WOOHOO! Firstly I just wanted to say a huge 'thank you' to
Vicki as I have won her gorgeous blog candy! I feel really lucky and it's thanks to her lovely girls that my name was picked out ;o) I can't wait to play with my new goodies - I really am so excited!
Secondly, a little hoot..... I made the top three in last week's
Magnolia Down Under Challenge! What a privilege this is and I will certainly be back for more challenges as they are such fun and the cards made by the Design Team are wonderful! Just to let you know they are looking for a guest designer for May, so hop over and take a look at this week's 'Sepia' challenge if you'd like to be considered.
Thirdly, I have a card for you! Actually I've been naughty as I should have posted this one yesterday. I get so carried away with posting the actual challenge I forget to post my entry, lol! Plus we did go for a five mile walk yesterday afternoon, then came home to a lovely roast dinner and slumped in front of the TV - NICE!! I also went to church in the morning and the sun totally streamed in through the stain-glassed windows. It was the most amazing thing and made me feel totally at one with God and the world!
So, the theme at
Colour Create is chocolate, coffee and cream, chosen by our lovely Tab this week. I did have to hold out my wrist for a little slap as a tiny bit of Aqua found it's way onto my card too, but I'm hoping I'll soon be forgiven, lol!
I decided to paper piece my image and you may need to zoom in to pick this up clearly. On this ocassion I kept my card fairly simple although I have to tell you I was itching to add more as usual! I also decoupaged Mr Ellie's ears as they were crying out to be made a bit more floppy! I hope you have chance to join in with us again this week and create something along the choccie theme.
Materials:
Image - Daisy & Dandelion
Sentiment - Daisy & Dandelion
Papers - Offcuts from my Stash
Flowers - a lovely gift from
Tara GEmbellishments - Brads from my stash
Accents - Brown Fineliner Pen
Okay folks, that's me. I still have lots of blogs to catch up with so I'm off for a nosy now.
