Anything Goes with Left of Center!

Edit: This should have posted yesterday at 11 am.....don't forget to pop

over to the Left of Center blog at 11 today for more inspiration!

Morning friends.........hope you're all well!

Another make from me for the Left of Center 1st anniversary celebration

share or keep.........and so long as they're quite flat they store easily in those

plastic pockets, usually about 9 on an A4 size page, you know the kind 

that hold football/game cards? I used the cute "Heart Monster" from Dilly Beans

coloured with Copics, a couple of scraps of paper & a stamped sentiment

and that's it.........super quick & easy! Don't forget, to pop over & enter

the 1st Anniversary challenge at Left of Center, it's Anything Goes.....and it

really IS Anything Goes..........it doesn't have to be dark.........although dark is

delicious you can enter pink & frilly if you want! There's some FAB prizes 

to be won & you have another 7 days to enter so look out for some more amazing

inspiration from the LOC crew! 

Thanks for calling.......hope you have a lovely day!

Punches & Dies with Lexi's Creations

 straight.....I've even measured it cos it was driving me mad lol!
