Floral 40th

Just dropping by tonight with a quick card that I made for a friend who needed
a card for a girl in her office.
I didn't want too much detail but wanted it to be 'pretty'.
I have had these large number dies for along time and love using them as
 they are such a statement on a card.

Life is a bit hectic at the moment so do apologise for not being 'chatty'!





I'd like to enter

Thank you Wreath

Just dropping by today with my card for

As soon as I saw this challenge an autumnal coloured wreath jumped to mind.
I took one of the flowers from the Flower Arrangement set stamped it in various colours in a circle, added a bow made out of my oldie but goldie Stampin' Up Old Olive ribbon and finished it off with a 
Clearly Besotted sentiment and Hobby House pearls.

Two Peas in a pod

Just a quick post from me today -
I checked over on Beverley's blog yesterday at Uniko Studios to see if there was
any news on her new arrivals and to my joy there was.
Bev and husband are now the proud parents of two bouncing baby boys.

I have used 'Two Peas in a pod' from Meljens Design and kept the card very CAS.

There will be 2 prizes....One for the challenge

Okay - now I can put the Kleenex away and dry my eyes ready to show you the image that I was first given as a Ladybug.

The first card I made is here 
- such a beautiful image.

I wanted to make it totally different this time so went about with a different colour combination and then it all fell into place, although the liquid pearls did run a bit I am quite happy with how it turned out.
