Hi folks,

Thunderstorms as I schedule this post.  No complaints though because we really need the rain.

It's time for a new challenge at

For my card I've gone back to a much loved style that is not very trendy but still one I like.
and I know you are probably thinking I've lost the plot putting a ribbon on a masculine card.  
Well.. it is supposed to represent a bowtie as this card is going to a very dapper fellow.

```~~~ Easter ~~~```

Hello everyone
,

Rainy Easter weekend for us, a bit milder out though making the lawns green up.

I walked along the lake shore this week and noticed the boats are

starting to come ...a sure sign of Spring.

I also noticed the pair of Red Neck Grebe are back.

 Everyone is anxious for them to have babies ~ the past two years the water

has been too high and their nest has been submerged...sigh!

..on to my post.  I've an Easter card for you today that I made several weeks ago.

It features an image and sentiment from Mo's Digital Pencil.

Coloured with Copics

Die cuts are Memory Box

Ribbon from Stamp Simply Ribbon Store

Sparkle paper - the $ Store

I've another picture for you..this features the single Mute Swan that resides

at the marina...(there are others but this guy is alone)   

Not sure what happened to it's mate but it makes me sad to think of it.

The rest of the flock always swim in a group.  So elegant to watch them diving and skimming along.

There were cygnets for us to watch last summer. Swans are wonderful parents.

I would like to enter the following challenges:
