ReplyDeleteMorning Minah glad you got sorted with your swimsuit i have the problem of being too long in the body guess it was from when dad put me on the rack to strech me. lol. Love your paper piecing and your papers just a stunning and striking card.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful card Mina, I love the paper piecing. I'm glad you've now got your cossies, it's one less thing to worry about before your hols.

ReplyDeletewow thats what i call showing off mina she is stunning love the papers and of course the image
ReplyDeletekatex
Absolutely beautiful, Mina - it really is stunning!! Congrats on the swimsuits - I hope they're the perfect fit. The reason I say that is a group of my friends just went away to Cyprus and on the first day they were all round the pool. One of my friends dived in, her bikini top parted like a pair of curtains and her bottoms ended up round her ankles and our other two friend's husbands were standing round the pool!!! Curse those Primark bikinis!!! Ha, ha! Marie x
ReplyDeleteMina she is just adorable! I love the pretty colors and paper piecing!! I can't wait to get my stamp of her too!
ReplyDeleteI will be mailing your winning next week.
Hugs
