Hello dear peeps

So another weekend over in a flash, I have spent most of it crafting though in the warm so can't really complain!  Need to keep everything crossed today as hubby will find out  if he has got a job he had an interview for last week and also has another interview today too.  He got made redundant last July and it really has been a struggle, there is just not much out there at all!!  We need something to come in PDQ I need new copics LOL!

Ok so my card today is another Marci this time she has a little heart balloon and is teamed up with  beautiful Carta Bella papers and OMG I am not good a cutting out, mind you smaller scissors might help as mine are rather large, will invest in a little pair I think!!  Here she is hope you likey............

Oh bummer Monday again......someone hit rewind please!!!  Actually I had quite a lazy weekend naughty me but we all need them now and again me thinks.  Okay so today's card is one I have been asked to make and the image was chosen so I know that's ok and then the spec was animal print and blond hair and good for a laugh so I hope this fits the bill!
