Special Friends...

Good Morning lovely friends...

Oh dear!  This week is rushing by sooooo quickly, which in some ways is a good thing because I have a mega exciting weekend to look forward to!

My son's gorgeous girlfriend is 21 so it's party time!

plus - I am off on a crafty outing with my best crafting buddies on Sunday!

Phew!  Starting to wish I was the one who was 21 - I could do with a 21 year old's energy!

Anyways, we have a new challenge starting today at

In The Pink

and it is

Flower Power

It will be lovely to see as many of your gorgeous mainly pink flowery creations as possible!

Our generous sponsor this time is 

Bugaboo

with a wonderful 7 digi's for the lucky winner! 

For my card I have used the gorgeous Bugaboo digi stamp - Mouse - Big Flower.

I have been playing with the Distress Inks again!  I love the delicate effect you can achieve. 

I have made a little stepper - type card using papers from Bo Bunny and finished off with a twirl of twine and a sentiment from Paper Smooches.

...and here we are - little mouse - big flower!...

Lovely news from the mouse house today!

I have joined the amazing DT at fabulous - Dies To Die For

It's a big thank you from me to Tracy, Lou, Faye and Jane for inviting me along!

Soooo....today's card is my first DTDF DT post; I am feeling more than a teensy bit excited!

I have used the gorgeous stamp set Pix's Favourites and Mini Messages by Mama Elephant.

I was inspired by the very talented Kristina Werner in making this card - there is a brilliant tutorial HERE for the painting technique I used.

I decided to try something a little different and coloured (tried to colour)! with Distress Markers.  I absolutely love the effect you get with Distress Inks and am full of admiration for you wonderful DI Artists.  I have some practice to do but am determined not to give up!
