This going to be my last post for a couple of weeks, as tomorrow we are setting off on our long awaited trip to the UK.    We’re driving from our home in the Limousin, in the centre of France, to Scotland, which is a long way, but we’re doing it in easy stages.   On the way to and from Scotland we’re staying in Widnes – where we lived for 18 years before moving to France, so it will be interesting to see how it has changed.  I’m really looking forward to seeing both my sons, and I’m also looking forward to visiting the shops and – hopefully – stocking up on some crafty goodies.

This image seems right for a Spring card, along with the flowery and embossed papers, and I wanted to do just one more card before I have a “card free gap”.  Before we come home I’ll be checking on some of the challenges, so I can spend the journey planning what I’ll make when we get back.

  What I used –

Digi image – Emma bloom beautifully by Tiddly Inks – coloured with Promarkers

Papers – from LOTV and my stash

Dies – Spellbinders decorative oval, butterfly from Kensington border by Memory Box, flowers from Joy Crafts

Embossing folder – daisies         Ribbon, gems and charm from my stash

Sentiment – LOTV
