Hello everyone, so nice to be back cardmaking after a 2 week break with the children. Don't know about you but it played havoc with my crafting. I hardly done any as we went on lots of day trips and enjoyed the lovely sunshine. Even managed to get hubby to take a few extra days.
So onto this weeks challenge over at Lili of the Valley and with the Royal Wedding upon us, this weeks theme is "Love Is In The Air".
I just love these card blanks from Craftwork Cards, gives real definition I think. The image is from the LOTV Die Cut Sheets. This is "Fun Time Teddies".
Used Purple Bazzill, a sheet from 7 Gypsies, my favourite TH Butterfly Stamp, Wild Orchid Flowers, Stickles, Viva Pearl Pens, Gold Glimmer Mist, Adirondaak Paint Dabbers, Pearls from Hobby House, Punched Leaves and Photo Turns and the Sentiment is LOTV from the new Additions Range.
I got another 4 Top 3 Blinkies over the last few days, it really is a great boost when your mojo is not on form and always puts a smile on my face.
Right, off to the dentist this morning then lots of catching up to do in Blogland and will try and find some time over the next few days. I've neglected so many. Another long weekend, hooray and my Birthday on saturday though nothings planned atm.
My candy is posted at the top of my blog if you'd like to enter, open to all.

I know what its like with not being able to craft whilst the kids are off school as I have been at home with my 6 year old daughter! Definately plays havoc with trying to get any crafting done lol!
