Pink & Green!

Good morning - Monday again! How did that happen? I think I must have blinked and missed the weekend! We've had a busy weekend and there never seems to be enough hours in the day. It was my daughter's 19th birthday last Friday and on Saturday we had about 9 or 10 of her friends here before they all headed off to town! They don't go out till about 10pm - just when we're starting to think about locking up for the night! Oh to have the energy of youth again! And my youngest is due back from his school trip to France tonight. We've spent all weekend emptying his room out, sorting wiring, putting a new worktop in for his computer, etc., and clearing out rubbish! It's quite awe-inspiring how much clutter a 13 year old can accumulate! So, just got today now to get it back into some semblance of order before he returns! And amidst all this I've had no time (or energy!) for crafting this weekend and I'm definitely feeling withdrawal symptoms!
I made this card at the end of last week - using one of my favourite LOTV images called 'Times to Treasure'

I've kept this one fairly simple (for me lol!) with a limited amount of patterned paper, etc., and I was quite pleased with the 'fresh' feel that it has. The image is coloured with promarkers

I've mounted this on coredinations card and just used one panel of paper from First Edition 'Birdsong' 6x6 pad. 

The sentiment stamp is from Whimsy Stamps (with the Whimsy ticket die) and the flowers and leaves are from Wild Orchid. I'm not sure about my flower arranging skills though! The sheer ribbon in that lush deep pink is from Joanna Sheen, and the pins are from my stash. 

Well, I'd better get on with sorting Jack's room! But I'm determined to get some crafting in somewhere today!   Back soon, Kim x
