Anyway I got these LO's done yesterday so I can lay in front of the tv today and plan a few things that are due next week.
This one was a challenge at Butterfly crafts were Karen supplied a list to try and include on your LO.
Polka dots
Orange
Gingham Ribbon
Butterfly
Scalloped edge
Turquoise
Cherries
Pins
Felt
Bling
This was for the other challenge DT but it looked fun. I dodn't include the cherries or the felt and the bling is subtle, a bit of glitter on the butterflies wings. Give it a go, the major prize is still up for grabs.
The next challenge begins on the 1st of April and I am still trying to come up with my take on the interesting visual challenge Karen has set for us this time - stay tuned.
He learnt this from his big sister and never fails to amuse me. He has no idea what he is doing, only the suspicion that he looks cute doing it.This is for one of my new fav challenge sites - twisted sketches.
The twist this week was green and although it is looking surprisingly green around here at the moment, I chose to go back in time, to a place some say is best forgotten. A place where flounces, taffeta and spots were the height of fashion. Yes back to the 80's. This was the first dress I paid for myself and i wore it to many occasions, luckily my social circle was reasonably diverse so no one noticed, or cared for that matter, that it was dragged out of the cupboard again...
The only thing missing was the shoulder pads but I think they were more early 80's.
And that is my husband (on the right) and his best man I am with but we didn't go out until probably 18 months after this photo was taken.
I love the texture of this cardstock but it doesn't show up too well on the photo's.

I agree with you, the texture on that black cardsstock is great! I love the letters you used for the title too - who made them?
