Flower Power

Hello everyone and Happy Valentines Day!  Hope you are all well.  I'm feeling fresh this week as we went away last weekend.  We went on a National Holidays trip to Harry Potter at Leavesden and spent some time in London.  It was lovely to be chauffeured everywhere for a change instead of having to drive.  We also had a night in a hotel included and it was the Holiday Inn at Hemel Hempstead that we were boarded in, was lovely although we didn't get the chance to try out the leisure facilities.

As I'm here again that means it must be Friday and time for a new challenge over at 

The theme this week is as my blog post suggests "Flower Power" and this time we're sponsored by 

I've made my card this week for my Stepdaughter who's a teenager and this stamp from Lili Of The Valley just sums her up to a T  lol.   Ive used the sketch from Sketch N Stash this week as I thought it was a lovely layout.

Do You Believe In Fairies?

Morning all. I'm writing this from a grey and dismal Hull today (Have scheduled this post so it could be glorious sunshine by the time it goes live....fingers crossed lol). We even had a little bit of sleet this morning! 

My card today is for the second challenge over at CARDS GALORE ENCORE where the new challenge is Bling It Up/Sparkle.  I was at a craft show last week run by Ross Papercrafts and I bought a couple of new things (along with a couple of others from my stash that I hadn't used) so this was the perfect chance to show them off with this card.

The sponsor for this challenge is 

and as usual if you just click on the image it will take you to their store where they have some beautiful digi stamps.

This is a close up of my image so you can see the glitter on her wings.
