Okay…so it’s not a card…LOL I just wanted to demonstrate how versatile these digital images are. They’re so fun when you can resize them and apply them to different projects! My boyfriend pat, wanted me to color in this digi image from The Doodle Pantry so that he could frame it. He used one of my Spellbinder dies with some blue CS to make an inside mat around the image. In addition, I used my Copic Markers to color it up.
He’s into saltwater reefkeeping so, I wanted to make it special for him. I have also resized and reprinted some other images to go with this one. Including a single image seahorse and the corals. I just need to color them in and then I’ll have a trio of pictures to hang on the wall. He purchased the frames as a set at Michaels. I really love the strong accent of the black around the frame. I think it really emphasizes the image. This image is available for purchase at The Doodle Pantry if your interested in making some for yourself. 
TFL!

I couldn’t let another day go by without sharing with you a beautiful blog award I received from my wonderful friend nancy. I’ve missed her and I’m so glad she’s feeling better and back into the crafting community. Welcome back nancy! and a big thankyou to you for this lovely gesture of friendship. *BIG HUGS* I feel flattered and appreciate being chosen to receive this.
Now, here’s the conditions for receiving this award:
1. You need to thank the person who sent it. Thankyou SO much nancy!!
2. You need to post a favorite photo on your blog. This is one I’m very proud of as I have a lot of love and respect for my sister. There’s just the two of us in our family but, we’ve grown a friendship that is absolutely wonderful.
I couldn’t just choose one so I have to show you a picture of my other two best friends. My boyfriend pat and our little doggie pinky getting her a favorite treatment…a bath…LOL NOT!! I love the look on her face.. 
3. Capture the award and post it on your blog.
4. List three things you like about yourself : a) I like the fact that I’m finally focusing on taking better care of myself by exercising and getting back in shape. b) I love how I feel “whole” having such wonderful friends online. c) I’m focused on trying to get out of debt and make a better life for myself financially. That’s not always easy but, I’m sure it will be worth it.
5. Choose five blogs with which to share this award. I too, always find it difficult to narrow it down to just a few ppl. when there’s so many wonderful friends in my life. Here are the 5 that I have chosen:
1. Georgia Ehrmann

3. Pat Dadisman
4.Becky Reed
5. Cassie Trask
