New stash, New Year and New Baby

We returned from Florida on 31 December.  I came back with the same respiratory bug that I took with me and which is still plaguing me sadly.  The hubster had knee replacement surgery on 4 January so these last 10 days have been spent visiting him on a daily basis and then coming home to rest from my own exertions.   I'm hoping that in the words of the pop group D:Ream "Things can only get better"!

My friends at Everybody Art Challenge are still enjoying their Christmas vacation but challenges will recommence on 28 January 2025. 

Today I have used this sweet "Big Brother" image from Mo’s Digital Pencil which is available in her shop HERE.  Mo has a curly haired version HERE. And there are Big Sister versions too HERE.  I LOVE LOVE LOVE how inclusive Mo is with so many of her images.

My card was made to welcome baby Daisy Grace to the lovely family of some very dear friends of ours.  Daisy's big brother Jacob is thrilled with his new baby sister.  I used some old dies which had previously remained unused (so they were still new to me) in addition to this new stamp 

There is a Facebook page where members can upload their Mo Manning creations and we look forward to seeing you there. It's easy to become a member.  Just click HERE.  And check out Mo's Dream Team Blog HERE for inspiration from my teamies.    Mo now has FOUR levels of Patron to choose from - one of which is absolutely FREE and includes regular free digis.  Paid memberships start at just $2.50 per month (plus tax where applicable) and include even more digi images plus coupons!  Please do go and check it out.  Remember you can access the lowest tier and a freebie for free!  You can find Mo's Patreon Page HERE

By the way, if you would prefer to see my cards on Facebook, please look for Lesley Kollinsky Grenouille Greetings HERE
