Pink Gem DT Card...

Afternoon All, Where has the sunshine gone own up which of you has it because it's certainly not here it's pouring down with rain now it's been overcast all morning....I must just tell you about my encounter with the postman this morning,I had just ordered something to be delivered tomorrow and I noticed the postman coming up the drive so thought I'll just ask him to put the parcel in the usual place tomorrow because I have to go into town,so I shut Jack the dog in the dining room so he couldn't rush at the postman when I opened the door, only little did I know that he was actually not in there so when the front door opened he rushed from behind me knocked me into the arms of a very surprised postman who then dropped all his post onto the drive,well me being me I got the giggles,you should have seen the poor postman's face..Anyway enough about my crazy antics here is my Pink Gem Designs DT card.....


I would like to enter it into the following challenge....

I have rotated the sketch to fit the image I hope this is ok but if not just delete my entery...
This is one of the new stamps that Janet has just released over at Pink Gem Designs she is called Ella isn't she adorable...I have coloured her with my polychromos pencils blended with sansador...The DP is by American Crafts but it's a very old design...the glitter card,flowers and ribbon are from my stash...I have used a border punch by EK success on the white card and punched out the butterfly twice and layered together....

Also don't forget to go over and checkout the latest challenge at A Gem of a Challenge there are lots of lovely stamps up for grabs this month to celebrate my birthday...Also I must tell you I was so lucky this week I won at Winter Wonderlands challenge and I also won the Truly Scrumptious Challenge, two fabulous challenges why not pop over and join in with their latest challenge's...off for some lunch now then I'm going to try and make another card before everyone comes home....Catch you all later...

So was the postman hot?? LOL

That was a cute story. Your picture on here of Jack reminds me of my border collie - Abby - who died of a heart attack last summer at 10 years old. Jack is very handsome.

I love this delicate looking card. Very pretty.

Very funny! We used to have a poodle puppy who got so excited to see the drycleaning delivery man that she ended up peeing in his pant cuffs every time he came. Thank goodness he got free drycleaning!
