Anyway, last night I wanted to colour, so I chose one of Anita Be Stampin's new digi images called Amberlee, she is just gorgeous!! She can be purchased HERE, and there are also some lovely sentiments that work so well with her!




I had the most wonderful surprise last week, my on-line friend SHARON sent me a surprise birthday parcel, I was so touched that she thought of me, and sent me a load of nice goodies (I have taken a photo, and it will be one of my Project Life photos which I will post on Tuesday). The lovely papers and trim I used on my card were from Sharon. Thanks so very very much for your kindness Sharon, it means the world to me!!! :)

Anita Be Stampin Card

Thanks for stopping by again today. As you can see I am on a huge cardmaking kick at the moment and I am LOVING it!!

The card I have created qualifies for a number of challenges, but the main one I wanted to make this one for is for the latest challenge over at Anita Be Stampin. I used to be on this DT, and what a wonderful team it was!! I resigned from the team because I was battling to keep up with my DT commitments at the time, and I was committed to another site that I had been on for ages, only to be told shortly thereafter that my time was up with them. So that didn't work out too well for me, did it!! Anyway Anita Be Stampin really do produce the most gorgeous stamps, rubber and digi. This is one of their digi images, and isn't she cute!! Go and check out their challenge blog HERE. Their latest challenge is to LAYER IT!! You can't see it too well, but the brown square is popped up, as well as the image on my card :)




Products I used on this card:
Brown patterned paper - Basic Grey
Green & white patterned paper - ?????
Paper flowers from a local shop - I went on a bit of a shopping spree yesterday :)
Embossing folder - Cuttlebug
Font used on sentiment - Ali's Hand
Copics!! :)

The challenges I am entering my card for are:
Anita Be Stampin - Layer it
Bunny Zoe's - Lace
Stamp Something - Use a digi image
Sketch 'n Stash - Latest sketch (It's fab don't you think?!?)
AnnaBelle Stamps - Use the colours Olive, Lemon & Chocolate

Thanks for popping in, hope you enjoyed your little visit :)
