An Apple Girl


Hi girls. Thank you for calling in to see what is on my blog. I really hope you like what you find here and maybe even get some inspiration from it. I am quite excited because my eldest son, Sarah and Jonathan are coming to visit for a few days. I just hope I manage to keep well enough to enjoy the visit.
Anyway on to my card for today. I didn't make this with any challenge in mind and enjoyed getting to spend some time in my craftroom. I have used an image that I was given as a gift from a blogging friend and I have been dying to use it. I don't know what it is called so if anyone knows please let me know. I coloured it using my Copics. The papers are from Nitwit Collections and I have used Bazzil as a mount. The flowers are from Wild Orchid and Magnolia. The border is cut with an EK Success punch and the ribbon is from my stash.
I hope you like this and would love to hear what you think of it if you have time to leave a comment. Have a great weekend and stay safe and healthy.

Sorry I've been awol for a while but my Mum went into the care home last week and we are in the process of emptying her house. So much stuff for one little lady...lol so all my time has been taken up this past couple of weeks. Enjoy your weekend with your family. Keep well

    Hi Fiona
    Sorry I have not left comment's for a while I have had a few weeks not too good health wise and then blogger wouldn't let me comment.
    I really hope you get to enjoy your time with your family but you must rest as well. It will be lovely to have some crafty time with Sarah too I'm sure.
    Love your card, gorgeous colours and the papers are beautiful too I am really getting into those Nitwit papers they print a dream don't they.
    Take care and have a great week.
