Hello and TGI Saturday !!

I have a bit of a rough week. Feeling rotten and then Carrie got ill too. Carrie is still on her Immune suppressant meds for her AutoImmune Disease and she catches everything...twice over!!

She went to school yesterday and was not pleased because i sent a note with her to say if she had work to catch up on, could it be send home with her and we can get it done over the weekend!! You can imagine her face when she was handed Maths worksheets, a new reading book and a spelling sheet!! 

Anyway just popped by with a card i made recently for an Engagement. 

I had a go at a "Double Zig Zag" card

I thought white on white would be a nice change and yes...NO IMAGE!! Ok it did test my will power!

I also made a pocket at the back for a tag to fit in. The bow pulls out the tag.

Here it is... Excuse all the photos but not a easy card to photograph!

Embossing Folder - Cuttlebug Textile Texure Embossing Folder

Memory Box Vivienne Butterfly

Spellbinders Fancy Tags

Flowers from Wild Orchid Crafts, Pearl Beading, Pearls, Satin white Flowers, Pink Ribbon for bow and Decorative Pin put together myself.
