was a sad day yesterday as my next door neighbours have now sold and moved.. been the best neighbours ever for the last 12years..won`t be the same without Andy, Helen and sweet little Elsie and ofcause Treacle the cat..... made me think we have been here for 18 years..... Paul and my first home together and looks like our retirement home!!..cutting out the inbetween ones , as just cannot afford to move and buy bigger........ just hope our new neighbours are as nice....

Fabulous card Nessy. I love how you used three images to creat your card. The images of the little boys couldn't be cutier. I love the destressing and the added stitching. Just a really fun card all around. YOur son's hair cut looks great. So handsom.. It is hard to have such good neighbors leave. I have had that happen to me too. I am sure you will really miss them. But, emailing and the internet makes it so much easier to stay in touch. have a great weekend.
Hugs, Nancy SSW-DT

Oh wow Nessy, your creation is just brilliant!! What a fun layout and gorgeous coloring!! :)
Your boy is a handsome young fellow with his new hair cut!! :)
Well my jaw just dropped with the beauty of this masterpiece Nessy! This is absolutely amazing work. Where do I begin? The scene you've created is outstanding - love how you've positioned the boy on the swing hanging from the bow. BEautiful papers and colors, your outstanding coloring and composition, the wonderful bows. I could write a whole book on all the details I see and love! Best of luck in the SSW challenge - this is truly magnificent!
Love that you shared a picture of your adorable son. Love his new style!
