Gorgeous Hanglar !



Good morning and another bright and sunny one it is too !

I had the most wonderful surprise on Friday, a lovely letter from my fabulous and ultra talented friend, Heather. Heather has just joined us on the Simon Says Stamp team and of course, she has been my long standing teamie on Basic Grey Challenges. Anyway, not only did she brighten my day with her words but she brightened it even further by sending me some of her gorgeous Hanglar's !!! I had to promise her that I would make time for myself and I would use them so that is what I did yesterday and I'm entering my card for the Lovely Hanglar Only Challenge whose theme is "Shabby".



The DP's are K&Co "Life's Journey" and I distressed these with a Tim Holtz distresser, inked with vintage photo distress ink and added some gold stickles to the edges. I also used a gold leaf pen for the smaller square edges.

The image was coloured with ProMarkers and I made a frame from the nestie with pumice stone distress ink (love this colour !).

The large flower I made myself from cross stitch fabric, distressed it with vintage photo distress ink and old lace glimmer mist. The button is from my stash. The roses, pins, ribbon, lace and flat backed pearls are also from my stash.

What gorgeous images these are to colour - thank you soooo much darlin !!!! Lots of the goodies I used can be purchased in the Simon Says Stamp Store.

I also had a lovely surprise and WOW this morning ! Have you seen THIS on the Simon Says Stamp Blog - yes, its all about me, little ole me and I'm amazing at the lovely words they are using about me !! Thank you so much to Heidi and Steph - I love you both !!

You will also see that they are telling you my next big news - I am being published !! I shall be in next month's Cardmaking and Papercraft Magazine. I can't tell you how excited I am and can't wait to see my work in the magazine ! I shall jump up and down and show you more next month once the magazine has been published !!!




Right, I think that is enough excitement for one day ! Thank you so much for your visit and for any comments you may leave. As always, they mean so much and it was lovely of you to visit me today.

Have a great Sunday and enjoy the sunshine.

Love 'n' hugs to you all,
