Good morning to all my lovely friends and followers out in blogland. I hope you are well and enjoying half term - if it is half term for you or yours!!! We had a lovely day yesterday out at a farm in Fleetwood where we met this rather handsome pig!!!!
He was just popping up to say hello in this picture!!!! The farm has a Halloween inspired session in the afternoon so the girls went dressed the part and Lucy was very excited to win the fancy dress competition - but only Penny was brave enough to enter the terror tunnels! Thanks to my mum for coming along and keeping us all happy!
Anyway - onto todays card - which is girly and pink and involved a mega punching session!
I've used a round card and a half and folded on back to create an easel. I've used a martha stewart punch all over the page snowflake punch and also border snowflake punch plus a single snowflake punch which I thin was dovecraft. The image is, or course, LOTV - and she has been coloured with promarkers with glitter added. The wooden snowflakes are from Crafty Emblies. The kraft paper is LOTV and the sentiment is HunkyDory. I know its a bit busy - but I like it!!!!!
I'd like to enter my card for the following challenges:
