Hi All!
Isn’t this cinnamon bun so totally adorable? I love him. As you know, today is the last card of the year for me. I wanted to create something fun and happy. This is it. And it’s my sentiment for all of you.
I used gloss accents on the icing, and I made it purposefully messy so it looked more like real icing. Here is a close-up:
I want to wish everyone a blessed Christmas. I know I am counting my many blessings this year.

Hi Darlene! Well, it looks like I’m going to be the first one again to write my comment (smile). Of course that’s because your video is released about 10pm in Australia and a good way to wind up the day. I’ll miss your regular creative inspirations but am happy for you that a new chapter of your life is underway. This card was a cutie and sure to please any recipient. You made it look good enough to eat too. Before I close, here’s wishing you a blessed Christmas surrounded by the people you love the most! Here’s also wishing a fond farewell to the Live Love Cards Community as we’ve known it over the past 4 years. I’ve come a long way in my card-making skills during this time, thanks to you! So I look forward to your next video whenever you have the time and inclination to make one! Take care in the meantime!😘

dang Connie is good!
Miss you already Darlene! Have a Joyous Christmas and here’s to a brave New Year with adventures! Best to you and those you love, may you be showered with all the peace and love you richly deserve <3
You've helped me in many more ways than you will know. Some I shared with you privately; thank you is insufficient. I will greatly miss you, but as I look on your site and see your absence, I will smile imagining you chasing dreams. Very brave of you! Look forward to your next video when it is time 🙂

I enjoyed the video. Looking forward to seeing you when you are up to a new video. If you are never up to a new one, that is fine. I have enjoyed the many years of watching you create videos and sharing your love of creativity. Blessings! 🙂

What an adorable card Darlene! I love the little cinnamon bun, he is looking mighty tasty as well! I know you are on a new adventure and I sure do wish you all the best on it-I know you will do well!!!! Sending much love and blessings to you and your family this Christmas. You will be missed, even though I don’t comment much, I always watch. But it will give us something to look forward to when you have the time and can post.
Blessings, prayers and hugs,

Darlene,
I am really going to miss you. I didn’t realize how much until I kept looking for your posts! I’m happy to hear you returned to school and (in spite of finals) you are enjoying it. Good for you!!!
A while ago, I sent in a card to you for a young girl who was battling cancer. Do you know how she is doing??
I will email you privately about my previous experiences similar to yours.
God bless you, my friend, because I feel like you are one. One more thing……have a very merry and very blessed Christmas, as we celebrate the birth of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.
