Gosh another week has passed us by and its time for another Secret Crafters Saturday Challenge which is 'In The Garden' I have cheated and used one of the lovely toppers from Wee Stamps, so no colouring in from me this week. These toppers are so so sweet, just love Sylvia's cute images so many lovely ones to pick from. The papers are from SU! just fab for a nice quick card.

D'Arcy's Buttons & Bows

Good afternoon Bloggers I have a D'Arcy card to share with you today, its been a while since I have taken part in one of their challenges which is 'Buttons & Bows' so had a little play this weekend and went with a nice chocolate brown and pink combo. The papers are one of my recent purchases from Nitwits downloads called 'Puppy love too',nice pinks and browns in this collection. The greeting is from LOTV which fits nicely into a scallop circle from SU!, Doohickey large flower with bow and buttons from stash.

I feel very unsettled lately, you know when you are feeling its time for change! Wanting more out of life,may be a new house, a new job,emigrate lol.... I think we all go through feelings like this through out life, I am sure I will snap out of it soon (Hopefully!) I blame my age for everything, especially as I am approaching that half century lol..

SCSC~ I Love You Mom

This weeks Secret Crafter's Saturday Challenge is 'I Love You Mom'

I made this card for my Mother-In-Law for her Birthday last month in pretty pastel pink shades.The image is from the Lilli Of the Valley die cuts pack so a nice easy card to make, I used a large 8x8 card.

I haven't really made any cards this week, although have a few images coloured up so watch this space. The weather has been very so changeable this week, it was so warm yesterday although showery today its blinking freezing with heavy showers, felt more like October than May! Hope you all have a lovely weekend.
