Sugar Nellie Challenge

Can't believe it is four years since I was last on blogger.  Have only been making a few family cards for Birthdays and Christmas and never got round to having free time to post them or to follow blogs etc.

Life has just been busy with family and sometimes crafting and other things have to take a back seat. Hopefully I can get back to some sort of crafting and post regularly again.

I am entering my card into the sugar nellie challenge which is anything goes #136

I made this card recently for my niece Lydia's fifth birthday and funny enough the last card I posted was for her first birthday.

Images - Cherry Pip and Jelly Pip
Coloured with Distress Inks
Papers - Echo Park - So Happy Together
Cardblank - Hunkydory Shutter Card
