Don't you just love this little girl - she is just adorable. I received her in a RAK from my dear Twisted Sister Peggy (aka Marilyn Prestonn). Peggy is hosting the Colour Challenge on SCS so it was fitting that I used this image.
This card is also for Mothermark's Tea Party Tuesday: http://mothermark.blogspot.com/
...I have combined last weeks and this weeks - ha! Cindy, dar-r-rling, I have to be honest and say I had every intention of playing last week - even 'had me a lighthouse' but somehow along the way I got distracted BUT...do not fear...along the way I am collecting clues for this weeks Murder Mystery....so am multi tasking Dar-r-r-ling and making this card for both weeks - and that is what I have to say about that!!
This is a very quick post from me (shock horror) as it is nearly time for school pick up - once the kids get home there will be no time for this...so here you have it....although I do have to say Cindy - I have found a 'bobby' in Craft Central, so hope to make another appearance this week - maybe with the guilty party (maybe not too!! LOL!!)
I am also slipping this into the Doubledog Dare Challenge, honouring gals of all ages: Forums at Splitcoaststampers. It is also for the Pile It On Challenge: http://pileitonchallenge.blogspot.com/
where it is all about three - I have used three brads AND the sentiment has three words in it (very sneaky with that one!)

Lovely to see you here this week, Lovely Linda. And with a real little Miss Scarlett instead of some of those mutton-dressed-as-lamb ones that have been drifting around. Or is this a picture from the family album, and while in prison awaiting sentence she is reminiscing over her happy childhood and wondering what went wrong, when, where and why?
Lovely card - I always like seaside ones.

This image is wonderful and you colored it so well. It works for both challenges and is so, so pretty. The charm is so perfect and I love how you put it on the ribbon. Lovely, just like you!

A very sweet girl in your card, I went to Florida when I was about that age and we had great fun on the beach. This image always brings that to mind. Your card is beautiful!

Ah Linda, what we do to those precious children...look at her, she is right outside a murder scene, what a precious darling. I love that you played the cc and that you used this beautiful girly just for me.
Love your story about she collecting evidence. Yep, she better stay outside and innocent by the beach, for you might get child services on your doorstep. LOL
You are just the sweetest Linda,, I love you and it's always a fun adventure to walk through your gallery my friend. Triple hugsxo

Hi Lovely Linda! Your card is Lovely! I wondered about you last week but then I know how life goes! So much to do, not enough time to do it!
What a precious, precious image! You did really good putting color to this....I love that she is methodically picking up her clues......and all the while enjoying the scenery around the light house! Good job combing two in one!
Thanks for coming and bringing this precious card to the tea party. Peggy did good both at hosting the challenge and sending you this image!
