Thanks a bunch!


As soon as I saw the fabulous sketch by Sharon over on this week's Creative Card Crew Challenge #8, I knew I had to have a go ... and the fact that there is a gorgeous cutie PB stamp on offer to one lucky winner was definitely a further incentive :-)

If you know me by now you will know that I also get inspired by trying to combine a few challenges - for this one I have tried to combine 5, including the CCC and also

Charisma Cardz #17 - Thankyou

CCT # 58 - Mirror Mirror (I have used mirri card behind my ain image)

Cupcake Challenge #37 - 5 different embellishments - I have used raffia lace, ribbon, buttons, die cut heart, and dragonfly brad.

Secret Crafter # 30 - Flowers



Recipe:
Image: Penny Black "Hedgehog Bouquet";
Sentiment : WOJ;
Paper: Melissa Frances (floral), free with Creative Cardmaking magazine #1 (pink - just seen);
Supplies: Raffia lace & ribbons - Hobbycraft; buttons - Doodlebug; die cut heart free with Creative Cardmaking magazine #1; brad from my stash.

Still trying to keep on decorating the insides ... MSDP had a little workout as usual :-)

Still resting up from my nasty head cold, and pretty angry to read this morning in the paper that people are using swine flu as "an excuse" to take sickies from work - hmmph! Just off now to do abit of chillin' :-)

You can't have too much Martha Stewart that's what I say, lol! Gorgeous card, I particularly like the decorated inside - I'm way too lazy to do that but I love it when other people do it!

Thanks for joining in at CCC this week.
