Hello there. Glad you found time to visit me here in my little niche in blogland. It's great to have you visit. I hope you find something to make your visit worthwhile.I made this card for the current Sunday Sketch and Stamp challenge. They provided a fantastic sketch to follow and I hope you like my interpretation of it. I inked up the Lili of the Valley "Bunnies in Love". I think it's one of the cutest stamps around and I coloured it using my Polychromos Pencils. The paper is both sides of "Old Olive" papers by Stampin Up and the mounts are pale green Bazzil. I used an MS Arch border punch on one edge and the embellishments are from my stash. I have also used Glimmer Mist iredescent gold.
I enjoyed making this card so I hope you like it enough to take the time to leave a comment. I get such a lot out of reading what you have to say and it helps me to know what you think works or doesn't work.
A BLOG AWARD
I have been given this blog award by my friend Mandy at Crafty Fox Cards. I am really thrilled with this one because I'd never seen it before. Thank you very much Mandy.
Now for the difficult bit. The conditions for accepting this are that I tell you 10 things that give me pleasure and pass it on to 10 blogging friends. That wasn't too difficult because Mandy had given it to some of the people I would have had in my shortlist so some of the heartache of having to choose between people was taken away.
Right 10 things that bring me pleasure:
- My best friend for 40 years, my husband.
- Our 2 Sons and Daughters in law.
- Our 3 Grandchildren.
- Our extended family on boths sides - we are all very close.
- Christian Friends
- Cardmaking
- Blogging friends
- Reading comments they leave.
- The garden in Summer.
- A tidy house
The ten people I want to pass this on to are:
- Tracy at Country Mouse
- Sarah at Lil-Paper-Pixie
- Linda at Payne Holler Cards
- Avril Ann at Crafting in the Shed at the Bottom of the Garden
- Teri at Teri's Cards and Toppers
- Angie at Lilicanglia
- Donna at Popsicle Toes
- Mina at Pinkpuds
- Cheryl ay My Cardmaking Haven
- Linby ay Crafty Linby
I am grateful for your taking the time to visit and I hope you will have a pleasant day in whatever you choose to do.
Hugs,
