fMorning everyone. It feels so good to be blogging a card again. I so want to craft, and have tons of new stash but the garden has been taking up a lot of my time and both of my daughters have birthdays in the next week. If I could shut my craftroom door and switch off for a day I would. But a day of buying presses, cake and shop bought cards - EEK!!
Anyway, its another fab challenge for you over at the LOTV Challenge Blog and this weeks we have a colour combo of Pink/Blue. Because of time I've been nawty and used one of the LOTV Die Cards but they are gorgeous anyway and served its purpose. I've added lots of embellishments and sparkle on this. Cant do a card without Flowers and Sparkle.
Papers from Crafty Secrets. WO Flowers, Ribbon, Twine and Buttons from Crafty Emmas Store.
Punches, Dies, Stickles and a White Viva Pearl Pen to complete.
This weeks sponsor is "The Ribbon Girl".

Jessica went off to Milawi on Sunday for the month. She will be celebrating her 16th birthday out there but no contact so cant even text her. Zoes 9 on friday and were off to the circus!
The garden is finally getting there. Completed my steps and new back fence. Decking done and started laying the main patio yesterday. As long as it stays dry hopefully be finished by the end of next week.
Thanks for looking.
