Good morning everyone!
Hope you are enjoying the start of your weekend....... bet there are lots of you rushing round the shops now as I write this!! So much to do heh...... mind you, I bet there are a few of you sat reading this with a slightly smug smile on your faces thinking 'ha ha, finished all my shopping for Christmas'...... hmmmmmm, I used to be organised like that but I'm not sure what happened, must be my age, lol!
I must thank everyone for their kind words too...... I've been having some bad migraines again and far too many of them for my liking, so it's lovely to know that peeps care ;o)
Right then, onto today's card for the Basic Grey Challenge which is a colour combo this week...... pink, blue and cream. These are such pretty pastel colours for a Christmas card and I think you'll love the cards and projects my fellow teamies have made, very yummy indeed. This is the last BG challenge now until after the New Year, so you'll have lots of time to get creative.
I'm also entering my card into the Crafty Calendar Challenge for December which is Winter Sparkle...... I think my card qualifies nicely for that, with glittered wings and stars plus some very shiny snowflakes. I used one of the new Lily of the Valley stamps I bought last month at the NEC and paper pieced her dress with the BG Eskimo Kisses papers that I've used on my card. In addition, there are Prima Hydrangeas, QuicKutz reindeer and Leone-Em punched fern leaves, plus the usual extra bits and bobs from my stash.
Well I'm looking forward to watching X-Factor and Strictly tonight, aren't you? I'm rooting for Ali and Brian in the dancing and Joe in the singing...... who do you want to win?!!
Have a great weekend and thanks so much for stopping by......
TTFN and TFL, hugs Tara xx

Oh Tara, I am so sorry to hear about your Migraine attacks, hun! I can totally relate, as you know! I'm glad to say that the nerve block injections I was getting have helped my neck pain that I had in conjunction to my Migraines. I hope this cycle your in breaks soon...are you affected by the barometric pressure? That must be a real problem with all the rain ya get, eh. Well, I'm thinking of ya, hun! Rest and take it easy!

Hi Tara! Absolutely gorgeous card and the image is so sweet and beautifully coloured. Superb details as always, the sentiment is really lovely and what you've done with the flowers is wonderful. Hope you're feeling a bit better this weekend, resting and not overloading yourself is good although difficult at this time of year I know. I'm not one of the organised ones and I'll be dashing around at the last minute as always :D! Take care of yourself Sweetie and I hope the awful cycle of migraines lets up very soon. Hugs, Chris xxx
