Let Your Dreams Soar

I hope you enjoyed a great weekend. Ours was full of sad goodbyes as we said farewell to our American friends. Goodbyes are such a big part of our life being expats, and we still have a hard time every time we do it. Our younger ones were hit the hardest. We remind them that it's difficult and we cry because we feel loved. God has given us so many wonderful friends and family whom we miss and who miss us back and what a blessing that is!

On a different note, I was able to create with some of my new TAC stamps, Fairy Wishes.The papers are K&Company. It's a  new color combo for me: melon, aqua and brown, but I think I like it and will use it again.
Let your dreams
Here's the stamp set in its entirety, Fairy Wishes:
I'm entering this to the Moxie FabWorld's Fanatical About Botanical Challenge. Life's been so busy all summer. I've missed participating in my favorite challenges. Make it a great Monday!

    Your card is so beautiful, Nina. The colors are so soft, and the stamps are amazing! Thanks for sharing :) So sorry about the goodbyes. We have a tough one coming up on the 21st - DD currently lives about 45 min. away, so we see her often. She's taken a wonderful job about 15 hours from here. It's bittersweet, as she's been gone for so many years. We've only had her back in our area for 2.5 years, and here she's leaving us again...sigh... I'll be thinking about you and your girls!

    Wow, this card is beautiful! It is hard to say goodbye so I don't...I just say 'til next time. On another topic, do you have instructions on how to make that beautiful bow?

    fabulous card Nina, and I love the way you have layered the butterfly over the butterfly on the bg stamp :-) Great colour together too.
    Yup - I don't like goodbyes either ;-(
    Blessings
