I'm alive!

It has been a week of high drama, I tell you. I can't remember the last time I went this long without posting. Not to overshare, but to sum it up, here are two points:
1) diabetes sucks
2) don't ignore that little voice that says "go to the doctor"
And I also give thanks for quick-acting antibiotics. Yay!
And how's that for a segue into this card:

Supplies: papers from Basic Grey "Lauderdale;"
image from Mo Manning; watercoloured with distress inks;
Palette Noir ink; Spiced Marmalade distress ink; Hero Arts sentiments

Supplies: papers from Basic Grey "Little Black Dress;"
image from Mo Manning;
watercoloured with distress inks;
Making Memories brads; Hero Arts sentiment

Supplies: papers (including fussy-cut clocks) from Bo Bunny;
image from Mo Manning; watercoloured with distress inks &
Stampin' Up watercolour pencils

Supplies: papers from Kaisercraft;
image from Mo Manning; watercoloured with distress inks;
Memento London Fog ink; hero arts sentiments;
Offray ribbon

Most of the pictures we took during our trip to the wildlife park were of the animals, but there are a couple of shots I wanted to share with you:
Riley, the birthday boy!

Connor the goofy face maker 

Abraham Lincoln, the rhea. It's a feather - and it was hilarious!
If you made it this far, I've got a question - do you use Picasa for photo editing? Can you help me figure out how to insert a GIF watermark? I went through the help process and can't find the *^&^* 'insert' command!  Ugh.
xoxo,
Jessi

That is one funny looking bird and I love Connor's goofy grin! :)

The patterned paper on that first card rocks and the White Rabbit surrounded by all the clocks cracked me up!

Fourth I made it to the bottom :-))) and I think you are inside my brain...I just got sent a watermark to use and I use picasa and I don't have a clue how to add it to my photos. If you find help would you mind sharing. I really don't want to pull my hair out. I kinda like it long. (you can email me) If I get an answer, I will email you.

Sorry for your health scare, Jessi, but I'm glad you are recovering now! I love these cards. They are so cute and happy! My favourite is the first one with all the sentiments. I think I did a little jump, too! LOL It looked like a fun outing with the boys! I don't use Picasa so I can't offer any suggestions.
