Hi Everyone
Only just got to post as my internet went down again I have no idea what’s going on but it has been like this for days, anyway the man assured me it will not be happening again errrr I will believe that when I can stay on longer than 10 minutes.

Onto my card for today and we have a new challenge over at Catch the Bug and this week we would love you to use the colour combination below.

I used the image called Birthday Penguin and this is one of my most requested image for Birthday Cards, I coloured it with Copic and Prisma, the papers are Bo Bunny (love these colours) I used one of my new punches from E/K.

The little hearts are ceramic buttons I found these in my stash and I have no idea where they came from, wish I could remember as I love them.

New Challenge Catch the Bug

2012-01-21T15:00:00.018+03:00

Hi Everyone

We had a great day yesterday with our friend’s as we went out for champagne buffet lunch, all the food you could image but the desserts were to die for in my opinion so yummy, the only downside was we got stuck in a protest and it took nearly an hour to get home instead of 10 minutes, bit scary really with all those people on the highway.

Onto my card for today and we see a new challenge over at Catch the Bug for you and today we would like you to use the following sketch.

I used the image called Bird Greetings - birdy love you and you can find it HERE so so cute and perfect for any valentine or love card, I have no idea why but I thought they would look good in Pink lol but I think it works, the hearts I did on my cricut and the paper is from Bo Bunny.

You can find this image over at the Bug Store and lots of other yummy images too plus there is a deal of the day right now, so go on have a bit of retail shopping.

I did get round to see a few of you yesterday but blogger is still not playing nice on some sites and I could not leave a comment, I will try again today. Thanks for popping in to see and I look forward to seeing your creations later.
