You make life wonderful............x

Evening Everyone! Well, the snow finally arrived in London last night and so today we've got a couple of inches of the stuff. I love it when it's all thick and fluffy, it's when it starts turning to icy mush I don't like it!! The kids have had fun today - there are snowmen all over the heath and I even saw a snow dalek (from Dr. Who!!) Have you got snow in your part of the country/world?
Anyway, here's tonight's card:

Ingredients:

Image - Simply Sassy from Sugar Nellies coloured with Spectrum Noirs.

Papers - Fancy Pants 'Love Story'/Pink Card - Bazzill Basics.

Sentiment - LOTV.

Dies - MFT Crochet Border and Doily die, Sizzix Decorative Corner.

Phew! Just a few challenges tonight - funnily enough, I didn't even make this card for any challenges but then when I looked online, it seems they're all either red, pink and white or valentine's/love. I've gone with the colour challenges more cos I'm sure I'll make another card that'll fit into the other theme!!
Right, well I'm off to watch a bit of telly and to have a mooch around blogland and visit some of you ladies. Enjoy the rest of your evenings. TTFN........xx

Love Letters Straight from the Heart....

Afternoon!! The challenge starting today over at The Crazy Challenge is 'Flowers' and we've been lucky enough to be sponsored by Saturated Canary. Here's my card:

Ingredients:

Image - Saturated Canary 'Love Letters' coloured with Spectrum Noirs.

Papers - Fancy Pants 'Love Story'.

Black Card (for matting) - Bazzill Basics.

Flowers - Duck Pond Crafts coloured with versamagic ink pads.

Brads - Papermania.

Ribbon - Free with some pyjamas lol!

Now - what do you think of my card? Honestly?!? The reason I ask is that it's quite unusual for me to use such a mish-mash of patterns on my DPs, etc. In the end, I felt quite pleased with the overall look but you know when you just have those niggling doubts about whether it works or not?!
I'm also entering my card into the following challenges:

• Divas by Design - Challenge 19 Sketch.
• Daisy Doodles - Challenge # 52 Romantic theme.
• Crafty Boots Challenges - Inspired by a Song Title (see my blog post title, think it's a Patsy Cline song?!?)
• Paper Make Up -Digi Makeover Challenge # 21 Valentines.

Right, that's it - don't forget to hop over and check over my teamie's gorgeous creations and link your 'Flowery' projects up over at The Crazy Challenge for a chance to win some Saturated Canary images!!
