I'm back - take two!!

Hello All! Well, trying again with the coming back thing, and think I may actually have cracked it this time! It's half term at the moment, and aside from getting over the flu, I have actually been into my craft room and made some cards!! It feels really good to be back in the saddle - just hope I can remain there!

I have had a catch up with making some cards for my DT commitments, and they will be going on this weekend when the challenges go live, but for the time being here is a card I made for a friend just to say hello! I have used the latest sketch from Deconstructing Jen - I think these sketches are fab as you can take them in any direction and they always look fab!

What I have used:

Spellbinders - Shapeabilities Parisian Motifs

Sentiment - Woodware

Ribbon - from stash

Papers - First Edition Rose Garden, Tim Holtz Coredinations Victorian Velvet

I would like to enter the following challenges please:

Deconstructing Jen - sketch 175

Aud Sentiments Challenge - two or three word sentiment

Creative Card Crew - Bows

Thank you for stopping by - please pop in over the weekend to see some of my DT makes!

Love and light
