Good morning and welcome to my blog, yes I'm a little late this month posting my cards but the last 16 days have been so busy.

Happy New Year everyone.  This is a quick posting today as I thought I had posted this card last week.  I've been on my summer vacation at our beach house and we have very little if any internet access and when you do get it, it's like the old dial-up system which does my head in and my boys hate, at least it gets them outside and I did some cross stitch.  I'm home for a few days and then I'm going back again until the weekend.

Here is my card I made for 

Penny's Paper Crafty Challenge last week.

I used a Fred She Said image which I had on my computer for yonks and never used.

Card Recipe:

1. Base: White French Linen card.

2. Coloured card: Bazzill Arizona and Petal Soft two very old colours.

3. Design Paper: Kasiercraft Paper also quite old.

4. Two images from Fred She Said Design I used
