BELLA WITH BALLOONS

Good afternoon! Well I had a lovely surpirse this morning when I popped over to check this week's Pink Gem Designs challenge and saw that I'd won the prize of 4 Digi's of my choice for last week's challenge :)))

I've been routing through my old Basic Grey 6x6 paper pads(I have ALOT!lol) and decided that it was time to use them after just getting them out for years just to look at then put them back because I could'nt bare to cut into them lol


Products uesd; Bella with balloons from Wild Rose Studio, Promarkers and Fleximarkers, Craftwork cards circle sentiment, Papermania sentiment, Basic Grey GYPSY 6x6 paper pad, Papermania buttons, Maya Road ribbon, Square nestability and Handstitching.

I'm entering my card into the following challenges...

Basic Grey challenge - Spring colours!

Secret Crafter - A MAN'S CARD

Allsorts challenge - Button and Threads

Make it Monday - Anything Goes

Before I go I just wanted to share my card that is in this months issue of Papercraft Essentials on page 9. I used the fab free Cute Companions stamps and papers that came with a previous issue. It's such a nice feeling seeing your cards in a magazine :)



Is'nt she a cutie! :)
Well that's all from me...I'm off to check out what you've all been upto,have a lovely day! xx
