MIA

Hi freinds.
No card today I'm afraid.
Just thought I ought to let you know that we are selling our house and moving to a bungalow in Wales.
I had no idea how much work was involved!!
I'm shattered! LOL
There's one room I can't do much with though and that's my craft room.
It is a mess, but to pack it all away would put me in hospital!
I just hope that anyone viewing our house can see past the wall to wall paper, card, stamps and punches! EEK!
I haven't time to make a card and I miss playing, but I need to keep everywhere as tidy as possible, 'coz it needs all the help it can get! LOL
We had our first viewing yesterday. (Mother's Day too)!
Still, we made ourselves scarce and told the lads not to come until after 1pm.
The viewing was positive and I can't believe we had one this quick!
The house only went on the market on Thursday!
I do hope it doesn't take forever as we're keen to move.
Keep your fingers crossed for us, won't you!

For Mum

Hi friends!
Long time no post. Sorry, but things are happening here and I will tell you all about it soon.
(It's all good, so don't worry).

OK, onto my latest DT card for In The Pink.

Challenge #64.....For a special lady 

We have a whopping £15 voucher for the random winner chosen from our Perfect Pinkies picked next time, donated by the fabulous.....

Whoo hoo!!!
(exclusive of shipping costs of course).

I was going to make a card for my grand-daughter, but changed my mind and decided to make a card in memory of my wonderful exasperating mum, who I lost 5 years ago.
This is just the type of card she would have loved to receive, 
so if you're looking down Mum, this is for you! 


The rose picture is actually a die cut sticker label from Papermania's 'Botanicals' collection.
The 'MUM' was made with MFT alphabet dies.
The scroll border was made with an EK Success punch.
The embossing was done with a Couture Creations 'Candy Stripe' folder.
Flowers from my stash and Bob's your uncle!

Well that's it from me today buddies.
Please pop over to my good buds at In The Pink to see what gorgeous cards they have made to inspire and delight and get all the details on entering our challenges.
