Cherish each passing moment - Just Magnolia & hAnglar & stAnglar challenge + Simon says stamp challenge

Good morning everyone, I'm sorry I haven't been blogging around you all much this week but I have kinda a virus type thingy (you can see why I never took up medicine cant you lol), I will be fine but cant shake it and my temperature is up and down like a roller blind and I have been in bed most nights very early which is not like me I have always been a night owl...I hate these things don't you but you just have to let them run but hopefully I will stay awake long enough to catch up with you all this weekend...I haven't a clue what I'm going to do with all my time when my Dad goes away on his jaunts you know...I guess a lot more crafting and tidying will be done...well that's the plan anyway...well its Friday and today I have a double post day and will be back later because Crafts and Me are having a blog hop with loads and loads of prizes, it goes live at 6pm so pop back then to join in...this mornings card is for our new challenge at Just Magnolia & hAnglar & stAnglar challenge and its time for the Monthly challenge which means anything goes everyone and we have an added option of Buttons if you would like to use it...if you enter this week we are holding a DT call so if you would like to be considered just put DT after your name in the entry
I used this fabulous Tilda with Stuffed animal which is from the Butterfly Dreams collection, I bought her at Bunny Zoe's Crafts, I coloured her with distress inks and teamed her up with this amazing K&Co Classic K McKenna Green floral paper, isn't it gorgeous, I cut some of the flowers and leaves out and added a mix of buttons from my stash...I finished a sentiment which is one of my amazing prizes I won from Whimsy stamps...this ticket stamp is from one of the new release its called Treasured Moments tickets, you can get it from Whimsy stamps or for those in the UK Bunny Zoe's has it too...I used the lush sketch from Simon Says Stamp challenge for my card...I will be back at 6pm so will speak to you all then...have a fab day everyone

    I'm so sorry to hear that you've fallen prey to the dreaded lurgy, Mina but here's hoping you'll be better soon.
    The card is gorgeous, as always! Your colouring of her beautiful flowing, hair is amazing! Of course her hair is just like mine - not! The hairdresser has cropped my curls so that they're 2" long at the longest point - must update the piccy on my blog!
