Anita, I’m so happy to see that darling French Hen – that’s a long flight for a chicken, you know? She couldn’t look sweeter, or happier holding those jolly little balloons! A trio of delight, mon amie!!

Each one of these is fabulous! I love the little French hen with his little beret and balloons, the Bears look so sweet holding the ‘happy’ with the cool coloured confetti behind and your rainbow shimmery sky with the crisp die cut on the third is stunning! xxx
Anita, fabulous collection of cards. I am loving all the wonderful colors you’ve got going on in your fantastic clean style.
Wow, look at these fabulous cards Anita!!! I love each one, they are so fun and so cheerful and so happy feeling! Who doesn’t love happy feeling?!!!
So many beautiful and bright cards Anita! Loving that sweet French hen so much! The brightly colored confetti is as happy as can be! The beautifully colored rainbow over the sweet town is simply beautiful and so well done! Hugs and thanks so much for the Happy Mail!
Such a lovely combination of bright white and rainbow. Thank you for sharing with us at AAA Cards.
These are all just as cute as they can be Anita! I knew I recognized Michele’s beret wearing chicken! I love the colorful polka dots behind the darling bears. And your rainbow card is full of fun. Marvelous works as always!
I’m just going to say Wow, Wow and Wow again. They are all glorious. Though I love the bears…my favourite has to be that little chickie. x
An amazing beautiful collection of cards, so clean and colourful. The ink blended rainbow is flawless. Thanks for playing along at AAA Cards
Wow, wow wow! Yes 3 wows for 3 cards my friend! You are just an awesome card maker/ designer! Love them all and yes for that sweet French hen in the CASology gallery!

Love the explosion of colour on the last card and super dimension on the first. Have a great week x
All three cards are gorgeous, but the third with those rainbow rays is just so eye catching. Thanks for playing at AAA Cards.
Three fabulous cards Anita but your balloon card is supercute! Love the white sentiment and textured background. So glad you could join us for the CASology anniversary challenge!
Love the colourful cards! The rainbow and houses is such a great way to use that die, the bears are so sweet and thecombination of the hen and balloons is such a clever beauty! Hope you have a fun and sunny week!
Your card caught my eye in the Essentials by Ellen Pin Sights gallery.
I love that you used two bears holding the happy sign and the way you added the glasses to make them a him and a her! I just bought that stamp, so thanks for the ideas.
I would love for you to visit my blog at limegreengiggles.com
These are all so awesome! Love each one!
A trio of delight is what we have here. Thanks in part to some wonderful friends, it sounds like. What a lovely post. Full of wonderful cards and the love of friends. Makes my heart happy to see and hear about it. You did a marvelous job on these cards. Smiles!
A delightful trio of fabulous creations! Your first card is so dang cute – love the soft colors of your flawlessly blended balloons! 2nd card is so flippin’ cute – totally made my heart smile. Love their expression! Third card is ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!!! The inked rainbow looks so cool with the water droplet ‘splatter’. A tremendous trio of yumminess!
Another blistering hot day here today! We are babysitting Ruuk for a couple of weeks….he does NOT like the heat. Neither do I!
Your chickie with balloons is just so cute – and perfectly CAS! So happy you could join in the 5th Anniversary celebration at CASology.
wow!! what an amazing set of cards, anita!! each card is so different, but showcase your clean and simple style to perfection!
What a beautiful array, Anita; I couldn’t choose a favorite ! Thanks for sharing them with us at the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday challenge!
Saint Vache!!!!! (I’m sure that’s wrong.) Surprise, surprise…triplets! What a bevy of beauty. Each card is a little masterpiece. That French Hen is just perfect perched on you rainbow of stripes…and those masked balloons (swoon). Following that up with your charming bears delights me. Love the colored confetti background and the beautifully stamped sentiment. Then you totally knock me for a loop with that amazing rainbow. Laura Bassen hasn’t got anything on you…this is perfect backdrop for the diecut. You’ve been a busy girl. I’m complete gaga over every card. Hugs across the wide sea…Coni
Anita! Three amazing cards, and that signature paper of yours always pulls at my heart strings! That chicken is fabulous…the whole layout of your CAS card is amazing! Thanks for celebrating with us this week at CASology and for your faithful participation over the years!
Your cards are all fantastic and amazing. I am always so inspired when I come by for a visit. Thanks so much for playing along at CASology this week.
Your trio of card is sensational! Don’t know which one I like more: the charming French hen, those adorable bears with the colorful dots or that spectacular rainbow sky behind the white landscape! I hope you had as much fun creating them as I have admiring them!
These are all so fantastic, Anita! Love that each has a bit of rainbow goodness. The little French hen is such a fun image and the Ellen Hutson bear is one of my favorites. And your rainbow sky makes that neighborhood so full of happiness!

They’re all fabulous, Anita, but that little French hen has stolen my heart!
Can anyone spell W-I-N-N-E-R-S??? You nailed it saying these are all bright, colorful, happy, and fun, Anita! I couldn’t have said it better!

Hola, Anita! I LOVE those polka dots! Cute cards. Marisela
Such cute cards hard to say which is my favorite. Guess because you live in France I will pick the hen with adorable balloons. Merci
So much fun , that hen with it’s beret! And that colorful dotty background – again fun and playful! As well as perfectly CAS! Laura Bassen doesn’t own rainbow sponging…love those wate splats on it!
Three perfect rainbow cards but the last one is definitely my favourite…it’s a winner for sure! How many attempts did it take to get that rainbow so perfect?!
Three top creations Anita…. those bears though are just such fun holding the greeting! Love the rainbow sky for a new home card, great design 🙂 x
Thousands of apologies for my late visits; it’s been one incredibly busy summer….and no signs of letting up for a little bit. Having fun, with occasional bout of frazzle; something I know you understand perfectly *grin* Your hen and bears are too adorable, but the show-stopper for me is your gorgeous “new home” card that is prominently displayed in MY new home! LOVE it…and YOU for having sent it my way! Thank you, dear friend!
Hugs and love,
