Giggly, girly card - just because...

I was tidying up my craft table the other day (although you wouldn't know it now...) and when I got to a pile of scraps, I thought why not use them to make a card?


As it turns out, the scraps are just one of many bits on this card, I had to, of course, add the image, and the ribbon wasn't just lying about, and neither were the flowers or the brads :) But I felt good using up some small bits rather than cutting into something new, and as it happens, I'm rather pleased with the whole card. I just love pinks and greens and white together, must be my all-time favourite colour combo! :)

Well, the gorgeous weather from my last post has long disappeared, today it has been raining non-stop, and it's not particularly warm either. Which is annoying, because we have no central heating at the moment, the pump seems faulty and keeps tripping a fuse, so we had to switch it off completely, and I am frozen! It's supposed to get fixed today, and I'm waiting to hear from the company to say when exactly and how much. Meanwhile, youngest daughter is waiting impatiently, wanting to go to McDonald's for her birthday lunch! Poor thing, the house is cold, she can't go outside to play, and she hasn't had any lunch yet (unless birthday cake counts) - not much of a birthday so far! ;-)

Hope you're all having a brighter and warmer day, thanks for stopping by :)

  5. No, it's just as cold and wet down here in North Staffordshire. Good day for crafting though! Hope you had a good time at Macdonalds - it's certainly a place kids enjoy. ikki

  10. Anne, that card is so sweet! I love it!

    What do you mean, you haven't visited. Girl we chat all the time on Facebook and Yahoo. You so silly. No need to apologize. Heck, the past month I have been a bad blogger period! Last week I didn't do much and I think I made a blogger mad by not coming to her blog for a week! Yikes! It wasn't like I just did it to her, I didn't visit alot of blogs last week. Oh well.
