Before I show you that though I must point you in the direction of Lindsay - and mention her fabulous candy - the picture is on my sidebar - check it out - if you haven't already!
Also there are new images in the shop at the thecraftypad:
There are also some birthday/general circular sentiments and some digital papers too!
Get over there and check them out - I'm looking forward to having a play with these myself!
So onto my card: I love it to pieces I have to say - the little angel in the image reminds me - in the face - of my little Penny - that's why I had to buy the image when I was browsing over at Mo's Digital Pencil recently!
I've used a sketch from Divas by design and ribbon from fantastic ribbons. The snowflake punch is Martha stewart and the pink paper is from Wild Rose studio. The flowers are from Marianne designs and the charm was from a kit - as were the pins. The snow flakes were cut using spellbinders dies.

My husband has been running an international conference this week and today is the 'rest' day - we're off to Holker Hall on a coach with 70 physiscists followed by a boat ride on Windermere - It should be a fun day but the weather's not looking brilliant! Fingers crossed. The girls will just enjoy the coach ride I think!!!
Oh and another bit of news before I sign off - I've been asked to join the DT for Seems a little sketchy - since I love working with sketches how could I refuse?! I'll be starting in September when I get back from my holidays!
See you tomorrow for GDT spot and thanks for dropping by today! Hugs
