A little bit of what you fancy!

Good morning all, and a scheduled post from me as I'll be on my way to work! And a big welcome to my new followers - I'm so chuffed that you like my crafty creations! I just hope you can cope with the waffle as well.
 I hope that your week has been a good one - and, even better, it's nearly the weekend!  Mind you, I can more or less guarantee that it'll rain on Sunday as we have a neighbourhood barbecue planned lol!  Our elderly neighbour is moving into sheltered accommodation so quite a few of us are getting together for a 'farewell' barbecue for him!  His daughter lives in Colorado in USA but is here for a couple of weeks to help him move so we wanted to do it before she goes back - but I just wish that we could count on the British summer to be a bit more reliable! Hey ho.  But, we're British! We'll "Carry On and Barbecue" come what may - but I've got a nasty suspicion that we'll have either soggy burgers or we'll end up all in our house. Sigh.  So please do a little 'sun' dance for us for an hour or so on Sunday tea time!

Anyway, as it's Friday it's time for a new challenge over at CraftyCatz!  We had some fabulous entries for our 'pink' challenge last week. Our lovely Dianne is hosting this week's challenge - and this week we're having a 'Pick n Mix' - in other words You choose what you want to do.....CHOICES  are ANYTHING GOES OR add in some EMBOSSING just for fun!!  If you choose to do Anything goes you will be entered into the draw for the sponsor prize from Yours and Mine papercraft.  But if you choose  to add in the fun part ...embossing .... you will be added into both draws for the chance to win from both sponsors...so its up to you!!    



I've used a House Mouse stamp 'Sunflower' coloured with copics and promarkers. The backing paper is from First Edition. I've added an embossed panel using Crafts Too folder (with distress inks) and a Tonic border punched edge and a few punched flowers. The image and sentiment dies are Spellbinders floral ovals. The sentiment is from LOTV. 
So I hope you'll pop over to the CraftyCatz challenge blog and have a look at the fantastic inspiration from the DT! And then join us with your Pick n Mix creation! 

Back soon,
Kim x
