One's destination is never a place..

 I had overlooked posting this earlier in the month, but as the challenge is still ongoing, it can serve as a reminder post.

I have used a digital paper from PixelScrapper.  The images are (from top to bottom) by Digi Darla , Lacy Sunshine (now called The Colour of Love) and Delicious Doodles.  Colouring is with copic markers.  I also added some text stamping.

The two favourite card styles that I tend to are CAS and following sketches.  For this one, it is kind of a bit of both.

I have used papers from Trimgym for the background and matted with brown cardstock from Rosie's Studio.  The image is from Digi Darla with a sentiment added from Daizeefli.  I have also used some brown mesh ribbon and a Pacifica embellishment.  Colouring is with my copic markers.

The upside down sketch.......

...that wasn't meant to be upside down!  I was busy putting this card together and was about to add my image when I realised that the card was upside down.  I turned the image up the other way and problem solved!  Fortunately, the paper works either way up!  It has been one of those months!

Singing in the Rain

I am not going to claim that I remember this song at all from when it first came out!  I googled it and discovered it was written in 1929 - long before I was born.  However, it is one of those songs that seemed to still be around when I was growing up (probably still showing my age a bit here!).
