a friend called Freddie...

Good morning everyone...before I tell you about today's card I wanted to explain why I haven't been myself over the last few weeks...I have been a bit subdued and not myself because of something that happened in my crafting life, something very unpleasant and so upsetting it knocked me on my bum, I wont bother you all by explaining it to you but I just wanted to say with Phil's help and a very good friends advice I have picked myself up and am coming out fighting, I dusted myself off and I'm back on form, I will also be answering your emails as usual now too as I haven't been, so please keep sending them I'm happy to help any way I can as always...I'm sorted now and back with a vengeance lol...we had a nice day yesterday nothing exciting but it was lovely to spend a day you don't usually together, did that make sense at all?...but I knew what I meant lol...onto my card for today which is using another of the stunning Fairy Glen release from Sugar Nellie called Faye and Freddie...how cute is this little darling on her toadstool with her frog friend...I must admit I have loved using this new release, they are fab to colour...I coloured her with distress inks and teamed her up with this amazing Echo Park paper from the A Walk in the Park collection called Playful Stripes, the green is the reverse...I added some of the new lush flowers I bought from Charmed Cards and Crafts, the little glittery ones and the leaves are from the Petaloo Cream velvet hydrangea pack and the lush pink one is of course a Prima...gorgeous aren't they...I finished with a ceramic sentiment from my stash...the lush sketch is from Inspirational Card Sketches and I'm also entering it for the Sweet Stampin challenge too....ooooohhhhh did you see I won the fabulous Chris's candy yesterday, I was gobsmacked...wwwwoooohhhhoooo papers to play with...I'm having a crafting day today a bit of play time...whatever your up to today I have you have a brilliantly happy one
