I'm back to normal !!! ha ha

Hi Everyone,
I think everything is back to normal,or as normal as it can be...My gum infection is a lot better and I don't look like an hamster anymore..we still have the problems with the sewer pipes but that's life...I had the house to myself today for the first time in over two weeks so I set to and did a good old spring clean it was lovely and sunny here so it was a real joy to have all of the windows open, when I had finished I settled down and made my Pink Gem Designs DT card...I love this image it's called Bunny Milly...

I made two of the diamond spring cards and then stuck them together I love this shape of card as you push it together and it fits into a square envelope..I have coloured bunny Milly with polychromos pencils blended with sansodor.....
the paper is from a pad in the Smirks range...The easter eggs are a hero arts stamp which i have coloured again with polychromos pencils and then glittered them and stuck them down the side on some foam pads just to give a bit of dimension....
The flowers are from my stash as are the buttons in the middle of them...The sentiment is also from Pink Gem Designs....This is a side shot of the card to try and show the dimension....Let me know what you think of this shape....I  have lots of things to show you which I have been making...I will be back tomorrow with some more goodies to add to my candy as promised...Off now to load the dishwasher then have a nice soak this housework lark sure takes it out of me..See you all tomorrow...

Hi Mandy (only me again!) It's 10:22 PM here in US (California) so you are keeping me company until my bedtime :)

I used some of the roses you sent to me on my Prairie Fairy card this week. They were the perfect color! Thanks again for the candy...and for the sweet words on my blog - mwah!!!
