Card "Flow #3" by Jackie - Ambassador

 Gooooood morning, it's February now so spring is a little closer! Yay! Can't wait! That's why I decided to make a pretty floral card with vivid colouring as an antidote to gloomy weather.

 Hello there and a Very Happy New Year to all! As we are in the era of "New" I decided to make a new baby card. Nothing is newer than a new life! My darling grandson loves "dinies" so I thought of him when I made this. I am sure his mummy wishes he was better at sleeping!
