DDS #114 Pink and Purple Challenge

Afternoon All, 

Sorry I haven't been blogging much this week 

I haven't been able to get back in to sync after the funeral 

and I just seem to be exhausted all the time,

 I'm also finishing up work for the summer holidays 

and will be starting my new job in September working in a Montessori 

so have been going to work in the mornings training in the Montessori mid morning 

then back to work in the afternoon and then home to teach music or make my commissioned cards

 so I am physically exhausted and can't wait for the summer break :)

So anyway today is Thursday so that means it's challenge time over at Digi Doodle Shop

 and the theme this week is Pink and Purple :) 

I have used the gorgeous Little Momma stamp she is such a sweetie :)

Good Morning All,

Im back up and running yay !!

So because I had no internet I have had to catch up on all my orders 

so I haven't had much time to make cards for my blog 

but I just had to sit down last night and make this one up.

 I did a little and I mean a little tidy up of my craft room as I started 

and then got so overwhelmed with all the things I had to do I gave up lol. 

I was going through my 6x6 pads I have a load of them

 and found this fab Country Western type paper 

and the light bulb went off in my head to use it with the LOTV Yee Haa! stamp

 and it just so happens that the challenge over at LOTV this week is

 One for the Boys so here is my card.
