Good evening to you all and a very warm welcome to my latest followers Dorothy H, Debbie Fisher and Erin Bentley. I cannot believe I am only 10 away from 300 followers, thank you all so much.
I cannot believe its been nearly a week since I last blogged, I have been making cards but for some reason I did not get round to posting.... I`m blaming Pinterest for taking all my time up lol along with other things.
Last week I decided to enter a few challenges with my Rose card ( see post below) and surprise I got top 3 over at Incy Wincy, I just could not believe it, that really made my day, perhaps I should enter a few more... what do you think?.
Now onto this weeks card I decided to make one for the men or new home
1. 6x6 Black scallop card
2. Creative Expressions Village stamp
3. White card embossed with polka dot embossing folder
4. lamp stamped and cut out and clear gloss over the top.
5. black Ribbon, candi and sentiment stamp from stash.
I would like to enter this into..
