A Long Time Coming... with LOTV Fairy Catkins

Hi everyone, Im so sorry its been sooo long since my last post on here. Ive not been keeping very well at all and just totally lost my mojo. My poor stash has been left totally neglected apart from the odd time i pulled it all out to see if my mojo might come out with it! lol

Anyway the other night after having a look at Lili of the Valleys Simply Print products i thought what a brilliant way to get back into my card making without the pressue of colouring up images so i bought a few of these cuties.

This one is called Fairy Catkins which was bought from here at LOTV

I used my Teresa Collins 12x12 Everyday Moments papers, Spellbinders dies, Marianne Design Dies, Memory box butterfly dies and a swirl cut from my silhouette portrait. (off which im having to get the hang of again as the software updates are so different from before!!) 

Also used some Lace, ribbon, a flower and gems from my stash.

Thanks for stopping by and i hope to get back to posting regularly again. 

I thought id enter a few challenges too..

Get in Shape!!

Hello, Well what a day. I am late with this post because i was not feeling great today. We also had Carries school harvest service but just as i was leaving i got a call saying my mum had fallen down the stairs. She has had so many falls lately. Her brain Tumour has left her with mobility and co-ordination problems as well as short term memory loss and very poor concentration. We are not sure why she falls. She just has no idea. We got the Careline service installed for her so she has her button on her wrist which has came in handy a few times!

Anyway enough of me babbling on. I am here with my card for the new Elphine House Australia challenge!
