Our October Round Robin for Cards, has ended last week.
I would like to say a big
THANK YOU to our hostess, Linda.
You did an awesome job girl!
Linda had to pick a favorite card, out of all those gorgeous entries,
and the person who created it, is going to be featured on the blog here today.
So without further ado, here's the winner for October's Round Robin for Cards
miss Debbie Rybolt
And here's the card that Debbie made. Isn't that gorgeous?!!!!!!
We asked Debbie, to tell a little about herself, and here's what she said:
My name is Debbie and I am a 48 year old mother to one and grandmama to a wonderful grandson..
I work a full time job as a paramedic and I am also a part time instructor.
I use to have a passion for gardening, but now scrapping pretty much takes priority.
I love to spend time at the beach and spend time with my family. I love dogs and will pretty much do anything to help a dog in need( like jump out of the ambulance in the middle of a super busy intersection to rescue a dog from getting ran over) call me crazy.... I joined swirlydoos in 2011 and have enjoyed every minute of it. I have learned alot and have got acquainted with some really sweet people. Everyone here is always willing to help out... love being a swirly sister... Thanks everyone for making me feel part of the swirly family...... And by the way it is cold as crap here in North Carolina and I hate cold weather.... (laughing)
******************************
Congratulations Debbie!!!!
If you would like to play along, and getting a chance to being featured on our blog

This challenge is open to anyone
You have till Sunday November 4th (midnight) to sign in.
Oh and btw... I posted a tutorial, in the all about cards thread, for this project.
Have Fun!!!!

"Little Girls"
Karen Barnes
Little girls are made of daisies and butterflies and soft kitty cat purrs
And all the precious memories of times that once were.
Little girls are made of angel's wings and giggles and a firefly's glow
And all the happy feelings, deep inside, that we all know.
Little girls are made of cinnamon and bubbles and fancy white pearls
And snowflakes and rainbows and ballerina twirls.
Little girls are made of sunshine and cupcakes and fresh morning dew,
And these are the reasons, little one, why everyone loves you.

This week we bring you a beautiful layout created by Linda. The design is divine and the pink colors are perfect to showcase such a beautiful photo. The mix of different flowers look like they were freshly picked from a summer garden ad the fluttering butterflies add a lightness to the whole layout. We love the way the photo was framed with just some paper and the Creative imaginations frame. Looks fabulous. A zipper pull here, an angel there and some bling to round it out, you have done a pretty awesome job with your art on this one Linda. We love it!!

Beautiful Dreamer
Stephen Foster
Beautiful dreamer, wake unto me,
Starlight and dewdrops are waiting for thee;
Sounds of the rude world heard in the day,
Lull'd by the moonlight have all pass'd away!
Beautiful dreamer, queen of my song,
List while I woo thee with soft melody;
Gone are the cares of life's busy throng, --
Beautiful dreamer, awake unto me!
Beautiful dreamer, out on the sea
Mermaids are chaunting the wild lorelie;
Over the streamlet vapors are borne,
Waiting to fade at the bright coming morn.
Beautiful dreamer, beam on my heart,
E'en as the morn on the streamlet and sea;
Then will all clouds of sorrow depart, --
Beautiful dreamer, awake unto me!

This week we bring to you a beautiful whimsical layout from Steph. The dreamy photo is of Steph's daughter that one of her daughters friend took of her. Steph adds to the dreamy feel of the photo by creating a whimsical layout by using unicorns, butterflies and her hand made flowers to frame the photo. The wisps of flourishes lighten the whole page and the way the layers are perfectly stacked make the photo pop off the page. The page is dreamy, and beautiful and we love it!! Congrats on LOTW Steph. Beautiful work!!

This week as autumn creeps upon us in some parts of the world, we are left with the sweet taste of a summer treat. Cotton Candy. Manda frames her sweet photo's with an abundance of color and texture. Love the layering and the bits of banner softening the hard lines. The title work is as whimsical as the whole design on the page. The beautiful butterflies are the perfect touch to round out the layout. We love this one Manda. Such a sweet treat in many ways!!
