Some pretty swap cards -- Craig's home!

Hello crafters!
**
Sorry I've have not blogged in a few days, but you can see why above. Each of the three cards you see are for a floral swap on Splitcoast stampers. I made six of each card!
**
Stamp Credits -- Sunflower card image is from Great impressions
-- little girl with flower image is from Whipper Snapper
-- duck is from Penny black
***
For each of the cards I improvise a sketch challenge from my stash of sketches and other ideas and had a great time mixing and matching colors. The little girl card has a base of teal, I happen to notice that the sweater I was wearing that day was the same color.
**
My oldest son Craig is home! He arrived yesterday afternoon and we celebrated last evening by watching a movie together as a family! Originally he was going to be stationed near by at Andrews Air force base. He found out yesterday he is going to be even closer to home at Ft. Meade!
**
Feel free to CASE the card ideas, just remember they are my personal property and should not be re-created for publication or sell of any kind.
** Stamp happy, blog candy will start tomorrow, so stay tuned!

Such pretty cards, Loretta. I like how you worked an image besides flowers into some of them. Great thinking outside the box!

I know you're glowing with having Craig home. There's nothing that makes a mom happier than having her kids with her. :) Have a wonderful time together. It's fabulous news that he's going to be stationed even closer to you.
