Hello there!
I hope you are all doing okay?
Well, I did mean to post yesterday and wish my lovely friend Stella a very
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!
Thing was, we only arrived home on Monday evening after spending 4 nights in The Netherlands, Stella's home city of Groningen to be exact... And I was totally exhausted!
We had the most amazing time with Stella and her family
Here we are having dinner with Stella, her lovely husband Marcel and their youngest son (my second son) Martijn. Some of you may remember that Martijn spent 6 months here in Liverpool at our University and we became very close...
I will share more photos of our trip once I've had time to sort them ... My goodness, they took us just about everywhere and we LOVED The Netherlands!
For now I'll share the card I made for Stella
A watercolour BG with some of the dies also cut from my watercoloured pieces
For the first time I was able to deliver this personally, even though her actual birthday was the day after we left
I'm aware that I have a ton of catching up to do, but Pat will be here in a few hours so it may be later in the week...
Have a great day!
Till soon
~ Ros ~

Everyone looks so healthy and happy! I love seeing pics from wherever you go, Ros. It would leave me exhausted, but in good spirits. Love the card you made. Those bubbles and the underwater effect -- very cool! Enjoy Pat and getting back into the routine!

Super card Ros...I love your design and of course I love blue and greens too. I expect this went down well with your friend and you had a good trip!
Welcome home, Ros! How wonderful that you went on holiday to spend time with Stella and her family! Your card for her is spectacular! You really manage to make a few splotches of watercolor evoke whatever you want, whether it be ocean, or sky, or sunset, etc.! I'm in awe!! Hugs, Darnell
What a fabulous watery card and so great you were able to hand deliver.

Glad you had fun in The Netherlands! Love your beautiful card too!
It has beena-m-a-z-i-n-g. It was so lovely to have you here and I am so happy that we could show you a bit of Groningen and the Netherlands. Your card is STUNNING! In real it's even more gorgeous. Did you get some sleep and feeling less exhausted? It sure were busy days.... Thinking of you and miss you!!
