Some Good News........(and a card)

Afternoon everyone, from a now very wet Wiltshire....honestly, we're never happy are we? Personally, I couldn't care less what the weather does, as I'm cosy and warm in my craft room, but it's awful for those who are badly affected or those who work outside,,,i.e my son! Training dogs outside in this rain is awful, hey-ho!
Well, I've had some nice news this week.....Lynnda Worsnop from Oak House Studios has asked me to be guest blogger for February on the OHS blog, to say I'm thrilled is an understatement!
 I've been beavering away this weekend making some cards with Lynnda's lovely products....I think they'll be on her blog in time for Valentine's Day. Lynnda also has a Facebook page where she runs competitions for 'FREEBIES' (we all love these, don't we).....pop over and 'like' the page in readiness for the next 'giveaway'
Ok, onto today's card.......One of my lovely cyber-friends, Di, asked me to make a card for her daughter. I made a few for her to choose from, and this was one of them. (I'll show you the one Di chose later in the week.)





Flowers always look pretty... think some of these were from Wild Orchid Crafts

Sons are miracles too, though.....for all those like me who don't have a daughter :(
However, I now have a lovely daughter-in-law, Emma, and a grandaughter due in April, so that will make up for all the years I couldn't buy PINK !! (Sorry Nick xx)



I wanted to keep this card very 'soft', so didn't use too many embellies.....hope you like it.
I'd just like to say a big THANK YOU for all the wonderful comments on my last blog page....I was overwhelmed and so pleased you liked it

    WOW what fabulous news Barbara and so very well deserved too. I love visiting your blog as I get lots of inspiration.

    I know the feeling about not buying pink for years as I had 2 sons. Now I have 2 granddaughters and it sure is wonderful.

    Your card is absolutely stunning. I love that verse and the design of your card. The soft pastel shades are pink are beautiful.

    Hugs

    Barbara, this is sooo beautiful, love the pastel colours it makes it look so delicate. Just out of interest, is the wording a stamp? Saw you'd been invited by Oak House, well done and eagerly look forward to seeing what you create xxx
