Happy Easter!

Just dropping by today with my card for the 

CASology challenge ~ Spring

What do you think of when someone mentions Spring??

 Warmer days, lambs, daffodils, crocuses, tulips and the Easter Bunny!!!

My card today I have used an image from Digistamp Boutique

 and made a card blank from two different coloured Pink Petticoat DP - simples!!!

Hope you've had a lovely Easter weekend!

Yoga makes me happy :0)

I have been practising yoga now for about 3 years and if possible do 4.5 hours a week, 

I cannot begin to tell you how much it's changed my life

I absolutely love it and it gives me such a feel-good feeling,

 so even when I don't feel like going I always drag myself to there 

and by the end of the class I'm so happy I did.

A must for everyone - great for the mind!

Todays card is especially created for the LIM Challenge ~ This makes me happy

and yes you guessed I've based mine on yoga.

If only I looked like this though!!!!

I'm off to say a few 'Oms'!!

Thank you for stopping by

The BIG 4-0!

Happy weekend everyone!!

Today's card was for a friend - I printed a sheet of Pink Petticoat digital paper 

and added a Lil Inkers bow and Accucut numbers.

I was really pleased with the outcome.

I would like to enter the following challenges:

A Crafty Mess - Anything Goes

Lewis was 15 this week and I honestly cannot believe it!!

Here are the two cards that I made for him......

Lewis and Eleanor adore one another and are very best friends - it warms me up when I see how close they are and think to myself if I've done anything right in life it is my children <3

Love them to the moon and back
