I then used my nesties to cut the image out and a scalloped mat to put it on....The papers are all from Cosmo cricket called Pixie-licious...The bottom one has swirls of flowers and butterflies on it....I've stitched around all the panels....
The gorgeous flowers are all from Mulberry Crafts and the fab seam binding is from crafty ribbons...The pearl pins are from my stash and the sentiment is from a Whimsy Stamp set....I've used some pearls to make two swirls..Oh and the purple and orange card is from my stash....Think that's it..Please try and join in the challenge with us....
Just an update for all those lovely people who have e-mailed and asked the question...
My cousin has not been very well at all her 3rd lot of Chemo treatment made her very ill so she has had to stop Chemo treatment and she has also had a heart attack as if she hasn't got enough to be going on with..Her daughter Ann-Marie is still in hospital but is doing alright and my Mum has been told that she won't be offered another new hip as her health generally is not good enough and also her age at 80 is against her so it means that she has become so much less mobile and has to be careful not to let her hip get out of line with her knee,so for me it means I am doing more for both my Mum and Dad,I'm doing my best to keep up with my crafting and blogging,as I love doing both and I love my DT positions,but I'm not having as much time to just blog hop as you can image with my own house and family to look after as well, so please can I ask you to leave me a comment and I'll return the visit..I would also like to thank you all for your continued support of both me and my blog...Take care....

Love this card Mandy. Great DP and that image is so sweet.
Thanks for the update about your cousin, her daughter and your parents. I was wondering recently how they all were doing. It's difficult to do all you have to do and find time to blog too. I'm sure we all understand if you don't have time to visit. We can still visit you!

I've been wondering how your family is doing, so I'm glad you posted an update. I wish it had been better news, but I guess there's no control over the outcome, just hopes and wishes that things will improve. I'm struggling with my own demons and the support of friends and family really helps. Best wishes, once again, to you and yours. Don't get too busy trying to do it all; prioritize and stick with the most important things and make sure to take care of yourself and your needs too. Thinking of you.
Sorry to hear of all the problems you've been having lately Mandy with looking after everyone. I hope things ease up a bit for you soon. Thanks for playing along at Bearly Mine this week.
