A quick post today to share a card I made for Jackie’s Grayed Jade colour challenge at Rockwell Designs.  One of my all time fave colours to craft with so I definitely could not resist….   and you have a chance to win a blog ‘header’, so why not join the fun!  I combined it with this weeks Tuesday Trigger: A Little Romance  where I was inspired by the colour and had some fun embossing some sweet doilies to imitate the lace.

Best Day Ever!

Okay,  so it’s a card ‘for fun’ today.  I thought I had missed the deadline for the current Craft Dash but alas I saw that I had 10 hours left…   I could have made a zillion 10 minute cards in that time lol, but this one only took me 8mins 21secs.  I have  had the card planned for nearly a week and guess what, the finished version looks nothing like it, go figure.

Anyhoo, for inspiration I headed across to my blog friend Lisa for her fab Wanna Sketch and this is the end result.  I’m also sharing at Simon Says Stamp – it’s Anything Goes!  I’ve been up since 5am this morning and the house is still dark and quiet….   it’s been so lovely catching up on my fave blogs, now I just need to catch up on my fave videos.
