My Kinda Housework!

Hello there, my lovely bloggy friends, hope this week has been going well, hasn't it been a cold week here in the UK, though! Have had to dig out my hubby's fleecy body warmers to wear to work as an extra layer of cosiness - I'm a June baby, I don't do cold, lol!!!

 

So I wanted to share a card today that features another stamp that was a Christmas pressie.

This is Emily from Wild Rose Studio - isn't she a wee doll! When I put the hoover round at home both of my dogs are shut away in other rooms as they both feel it necessary to try and attack the blooming thing (and trip me up at the same time)

 

 

This card features

• WRS stamp coloured with promarkers
• tag is sizzix die and have used cuttlebug folder to emboss sentiment
• Martha Stewart border punch
• papers were freebie downloads
• flowers, bow, button and doily from stash - FYI if you are a doily fan, watch this space???

I would like to enter this into these challenges:

Hello there and thanks for visiting me today....hope you're having a lovely weekend, sending you hugs if things aren't quite so good at the moment. No snow in my part of the world but boy is it windy out there today, as I type this post I have the tennis on the TV and no great plans to do a lot else today.

 

So for the card I am sharing today I have used one of the adorable stamps that my hubby got me for Christmas (stick to the list, its easier that way, lol!) and is "A trio of Posies" from LOTV. Which has been about for a while.

this card also features:
