Holiday Transport....


Yoooo Hooo look who has finally found time to make something, must admit it was lovely to sit and have some me time.... Unfortunately my Dad had a fall over the Jubilee weekend then my Mum has had a really nasty sickness bug and on top of that I'm still running around after my lovely Daughter who is doing her GCSE's only two more weeks and 4 exams to go,and my Hubby has gone on to working nights until after the Olympics oh my that has taken some getting use to having him around during the day so you can see what I've been up to and why my blog posts and visits have been non existent....

So here is my card...


This is a sample for Stamposaurus using one of their fabulous stamps called Campervan front view I've coloured with promarkers and flexmarkers.......The papers are from a pad but I've lost the cover I think it's one by Cosmo Cricket but not sure....


The Stars have been punched out with two Woodware punches and a glass gem placed in the middle....The sentiment is from the Tim Holtz pad and I've run it through a ribbler....The ribbon is from Crafty Ribbons and is from the new Grosgrain Saddle Stitch range there are some fabulous colours to choose from...
It's lovely to be back posting on here here's hoping I'll have some more to show you over the next few days....
Have a lovely week...

Glad to see you had some time to play! Sounds VERY hectic just now for you. Great card! Fun image and great papers to go along with it. Almost wonder if this may be you wanting to pack up and get away for a little while.

Such cars can be seen, unfortunately, very often on the highway. But on your card, it looks beautiful. The card is fantastic.
