, do you color your image first then put your card together or reverse? joann sassy raggedy
