Peacock Stepper xx

Good morning 
Ohhh its a bit chilly here today but still the sun is shining and my flu/cold bugs are almost away!!

What a busy time here we've been having from dentist, to tattooist and then our 10th Wedding Anniversary!! Ekkkk can't  believe its been 10 years since we got married and over 13 years together!! We had a n amazing weekend in Edinburgh, doing touristy things and eating far too much and staying in the Mercure hotel that looks right over to the Castle! Best wee time ohhhh and made better finding Dairy-Free Fudge .......... couldn't believe me eyes and it tasted divine!!

Anyways enough of me, 
Did you catch Fiona last night and again this morning on HOCHANDA with the fabulous Fancy Edge'ables?? I think these are some of my favourites dies from Crafter's Companion and love making a wee card with them!

Lots of Layers xx

Good Morning all

I do hope you are all well and had a super weekend??
Mine?? Well ...... just a quiet one after being ill with migraines all week and cracking my poor back teeth due to the pain! An extraction later and a date to go back seen me and hubby just hanging at home all weekend!

Who would have thought that migraine pain could have caused me to clinch my teeth so much I cracked them??It just shows how strong the human body can be even when it can't see anything but dots heee! Anyways I'm so much better and have such a busy week, so no choice but to get on with it!

Birthday Bow xx

Ok enough with the scary stuff hehe 
I wanted to share a wee card I made this morning while hubby was working on the driveway and the dog happily snoozing in the sun

I absolutely love Sara's English Country Garden papers and just had to use them in my wee Bow Card along with a Butterfly and some glitter too




I used both the 12x12 paper and 6x6 paper pad along with some pink 12x12 cardstock. the Floral Vine Edge die and then the Butterfly from Sara's other range too (its my favourite Butterfly die). Added lots of pearls, Mulberry flowers and ribbon to finish the card off
