Here is my second entry for the FS card today. I just had fun with it. Congrats again Lori, yours is a beautiful place to visit. I will come again! I used this sweet turtle as inspiration:
This card inspired me to be "smitten" with myself, so I made a to do list for myself. We all should have one. It reads like this:
1- Take a bubble bath
2- Phone a friend
3- Make a card
4- Sing a song
5- Go for a long walk
6- Read a good book
My writing is off, but when making a to do list it's allowed. LOL
Changes: -Turtle, but different image, used a punch to make a journal page, different sentiment, red paper, and numbers from an old kit I had from forever in time.
Thanks for looking and enjoy.

My cher amie Peggy, I think this card is just lovely and thoughtful - as well as artistic!! I love the font that you used for Enjoy Your Day - I think that is Kim Hughes - n'est pas?? And then - you have created a wonderful list of things to to enjoy one's day - and your ideas are lovely! Just today - I phoned a dear friend - named Peggy - and just yakking with her and sharing our thoughts boosted my day like nothing else could!! Thanks so much Peggy - talking with you was wonderful -even more than I expected !!
And then I did number 5 - I took my happy dog daisy for a walk- and I have yet to have that bubble bath -and heaven knows I need one! I hope to make a card - and just now I have a coke slurppee to sit with and read a good book as you suggested - Slumdog Millionaire...
Maybe I will even make a card today!! See - this card is sooo you - and it also lovely!! Your writing is beautiful - as are your ideas of how to have a great day!
The colours are so bright and wonderful - just the kind of thing I love myself!! And that creature -that turtle - adds just the perfect touch of whimsey!!!! I love the little white rectangles along the edge - it really sets off the coral!!
Mon chou - J'amour c'ette carte!! I have no idea why you do not like it!! Cette carte est magnifique!!!
