Kit Swop on DC

Made this for the Kit swop that Tanya on the DC Forum runs.
Used a Whiff of Joy image from the spring club and some lovely papers from Papermania. Just love these swops it is a blank swop where you both make a card from the same materials and then when the 2nd person has made theirs they open your card and compare. Used Pastal colours for a change.

2 Challenges in 1

Made this for the Just Magnolia from their wonderful sketch and the colours are from the DC Forum Tilda challenge set by Patsi she also set the condition that there was to be 3 buttons and bling. Hope these match. The paper is from CCS and the rest is from my stash. The tilda is from the Spring club one of my faves.

Well Son Is Back At Base

Well son has gone back seemed strange not making him a cuppa this morning but did send a text wishing a good day and got one back straight away wishing me a good one and a little note saying he was missing me too. Lol. Now who is missing who the most he had to do his own bed and breakfast well walk to breakfast shop and back to washing and ironing his own stuff. I guess it is nice to be missed for something either way.
