Spring

Carol's Sketch Fun 22 - Carol has provided quite an unusual sketch for Challenge 22.



I was a little bit out of my comfort zone with this...I haven't made a DL card for a long time.

On Monday my postie surprised me with a wonderful gift from my lovely friend Kym.
She knows I don't have very many stamps so she sent me some stamped images and this is one of them.
A few posts ago she showed a card she said she made with a gift inside for a friend. I wasn't to know at the time that it was for me :-)
It was such a kind thought and a lovely surprise :-)




BP - free from Making Cards mag...I'm being very thrifty
Image - Anya (from Kym)
Ribbon and punched flowers
Holographic mirri card
Peel-off butterfly on copic coloured paper


This also fits a number of other challenges with a spring theme

Fussy and Fancy 6 - green
Allsorts 44 - spring is in the air
SCSC 75 - spring has sprung
Flutter by Wednesday 101 - green
Anyone for Anya - spring fever
Crafty Catz 24 - spring
Creative Inspirations 52 - white, yellow, green
Simon Says - show us your greens
Pile it On 10 - pastels

I must apologise for not doing my regular blog visiting.
I have been comandeered by hubby to help in the garden, so now, not only do I need a cook and a cleaner, it looks like a gardener is needed too, hahahaha.

Thank you for stopping by :-)
