Emma in torn jeans

Afternoon all
Firstly a huge hello to my new follower and welcome to my blog-it's lovely to have you join me.
I can't believe it's trying to snow again, just what is it with our weather in the UK? I can't wait till my lovely holiday-we are off to Florida and I am SO excited. Looking through my holiday clothes though its hard to believe I will be wearing vest tops in less than 5 weeks!!
My copy of Quick Cards came today and they published my letter with a picture of my little Valentine treat bags, so exciting!! They did say I was from Australia though-I wish lol, a huge difference to snowy Maidstone!!
Well after the other days interruptions I tried again to get some craft time in before our weekend of decorating and this time I actually managed a whole two hours totally interruption-free, woo hoo!!!
I decided yesterday that it was about time I got myself some new images to work with, sometimes I feel that I have used some of my images just once too often so I had a little look through some of the digi stores and came across this gorgeous image at Pink Gem designs called Emma in Torn Jeans-I fell in love with her immediately so had to buy her! She was just a treat to colour and last night I ended up colouring up three different versions -which kind of defeats the object of trying to use different images I guess!
For my card today I used my First Edition Spring Drop papers and added some stripey paper from an old Daisy and Dandelion pack. I die cut the image into an oval and made a larger oval shape from Kraft with my fancy edged scissors. I cut out a banner to go across the card and added a sentiment, some card candy and a flower-hope you like her.


I would like to enter her into the following challenges:

Cards in Envy challenge - Dots and Stripes
Fab N Funky challenge 159 - Flower power
A Gem of a Challenge - Dies and punches
Jelly Park challenges - Get in Shape

Well I hope you all have a wonderful weekend, thanks so much for popping in today.
Until next time.
Aloha
Andree xx
