I also want to take this opportunity to thank our wonderful sponsors, who have supported us over the last few years"

I have thoroughly enjoyed being part of this team, thanks Michele.

So the very last challenge for you is Flower Power - we want to see loads of flowers on your creations, just perfect for me :0)

We have had some lovely sunshine this weekend, I went for a run yesterday morning around our local lakes and then in the afternoon we even managed a bbq, lets hope it continues into the week. 

I managed to make a card this morning, I fiddled around with it for ages, another cutie from the Tilda range, I love her hair.  I have used the gorgeous Chapter One Paper Pad by Kaisercraft, they are one of my favourite pads of all time, I think i'm going to buy another pad just incase I run out of this one, I also made a felt flower from the Tim Holtz spiral flower die and then added a matching self adhesive pearl in the middle, I added a little bit of white paint to the flowers to give a vintagey feel.

Over on the Lili's Little Fairies Blog it is anything goes this week so I thought I would ink one of my new LOTV stamps up, love this one, such a sweetie

The sun is shining

What a lovely start to the weekend, I'm not to sure how long it is going to last, let's hope it's a while. 

OH ran the marathon in 3hrs 38mins which was a fantastic time, to say it was wet and windy was an understatement!!

I have been running 3 times this week, I managed a 5k without stopping again and knocked 2 mins of my previous time so really happy about that.

I had a couple of new tilda's delivered this week and just had to ink this one up, I absolutely love her I think she has to be one of my all time favourites.

This isn't a colour combo I would normally use but I really like it, its a bit of a mix of old papers and Papermania Portobella Road. I have these Pearl Flourishes but cut the swirl away from the flower to give her a bit of sparkle I also glittered her wings.

Wet Weekend

And it is still raining!! I think it is going to carry on all weekend, I'm bored of it now, let's just have some sunshine :)

OH is running the Milton Keynes Marathon tomorrow, let's hope the wind will be blowing in the right direction, I think we are going to need a big umbrella while watching!

For this card I have used another Tilda from the Princess collection, this is the first time I have inked her up, when I coloured her in, the papers that I had in mind didn't actually go, I should of checked before I started colouring, then I remembered that I had bought a few of the Magnolia 6 x 6 papers so I have used those instead.

Rain, rain go away it looks like it is going to be a damp and misterable day today. 

On Monday I joined a running club for beginners this is coming from the person who always said they never saw the point of running :) only if there was a shop at the end of it :), I ran 2 miles again yesterday and went to a Zumba class last night, I think my legs with be stiffening up as the day goes on!!.

I can't believe how fast 2 weeks comes around and still no blogging inbetween!!  Over on the Truly Scrumptious Challenge Blog this weeks its distress, die cuts / punches.

I distressed the paper with a TH distresser tool that I have had for years, I have die cut the swirl - I can't remember the name of it, also the butterflies are die cut.
