Home from holiday and raring to go......

Evening everyone........at last, I've found time to sit down and update my blog, oh how I've missed this!!
Well, we got home last week after a fab holiday in Tenerife. Most days the temperature was over 30 degrees and we both have great tans, only problem is, it was straight back into Winter clothes...hey-ho. 
Now we can start looking ahead our next holiday in June, but before that a certain little lady will be arriving....just two weeks to wait now, it's so exciting!
Anyway, tonight I have two very simple cards to show you. I made these a few weeks ago for a craft sale, and they were the first 2 cards to sell...*smiling*



White linen cardstock from
 Papermill
I stamped and heat-embossed the sentiment..



Ribbon and pearl embellies from stash.





I think the flourish is a Kanban stamp, bought off QVC, eons ago.



Doesn't the linen cardstock look good on a CAS card?


Have you checked out Papermill's new challenge blog yet. There is an Easter challenge running at the moment, for a fab prize
Easter Challenge










Well, that's it for tonight, hope you like these two cards. I'm off to catch up on everyones blogs, I've missed so much.
See you all tomorrow,
Barbara xx
