Well thats another week been & gone, gone where I'm not sure lol...spent most of the week doing crafty stuff, listening to pokemon, the girls love it but its on at 3am on Disney whats that all about? lol just glad we've got the + box hehe!! Well the sun is out, but for how long I don't know...popping out to Hobbycraft, my corner rounder punch has gone walkies & I use it loads so Nige is taking me to get a new one lol....Also my fab hubby is talking me up to Harragate for the craft show 10th - 11th september anyone going? would be great to meet up!!
This week over at One Stitch At A Time we have a fab challenge its called 'Pack A Punch' all you need to do is get ya punches out, wether thats a border, a corner or a butterfly, as long as its punched its ok....
For my DT card this week I have use another Hope Jacare image called Holly, I think she is just gorgeous....when I was putting my card together our Katie came for a nose & had me giggling...she said .."mommy she is very pretty, but wouldn't she end up with all cuts on her legs from the prickles?" I tried my hardest not to laugh...the little sweetie x you gotta love um!!!
Anyways on with my make for OSAAT....our sponsor this week is none other than Stitchy Bear & the winner will receive three digi images of their choice woohooo!!! so why not get out ya punches & join in...
I do love a gate fold but they are soooooooo hard to photograph!
Inside I have distressed around the insert in the same ink as around 'Holly' & I have stamped a verse as well.
I thought I would show you a close up of 'Holly I just love her skirt its fab & I managed to get the shading pretty ok on the leaves.
