Just Married!

Its time for a new challenge over at A&T Challenges where this fortnight we have a bingo grid for you (which you will find here!) you can choose any three items as long as they are all in a row horizontal or vertical! Really easy!

Ok I chose the first vertical line which is using.....die cuts, ribbon & a flourish!

This is one of my favourite Emerald Faeries images so sweet!

I decided to use a 'Just Married' sentiment because, whilst I was chatting on the phone to Hazel (after sending her a picture of my card) I was reading through my sentiments & we both went yes when I read this one out.....so 'Just Married' it is!!!

Today is such a busy day for me, with making three DT posts, but ya know what I wouldn't have it any other way. I just love my crafting, even if my colouring isn't as good as some peoples I still love looking back at images I have coloured & thinking WOW my colouring is so much better than it was then! lol!!

Well the image on my card today is one of those, I had this stamp in my goodie bag from my

 Crafty Weekend last year, I have already booked my space for this year & can't wait.....if you want to have a look at what its all about & maybe join us pop over here & take a nosey around!

 As I was saying before I got side tracked, I coloured this stamp up while I was away & never used it, thought about using it on this card, but oh my colouring was bad! Even going back to October my colouring (well in my eyes lol) has improved so much!! I think these Flexies make such a difference...!

Right ok back to MAWTT,  this week our challenge is

BLOOMING MARVELLOUS

House Mouse!

I just wanted to say sorry for not being around the last few day or the next few. I was on antibiotics for a severe kidney infection & I had a reaction to them, where my brain swells (yeah I know what brain lol!) causing really bad & I mean really bad headaches to he extent that yesterday I couldn't pick my head up off my pillow or look at lights without being in tears! So I am sorry if I don't get around to commenting I will be back hopefully by Monday after a few days rest!! The hospital last night said I'd just got to wait it out & let the meds come out of my system naturally!! Not to bad today I can look at lights without it hurting, but I still feel like I've had one to many whiskeys! lol
