**************************Crafty Ribbons prize

A couple of weeks ago I entered the Spring Challenge for Crafty Ribbons and became second with an Easter card created for a friend

and here is the prize......

As someone who loves ribbons this was  perfect and I can't wait to use them on some of my cards. The ribbons have spring blooms on them and the colours are out of this world.

Thank you to the team at Crafty Ribbons.

Also a big thank you to Lindsey for the blog awards, I will send them on as soon as I have the time, everything seems to be happening at once this week. I am going to Belfast to the Creative Stitch and paper crafts show on thursday so I need to make a list of wanted items as I get sooooo excited that I forget half of what I need.

***************************************New shoes?? Yes please.

With spring well on the way it was time to design a new shoe in spring colours. The shoe is drawn and cut on Pazzles, the paper is from the Citrus Stack and the ribbon from my ribbon box.

******************Easelcard 2

My best friend in Belgium loves our cat Alfie so I made her a special card that she can put on her sideboard. I've kept it in the Irish colours and put some shamrocks on it to complete the theme as she loves Ireland.
It is an entry to
 Crafty Catz Weekly challenge nr 26.

*************************First easel card

After seeing lots of these cards on various blogs I could not resist trying to make an easel card. It was so easy and I realy enjoyed making this card. the paper is Laura Ashley, the pink butterfly was drawn and cut with Pazzles, the flowers are cut with Sizzix. Embossing is with a cuttlebug folder and the green butterfly is a charm.
