Good morning hope your week is going well and a big thank you for all your good wishes for Dave yesterday. His bone scan was clear and his blood results were only slightly up which is all good news. It means he doesn't need to start his next lot of treatment just yet. He will have a further CT and Bone Scan in October so we are keeping on with our Positive Mental Attitude. Also my daughter is starting to feel better so it was cause for celebration in our house last night! We know Dave still has the cancer but the longer it goes before spreading the better it is and we intend to get on with life!
Today sees another round of inspiration from the DT over at the Digital Delights Blog and it also coincides with a great new release. Here is my card:
I got to play with the gorgeous new Beach Babe Britt which is available here. I coloured her with my Copics and added Glamour Dust to her hat. The papers are a variety of digital ones I cut using my Spellbinders A2 Curved Borders to look like sand, sea and sky (hopefully. The starfish is a button I have had for ages I cut the shank off and glued it on. The little vial I filled with micro beads to look like sand. Just some little banners and twine to finish off.
Here is another view:
Please take a look at the rest of the release and DT work at The Digital Delights Blog. Also, today sees the start of a new challenge at Delightful Challenges and the theme this week is All Tied Up with the winner receiving a $10 voucher for Scrapyland.

I sam always amazed at how well you do keeping a balance to your life. You have lots of worrisome times with Dave's illness and you have all been through so much with poor little baby...and yet you produce stunning cards through it all.
You deserve a medal as the most dedicated, focused card maker...whose mojo is still intact through balancing a busy life and taking time to be kind and caring to relatives and friends.
Well done you!
Sweet and fun card!
That's so darn clever, Suzie! I love your sand and the fun bunting!
this is gorgeous Susan - I love the papers and how you have created a scene with them - it is so effective. So pleased to hear it was good news at the hospital for Dave - onward and upward is the only way to go. Have a great weekend hugs Judith x
I am glad you have had positive news about Dave and that your Daughter is feeling better! That's brilliant! I am sending positive happy thoughts and vibes too! Hope you get them! Your card is fab, love the banner and the bright colours, really lovely! xx
Super cute! I am ready for the beach too!
Lovely, thanks for sharing with us at CCCB!
