Hi friends......happy Saturday......hope you're enjoying the weekend so

far! A big HELLO to my newest followers....thanks so much for joining me!

 Wasn't Strictly fab....all that glitz & glamour and the lovely  Darcy

Bussell inspired me to finish this card.....and I enjoyed every minute of it!

It was lovely to make a real girly card.....living in a house full of rugby

loving boys Miss Rebecca and me need to take every pink/purple moment

we can lol! We watched the rugby this afternoon :( so it could have been a

 totally different style of card lol....gutted for England....they played so well!

This adorable image was a freebie from All Dressed Up.......isn't she just

gorgeous and just perfect for the challenge over there! She's coloured

with my fabby Flexmarkers, the bunting paper was a mag freebie, card 

from my stash, Sizzix corner die, foliage punch, flowers & ribbon!

Oh, and a sprinkle of glitter but it doesn't show up so well on the photo,

Hope you like her, she was a pleasure to colour!

Thanks for calling and for any comments you might leave.....

......see you soon!
