Precious Moments....

You will have to forgive the quality of the photos...just when I was ready to take the pictures the skies got darker and darker and now we are in for a thunderstorm at any moment, you can hear the rumbles.

Today I wanted to make a card for our neighbours that are moving away to another town. I will miss them very much. I wanted a special card, so I when I saw Norma's Criss Cross Card on her blog I thought it was perfect. Annette has a great tutorial on how to make these here!

When I was a little girl I used to collect these Precious Moments figures. How darling are they!


I coloured both images up with copics and shaded with a prisma pencil, Slate Blue.




Have a wonderful day. Thank-you so much for popping in for a visit. Your comments mean so much.
