Happy Day

Hello!  Ginni here again!  I hope you’re having a great beginning to your summer!  This picture was actually taken in the fall, but it reminds me of the springtime when the sun comes out and it’s just barely warm enough to go out and enjoy the weather.  This was one of those days for my Mom, my Dad and my brother Bill.  Dad had been in isolation for a month before having gall bladder surgery and was finally able to get out and about.  Mom had been in the hospital for a couple of weeks and was finally doing well enough to go see Dad.  Bill had had neck surgery a few weeks before and was happy to be out and about himself.  Seeing the 3 of them happy and enjoying the sunshine made me grab my camera and take this picture.  It’s one of my all time fav pictures!  I used a sketch by Lucy Chesna for this page…

I used the Kreaxions Circle Cutter to make all the circles on this page.  I cut two 10” circles (one from blue patterned paper and one from yellow cardstock) then tore the top and bottom off the yellow cardstock.  I cut 3 blue circles for the scallop on the left of the pictureas a big scallop, and two more circles to hold my stickers on the bottom right of the page.   I also used Kreaxions Punch #602 for the leaves, Kreaxions Punch #603 (currently out of stock in the store) for the flowers and Kreaxions Punch #612 for the Crosses.  I used heart brads for the flower centers…  I added a few stickers and the punched crosses to finish embellishing the page.  I outlined everything with inks and pens.
