Good morning everyone are you having a lovely Easter week then, have you done anything exciting or are there some lucky one or two of you actually off to somewhere warm for the Easter break...if there is then tell us all so we can be green with envy...I would so love a week or two in the sun wouldn't you somewhere to warm my poor cold bones...well this is Phil's last day off work and hes back tomorrow, I will miss him but it will also be nice to get some me time if you know what I mean...well at least some me crafting time anyway lol...we were in town yesterday afternoon and stopped for lunch at a local coffee shop settled down with our paninis and coffee and on the next table were 5 twenty somethings...every single one of them was either on an iphone or tablet, fingers flipping like they were possessed hardly a word spoken between them...they finished and got up and I heard one girl say to the other...'I have really missed these coffees together haven't you' lol...seriously they could have just text, messaged or skyped (is there a plural of skype?) each other and saved on the coffee don't you think...whatever happened to the art of conversation...don't get me wrong I'm as addicted to technology as anyone else and post every day on here chatting away but given the choice of chatting to you all over coffee give me the coffee chat any day...right now onto my card for today...I so want these red glasses don't you...this cutie is of course from Mo's Digital Pencil, now who else could draw this sweetie...this is the gorgeous Fabulous coloured with distress inks and teamed up with some of my last papers from the Teresa Collins Design Now and Then paper pad I bought it ages ago from Bunny Zoe's Crafts so I don't think its in stock atm though, I finished with some more of the lush Bunny Zoe's wired gingham ribbon this one is the Gingham Wired Edge Gold Thread Ribbon - Burgundy one, I also added a few flowers cut from a page from the same pad as an embellishment...the lush sketch is from the Sweet Sketch Wednesday Challenge and I'm also entering it for the Simon Says Stamp Challenge and the Sweet Stampin Challenge too...Phil's cooking tonight so we are heading to the shops to buy supplies for it today, I haven't a clue what hes making but as he cooks brilliantly I'm looking forward to it...have a fabulous day everyone

Love your card Mina. We enjoyed a warm and sunny weekend here on Crete with temperatures of 22+ °C, but today the sun has decided to take a break and there seems to be a storm brewing. The first tourists also seem to have found their way to our lovely island.
Oh Mina, this is absolutely adorable. I really love the combination of papers and colors you have used on your card. Your image is just too cute!! Thanks for joining us and be sure to comment so that your card will be entered into our grand prize drawing.

Oh I totally agree Mina, the technology today is ruining the real live conversation. Especially young people they are so alienated ... well but you can't stop technology so what can we do?! I love your cute little card ... such a cutie with her red glasses and I love the papers too. ruining
Oh, I soo love her! I already have her on my PC =), but not made a card yet!! Yours is awsome!!!
And yes...I can understand your thoughts about these Twens texting! I so often think the same!!!! I have a Teenager here in the house and she does not understand me....well...you do!! ;)

Such a cute card! That image is adorable, and you colored it perfectly! :) Thank you for joining us in the "Anything Goes" challenge over at the Simon Says Stamp challenge blog this week! xxo
Oh, what a darling card. Love the glasses, too. I need to learn how to color with the distress inks. I feel the same way you do about all this texting and whatever else people are doing all the time when they are together. What a waste.

Oh I love this image how she is she, I love her glasses too, and colored beautifully, thanks for sharing Mina. I don't even own a cell phone, so I'm sad the younger people don't know what they are missing....
Oh, I love this image! She looks fabulous coloured with distress inks with her funky red glasses! Great design and papers too!
Give me a face-to-face chat over technology any day!!!
