Good morning peeps,
Only 2 more days and hubby will be back at work so normal crafting & blogging can resume, yayyyyyyy lol. I don't know why but I always feel guilty being busy in my craft room when hubby is home, he never complains about me being tucked away in there, in fact he always wants to know why I'm not in my craft room making use of my mountains of stash lol, do you know what I mean or is it just me being daft?
Today I have another GDT card to share that I've made for
this fortnight the challenge is a favourite of mine
Ingredients -
Image - Gorjuss Girls
Medium - distressed inks
Papers - Basic Grey, Porcelain (which is sadly now retired)
Flowers - Prima, Kort & Godt & Wild Orchid
Sentiment - Sentiments 4 You
Tools - MS Cherry Blossom PATP, Magnolia Doo Hickey - Butterfly, Heart Swirl & Swirl, Woodware mini butterfly punch
I was fighting a lack of mojo when making this card so it took me 3 days of on and off crafting to finish it.
I've added lots of crystal glamour dust to the flowers and butterflies for all that lovely sparkle
I'm entering my card in the following challenges -
Hanna & Friends - fabby sketch, Fairy Fun Fridays - pearls & swirls, Stamp Something - bugs or butterflies, 2 Sisters - Summer fun, Sweet Stampin - cute & cuddly, Flutterby Wednesday - anything goes, Little Darlings - favourite colour combo, Really Reasonable Ribbon - summer fun/picnic, Stampavie & More - more than 3 layers, The Paper Shelter - lots of dots, Do It With Digis - spots, stripes or both, Aud's Sentiments - at least 2 words, Dutch Dare - Summer fun, Simon Says Stamp & Show - a flourish, Creative Craft - pretty blossoms, Papertake - anything goes, Divas By Design - die cuts & punches, Forever Friends - Birthdays
When you see my next piccy you might well think I've lost the plot!
Jodie uttered 5 little words to me on Wednesday, something I've not heard her say since hubby & I came home from our holiday in Belgium in December, and they were
"do you want a coffee?"
Good job I was sitting down it was a heck of a shock, obviously I had to mark the rare occasion with a piccy lol.
A big thank you to the lovely ladies at Basic Grey for inviting me to be their guest designer, this is my last GDT card for them.
Please hop on over and take a peek at the gorgeous creations the DT have made and join in the challenge
Thanks for stopping by and have a wonderful weekend

Stunning creation Mandy, love the gorgeous colours and scrummy detais. I feel guilty too when hubby's at home he does'nt mind either but I still feel bad. The first thing that pops into my head when Kyle offers to make me a drink is, whats he after?
Donna x
Another gorgeous card Mandy, very pretty indeed. I find it hard to craft when hubby is home to, but mines more because he's not so supportive of my hobby

I'd be too scared to put a coffee that close to my colouring I would most likely knock it over. Such a sweet card I love your arrangement of flowers and pins.
