your last chance...

Good morning everyone, how are you all...well and happy I hope...Phil had to work a night shift last night as there was some urgent work needed finished before Tuesday morning and he had to manage it...it was so so strange being alone again for a night, I don't like it and don't want it to happen again (well not often anyway) you would think after ten years I would be used to being on my own and I was I guess but because Phil's home now, I'm getting used to company every night...did you all go aaaaaaaahhhhhhhh you soppy thing Mina, bet you did lol...tell you what I did find myself doing though, talking to the TV and myself again, how mad is that disagreeing with a tv...mind it could be worse it could have disagreed back now that would really mean I was going nuts wouldn't it lol, oh and before I forget today is your last chance to enter my followers candy, so if you havent already hop on down now to join in, you never know do you and you have to be in it to stand a chance of winning...anyway onto my card for today, how beautifully vintage is this fabulous little Stampavie Sarah Kay - Madeline stamp, I love the way she looks like an old photograph don't you...that's why I kept the colours so simple for her I wanted to give her an aged photo look...I coloured her with distress inks and it just goes to show how few colours are needed to get an effect doesn't it...the fantastic papers and the two tags at the sides are from the Prima 6x6" Paper Pad - Almanac paper pad, I'm loving Prima pads atm and I'm so pleased I bought some of the new release ones as they are so beautifully soft and vintage, the pad and stamp are from Bunny Zoe's Crafts...I finished with some lace across the middle although you can barely see it, a gingham brown bow and a couple of buttons...the fab sketch is from the Sweet Stop challenge and I'm also entering it for the Crafty Catz challenge and Crafty Creations Challenge too...whatever I'm up to today it will have to be quiet because poor Phil will be catching up with some sleep I think, I might just head out so he gets some peace and quiet...whatever your up to today I hope you have a fantastic one
