Peppermint Kisses

Quick post from me today as I'm running so behind. I ended up sitting with Katie watching the shuttle launch & then she decided she wanted to nip out & get a few more presents....ok by me as I needed a few, as well as a birthday present for a 3 year old boy. Walking around Smyths looking for presents suitable for a 6mth old boy & a 3yr old boy...no idea never had to shop for bys before lol. Got sorted in the end thankfully!

Right the reason I'm here today is to share with you my creation using one of the fabulous new release images over at Inky Impressions. Make sure you pop over & check out the new images & what the Inkettes have made with them!
