I am Woman

I made this card for the latest challenge over at DCM, and since I have not got any images or stamps of women, I decided to make a card featuring little girls. Let's face it, with three girls in the house, there will surely be another birthday party at some point for which this card might come in handy!


I've used one of my kiddie design papers from Dovecraft from which I trimmed the square images. The pp below is actually a pretty pale yellow, but it doesn't really show in the picture. Can't remember where I got this paper, I've had it a while now... The greeting was cut with my trusty QK Revolution die, the -i is dotted with a little pink crystal, and I added some pink gingham ribbon from stash. Nice, quick card which should appeal to little girlies (I hope!) :)

This is the first challenge I've entered in a while - lack of mojo first, then my mum was here for a visit. Had a lovely time with my mum - went shopping, had coffees and cakes, chatted endlessly (to the annoyance of the rest of my family, they always complain they can't get a word in when my family visit... ) and played card games at night, leading to very little sleep... My girls were delighted to see their "Oma", too, and rather sad to see her go. It's nice that they've always treated my family exactly the same as my husband's family, even though they only see mine 3 or 4 times a year. Looking forward to our visit to Germany in the summer :)

Now I'm back at my (messy) craft table and loving it, so I shall see what other challenges tickle my fancy, and I'll get on with a couple of commissioned cards as well. Thanks for stopping by!
