Teriffic to have some good news today to go with the lovely spring gardening weather. I am very excited so will go and plant some runner beans now :-)

Penny Black Saturday Challenge

This is my very first entry, I needed a card for my nephew Ollie's 2nd birthday and as he is a boy I think this will do! also entered for the Docrafts PB challenge for a red white and blue card with 3 backing papers. The papers are from my stash, balloons in viva red pen. Mice coloured with pro-markers.

While my other half is at the Rugby...

After spending a 4 days this week spring cleaning the messy desk and the room it is in I was finally able to sit down today and play with all the things I had found/were delivered this week!
I am entering this card in this weeks LOTV Challenge for favourite colours, plum, lilac and warm shades of purple. (my youngest daughter Lydia's favourites too) Lilly of the Valley Challenge  I am also entering it in the Docrafts 1st ever LOTV challenge ' Friendship isn't a big thing - it's a million little things ~Docrafts LOTV challenge
and Truly Scrumptious 51-Swirls & Pearls.
The backing paper and cardstock is Papermania Cap collection Heather, the image is, of course a Cute Square from Lilly of the Valley, (WHAT a great idea for newbies like me) I have added promarkers in Amethist, & lilac, the pearls and ribbon are from my stash, the swirly die is a new Marianne D and I found the sentiment on the web, the font is Amelie.
Tomorrow my husband says he is going to insert some memory, which sounds painful! Please remember this is only my 3rd posting! so things might not work as they should.
Thank you to all those who have made kind comments so far.
