Morning All...

Hi Everyone,
Wow this is early for me but we have so much to do today..We have to go to the landfill site as Hubby cut my lovely Dad's hedge down yesterday evening he can't mange to cut it anymore because it means going up steps so his lovely neighbours have put up a 6 foot fence and have said they will keep it maintaned my Dad's side as well they are so kind and such a lovely couple..My Dad has a large garden the same  as we do so it's getting harder for us to look after both but we'll cope I'm sure..we also have to go to town for some bits and pieces I need to go to the craft shop to get my bits for my next class so all in all a very busy day...Anyway onto my card this is the one I was making for my friends daughter,she loves purple,books and sparkle so I hope I have them all covered, what do you think....

I have used a bookatrix embossing board to get the shape it actually has three papes but the pic is not doing it justice and the camera battery died after this two pics so I will try to put another one on later to show you.. and I used used lots of purple card from my stash..
The image is from Pink Gem Designs it's Chloe on her swing I have cut her out with my nesties and coloured with polychromos pencils blended with sansador and paper stumps...



The ribbon is from my stash as are the flowers which I think came from hobbycraft ages ago..
The sentiment is also from Pink Gem designs but I have cut it up and mounted it onto purple again.
The leaves are punched with my McGill punch..Think that is everything..Oh I would like to enter this into


Don't forget to come back later to see who has won the candy which was kindly sponsored by Christina at
A Maze of Memories..I will try to start my next candy at the same time so I may be a bit late posting the winner but please bear with me..Hope you all have a lovely day..Take care..
Mandy xx

This is lovely and so ironic. I just posted a card this week using that same Die and used purple. I also asked my readers if they can think of any other ways to use that die besides as a book. Do you have any ideas? I would like mine to be a bit more versatile
