togetherness...

Good morning everyone I hope your all doing great...I'm feeling loads better and even went out yesterday, I invited everyone for dinner last night then wasn't feeling great so a trip to M&S was called for, thank goodness for their goodies, we had a lovely meal and some great chat, nothing like it for lifting the illness spirits is there...I even did a bit of crafting yah...Phil's home and ouch his chin and arm looks so sore, I feel bad for not giving massive sympathy now and I always knew yomping across all those fields in the great outdoors wasn't good for you lol see exercise is dangerous...I was going to say to him crafting is safer but then sometimes it isn't with me is it...my card for today is using this stunning stamp from Wild Rose Studio, isn't it fantastic, its called Wild Rose Studio - Bella and Butterfly its so beautifully soft and pretty isn't it and a dream to colour, I teamed it up some of the lush papers from the Echo Park - This & That Charming paper pad, this is a lush pad and the spotted and pink papers were perfect for this soft looking stamp, the stamp and pad are from Bunny Zoe's Crafts...I finished my card with a piece of ribbon with a sentiment on it, a lush chocolate brown gingham ribbon, lace and a fantastic Prima flower...the lush sketch is from Tuesday Morning sketches challenge and I'm also entering it for the Anything Goes challenge and Allsorts challenge (I chose pink, yellow and blue from the bingo chart)...I'm going to do a bit more crafting today I have loads and loads and loads to catch up with so might not surface from my craft room until tomorrow, whatever your up to today keep your head down remember its Friday the 13th
