Purple Poppies

Hello all, and it's Friday again - sometimes the weeks just seem to fly by!  It was a cold and frosty morning here, but at least that means we've now got lots of bright crisp sunshine - so much better for the spirits than grey clouds and rain.  And it's nearly the weekend! Yippee!  So that means, weather permitting, that 'Operation Garden' will carry on, and I'll try to get it all looking a bit happier out there!  My daughter has offered to cook dinner on Sunday as she wants to try a new recipe she's found - that's just fine by me!  I'm all for encouraging them to try new things - especially if it means it saves me a job lol!  So hopefully I can get on with other jobs - and then when the usual shouts of 'What's for tea?' start, I can just point them in her direction....

Anyway, it's time for a new challenge over at CraftyCatz - and it's our monthly 'Anything Goes' which is always such a favourite with everyone!  We're sponsored by Bunny Zoe's and The Stamping Boutique this week, and I've used a Stamping Boutique digi for my card


I thought I'd try a colour I don't often use - purple!  And I think it looks ok!  The image was coloured with copics

A lovely lady at work had offered me some card as she had given up crafting - so naturally I'd said "Yes, please!".  Then she turned up with a HUGE bag of all sorts of gorgeous card and paper, with glitter card, embossed card, pearl card and some lovely foiled Hunkydory card - which you can see on here!  So, a very big Thank You to Carole - it should keep me going for a long while.....! 
The ribbon and pearl are from stash and the sentiment is from LOTV, and I've used a Martha Stewart border punch on the edge.
So do have a look at the fantastic inspiration from the DT over at CraftyCatz and then join us with your contribution - and remember, ANYTHING GOES!!!

Back soon,
