Fun in the sun - FFFC #140

Good morning everyone and happy Friday! Yes, it is already Friday and it is time for a new challenge at Fussy and Fancy Friday Challenges. The theme for this fortnight, "Fun in the Sun". This new challenge is hosted by the talented Nikki and it is sponsored by one of my favorite stores, Magnolia-licious.

My card for this challenge is a very special one, first, because I created it for my nephew's twin girls birthday. These two little girls have stolen my heart and as you can see, they really like to have fun in the sun.

The card is also special, because this will be my last challenge with the Fussy and Fancy team, this has been a difficult decision because this team is like a family. Sheryl and all the DTs are so lovely and supportive that it is really hard to leave, but life has become so complicated that it is very hard for me to make some time for crafting. To Sheryl and all the Fussy and Fancy ladies, thanks for all your support and for being part of this memorable time of my life...memorable and happy!

Lets take a look at my card.
