I'm back!!!!

Morning all! Well its been a fabulous week away - here's a little picture from yesterday - we were at Rushcliffe Country Park near Ruddington - and it was just beautiful - my girls and their cousin Holly were trying to catch butterflies. And here's Lucy giving us one of her wonderful toothless smiles!

 I'm sure they'll sleep well tonight! Its been so hot and we've been up really early every day and packed lots in - I'll put a few more piccies on my next post!

I did a little card making whilst away but I was very limited in what I could do! So here's a card I made with the housemouse challenge in mind - add some sparkle.


Sorry about the quality of the first piccie - it really isn't good but I think you can get the gist and the sparkle shows up in the second and better piccie. Its a digi stamp from the wonderful housemouse triple CD Rom that I coloured with promarkersand added glitter using a glue pen. The sparkly bling buttons are from the Hobby house and the ribbon is from my stash!

I'd like to eneter this card into the following challenges:
