A new card challenge

A new card challenge is on over at the Ribbon Girl. I managed to make this card on a weekend of crafting with the girls and Sid before I took a self imposed non card making spell.

Sid if you see this I took your advice and changed the wings from white to black.

All flowers and ric rac are from the Ribbon Girl .The wings are black glossy accents and image Pure Innocence.

Taking a break....

I made this card a while ago for the Ribbon Girl card challenge.

I am having a little rest from making cards for a while due to heavy workload at work thats my paid job :) ... I am willing to make cards but am afraid the body isnt when I get home so am having a few months break from my DT commitments.

See you soon x

Hearts and Flowers.....at PTW

Yep its that time of year again when the UK go mad for Hearts and flowers. Of course thats grand when you have a sweetheart but quite depressing when you dont  lol  So why not make yourself a card, you know you are worth it :) and then enter it into this weeks challenge over at Papertake Weekly to be in with a chance to win fab prizes.

Our Guest designers for Feb and March are the wonderfully talented
Pauline C and Debs

For my card I used a Kenny K topper from the Hobby House and old papers  from Cosmo Cricket I had in my stash.
