Hi Crafty friends,

To all my gorgeous followers that saw my last SC card and I mentioned a mistake, that is so sweet that you all read my post AND it must have been obvious as you all saw I missed colouring the eyes hehe but you were all so lovely about it, I loved reading the comments. 

This little scene is the combination of a Lacy Sunshine  girl and Make it Crafty background, I thought they go well together. I used the PNG file versions of each image so I could add her to the background.
