Don't forget to check out the main challenge blog to see whether you've bagged some more booty by being picked as last week's lucky winner of the prize from Fantastic Ribbons.

Annie said...

wow Pauline, what a gorgeous card you have created with the cute hedgie image! I love the soft pretty colours and the embellishments. You asked about the little heart embossing folder I used, it's from a set by Cuttlebug and you can get it from Cuddly Buddly here http://cuddlybuddly.com/shop/v2600-cuttlebug-punch-emboss-425-x-55-love-language/ I used it so much last year to create the invitations and wedding stationery for my son's wedding - those little double hearts got die cut about 200 times!
enjoy your weekend.
hugs, annie x
