Hello lovely peeps,
I had such a panic Monday night, Jodie was at work, Gareth was out at a friends & hubby was working a night shift and I opened the back door to let the dogs out in the garden before bedtime and had the shock of my life as my garden was covered in snow & it was snowing really heavy blowing a blizzard! My immediate thought of course should have been would they all get home safe if this bad weather keeps up but I'll be honest it wasn't! I am a bad wife & a bad muma as my initial thoughts were "OMG, OMG nooooooo will I still get my parcel from NEXT in the morning & will the courier deliver my parcel on foot if the roads are too bad to drive" Yes I know, I know hanging my head in shame, in my defense my new goodies did arrive o.k & they are really gorgeous lol.
Today is new challenge day at

We're having a "Soothers" & "4head" party here as hubs & I are both woke up with headaches & sore throats & I find it highly amusing when hubs uses the 4head rub as it always makes his eyes water & he always has a little rant about it, it's the way we have the same little routine every time he uses it that makes me chuckle as I just know what is coming next lol.
Thanks for stopping by

ReplyDeleteOh Mandy another amazing card. I love the layout may pinch if you don't mind. Gorgeous flowers. I really must use my punches more often. Years a go i did make my own until wild orchid crafts came on the scene. Then they went in the draw. I do agree, I was shocked to see tilda's bum out. Funny to see. Get well soon babes.

This is so funny, I just made this exact image, both of them in Distressed Inks and put it in my Art Journal. I thought it was so darn cute that I would save it. Now look at how gorgeous your card looks and those checkered pants! I love what you did and all the embellishments are gorgeous too. I need to color another one up! First I will finish my Art Journal so I can show my image of both stamps. lol
