Took a bit of time out last night and made a card, just to kind of chill out after a lot of cleaning and tidying. Also trying to sort out some things to maybe go to a car boot sale or two over the summer.
I am entering my card into four challenges:
Lily of the Valley # 102 - Sketch by Donalda
Colour Create # 73 - Blue, Grey and White
Dream Valley # 10 - Ribbon
Totally Gorjuss # 86 - Ribbon and Lace (if my card doesn't suit this challenge, I apologise, I used my Martha Stewart Doily Lace punch)
Liked how it turned out for a change, so made two. Two more Christmas cards made.
The doily lace punch doesn't show up very well but it does look nice at the edge. Ran out of paper too for the insides as there was only two 6x6 sheets of each and had used them for the front.
Cardblanks - Craftwork Cards
Cardstock - Paper Mill
Patterned Paper - Echo Park
Image - Lily of the Valley
Coloured with Distress Inks
Charm - Pink Gem (got these for last Christmas and never used them)
Ribbon - Making Memories
Martha Stewart Doily Border Punch
Nestabilities
I must apologise for not visiting your blogs, but I hope to get caught up over the next day or so and comment on all the cards I missed last week.
Shannon passed her theory test last Saturday, so hopefully will get to do her driving test soon. Hollie had her sports day on Monday evening instead of during school. Wednesday evening was out for dinner with leaders and helpers at Girls Brigade and planned for next term. Friday night, went to see Bryan Adams in concert. Totally amazing, two and a quarter hours of non stop music, never even stopped for a drink until his encore. Saw him in concert 4-5 years ago but this was definitely the best concert. Want to go again. Hope he comes back sooner this time.
Thanks for popping by and will be round to visit you all later.

Donna, love this design and the fact that you have used it to reduce your christmas card mountain later in the year! Very clever.
