Hiya there! Hope you are well - and if not hope you are soon! Big Hugs. As you can see from the banner Crafty Sentiments have got some new Christmas stamps coming out - they're just gorgeous - I just know you're going to love them - I've got lots of bits and bats to show you that I've made using them - but not until the launch!!! You'll have to wait until next week!
Today I want to share with you a photograph of two very happy little girls:
Now onto my card for the day - this is the one I made for my dad to give to my mum - it was her birthday on Monday so its safe for me to show this now!
I made this using my wonderful housemouse CDRom that I won from the Joanna sheen blog candy - love it to pieces and it really comes in handy for the old housemouse challenges!!! I decorated the inside too and wrote a little poem - words that I thought my dad would say to my mum and that she would love to hear!
The card went down well anyway - with both mum and dad - so thats all good!
I'd like to enter this card into the following challenges:

Hope you have a good Thursday - I've got the usual reading in school followed by shopping for my mum and dad - and hopefully some messy crafting with my mum in the afternoon. Then once I've picked the girls up from school I've got friends dropping in who are on their way back home to scotland and finally I'll be rounding it all off with an aerobics class! Good stuff!Soon be Friday!!!
Thanks for dropping by today and I hope to see you again soon! Big Crafty hugs Rachel xx
