Life becomes full of Love when we fully embrace it -

I'm glad you didn't stop the girly-ness because your cards are fabulous! I LOVE pink and green and all the sparkle and her ruffled petticoat. I wore petticoats when I was a little girl and the fuller the better. Could never seem to get them full enough. Guess Mom didn't want me to look like a ballerina. Love the second card, too. The layered dies remind me of her petticoat. I'm totally good with the bright colors. As for the glitter getting everywhere, I absolutely cracked up when I came to the photo of your sweet doggie!
Gorgeous cards, Donna!
So cute thanks for sharing a besties uk -Carol uk DT xx
This is a winning card. You did a fabulous job with the coloring, flowers and glitter. Absolutely gorgeous. Nancy Hill - Hugs
Both of these cards are gorgeous Donna. I love all the sparkle, flowers, hearts and wonderful colours you've used xx
Donna, my darling friend, these are the sweetest bursts of sunshiny love! The vibrancy is gorgeous and I always adore your use of dies. The Sue Wilson heart is one of my favorites to use and see from others. Your sparkling heart shimmers in all you do.
I also want to let you know that my Blogger presence will continue to be limited due to my sister receiving a heartbreaking diagnosis. My amazing DT leaders have offered any time off needed, although I hope to be back later this week or next. I will be visiting my crafty friends as I can, so please know if I disappear it is solely to take care of my family that continues to get bombarded with unhappy news. Thank you for being such a beautiful friend.. and inspiring me every moment I get to visit your blog. You are always in my prayers and in heart!
Hugs and blessings,
Karen

Love the girlie girl card. So cute. :-)
Nothing wrong with Girly This card is beautiful ..........Lis
Same image, same color schemes but how different they look! Love posts like this, so inspirational.
Love the softness and girliness of your first, love that ribbon and all the flowers, and your second card is a real eye catcher with the bold colors and it gets extra points for being flat for postage purpose!
Gorgeous, and as always your coloring is amazing!!!

This is darling! It's Sherri Baldy's fault that the card is girly. She brings out the girly in all of us, lol. Well done. I pinned of course. https://www.pinterest.com/pin/415386765611696492/
I'm so glad you posted these on facebook for some reason I did n0ot see this posting. Both of the card are more them wonderful. The easel card has gorgeous flowers and I love her in pink you colored her perfect. Love the sentiment all the wonderful layers and choice of colors. I know how it is with glitter but it is so amazing. Loving the distress look, three layers of sewing, how you did the background a little darker and her green eyes. You really out done yourself.
Hugs Pat
How gorgeous and sweet does she look Donna, totally adorable and girly which works for me. Two very very pretty cards.
Join the club, it doesn't matter what I make it just seems to turn out neat and pretty which sometimes defeats the object of what I am trying to do. Ahhhh well!!!

What a delightfully girly project, Donna. It would have been SO wrong not to glitter-fy your GS. :) Thanks for joining the “Love Actually” challenge at Eclectic Ellapu.
