A celebration of the School Holidays, Youth and Summer

Good evening.  Oh it is so nice to be back.  Some of you may know that my little daughter Madalyn has been in hospital again .. this time with a broken arm.  She is 2.5 years old and the first time she ever tried to climb out of her cot ... of course she fell quite heavily and got a huge knock on the head and a broken arm.  Sigh ......

So out went the cot and we got her a 'big girl's bed' so of course that has meant a lot of change for my little one .. and she does not do well with change.  I haven't been getting much sleep ... and it is very hard to get a toddler to stay in bed.  But tonight she was in bed and asleep by her usual 7pm so I had time to create.  Fingers crossed she sleeps through the night tonight!

So enough waffling on ... here is what I created.  Very simple as I just wanted to get something coloured and completed and hip hip hooray!  I did.

 I have used this really cute image from Tiddly Inks called Going Swimming Girl.  I have coloured her using copic markers ... and didn't if feel good!  Oh how I have missed my colouring.

I have then just layered different coloured cards and cut some edges to represent 'waves'.  Some little hand cut starfish just to add something more and done.

I'm thrilled with how her hair turned out!

Thanks for stopping by ...
