Our French exchange student has returned home to Lyon safely - we waved him off at 3.30am on Saturday! And via the wonders of t'internet, my son has heard from him and he's back home, tired, but had a great time here - thank goodness! I'm just hoping my son has a good time when he goes to stay in France with him and his family in a few weeks time!
But in between doing the laundry and getting the house back to normal (whatever that is!) I managed to make a card on Sunday. I recently bought some sentiment stamps from LOTV when they had an offer on and used one of them for this card
The papers are from K&Co and I've also used LOTV background stamps on the panels, together with some distress inks. I've added stitching, some lace and the die cuts are a Marianne heart and the LalaLand banner. So quite simple, but I like the effect of the layers and 'shabby' look. Mind you, with a scrummy combination of gorgeous papers and wonderful stamps, it doesn't take much effort on my part to make a card lol!
Back soon,
Kim x
