Friends are flowers that never fade . . .

Today is bittersweet . . . this will be my farewell and last post I will do as a DT member for La-La Land Crafts.  It is with a sad heart that I have decided to bid farewell to Irina, the girls, and of course, Marci and Luka.  My time is stretched thin and my "babies" need me. 

When Irina asked me to join her team about a year and a half ago as a Guest Designer, I was so humbled and honored.  Then I joined the ranks as a DT member along side some very talented and creative ladies whom I've come to admire.  I will miss everyone!  Thank you Irina for allowing me the opportunity to create for you!  To the girls ~ May you inspire!  And to everyone who comes by my little blog ~ Thank you for your support and encouraging words!

On to my card.  Since this is my last DT card, I found it fitting to use Marci with Flower, which is one of the new images being released this summer!  The sentiment says it all for me . . . Friends are flowers that never fade.  This is my tribute -- I've made wonderful friendships through La-La Land Crafts and I know I will continue those friendships!


Be sure to check out the new Design Team members!  They are fabulous and will bring Marci and Luka life!  :)  Thanks for coming here for a visit!  Have a great Memorial Day weekend everyone!

  1. Hi Mama~
    First of all your card is only so perfect and it fits the description of your farewell.
    Secondly family is first, as they grow up so quickly every moment with each of them is only so cherisable that you don't want to miss anything out.
    Take care ~ and have a safe Memorial Day weekend.
    Hugs:)

I just started to get into them and bought digis and you will see them in my next few posts. you made me want to create with them. you are totally my inspiration when I create and I look to your coloring and layouts and how you used them.
