Just Us Girls #824 ~ Happy Birthday

 

Check out this fun vibrant Mood Board Carol Mc has for us at Just Us Girls this week! See that sailboat, the arch shapes and the orange stripes? Well, I turned them into this...


The little boat if from a MFT set, the scalloped arch is SSS and the sentiment an oldie by DeNami Design. Simple and cute. Just what I needed after taking a fall onto the concrete patio. Missed the last step and down I went. Sprained my ankle and wrist, hit my head, bruised my shoulder, scraped my knuckles... OY! Things are healing. Colorful, but healing!

I look forward to seeing your cards in our gallery. 

It's sure to be a bright and happy one this week!

  16. Oh no--sounds like a bad fall, Lisa! So scary! Reminds me of the one I took where I really messed up my hand and broke my glasses frame, but luckily didn't damage either replaced joint. I'm super aware of steps now! You are always so creative using mood boards and this is no exception! So cute!
