Good morning lovelies - well wasn't it a hot one yesterday? Best day so far of this new summer that we seem to be experiencing - not so good for my hill run though - I was terrible. Nevermind - pick yourself up, dust yourself off and try to do better next time!!! It looks like my sponsored matchbox idea has worked well for the PTA too. We've only got about half in so far but think we've already raised about £240 which is excellent news! Fabulous! There were some very strange things in the boxes but the oddest thing had to be a piece of snake skin - imagine!!!! You never know what you're going to get!!!
Today's card is from a commission I managed to pick up on Saturday - for a ladies grand-daughter's first birthday. Here's what I did.
Isn't she the sweetest image? So cute I had to pop over to Mo mannings store and scoop her up - with a couple of other must haves I've seen in the last wee while! I think she's called baby butterfly fairy and I've coloured her with promarkers and cut her out with a spellbinders die and used spun sugar DI around the edge of the die. The papers are from Me to you and the sketch is from sketch and stash where the optional theme was glitter and gems - I managed the glitter part at least.
The border punch I've used is from Martha stewart.

Hi Rachel, that is such a darling image and your card is gorgeous. I thought you might get some strange things in the matchboxes, the thought of snakeskin makes me shiver - I don't do snakes at all! Let's hope the weather continues, we really need some sun on our backs. Hugs, Anne x
