Fancy Finery

It is World Card Making Day today and that is all the excuse I need - LOL! Cleaning my desk is always the intention but hardly ever the completed deed - I start with great determination, but it does not take long to find something that inspires me and I am off creating....


like this divine digi from The Graphic Fairy


It has been sitting on my desk for months (and months and months and months....) and has been layered onto a Spellbinders Classic Oval LG using my Grand Calibur


Some delish DP, a lavish lace bow along with divine bling and this card is complete


and there you have it - how nice it is to see one UFO (unfinished object) completed and into the next one - I will be back with more to show you today - I am on a mission.....LOL!

This card is for the following challenges:

My house looks like a Hospital Ward today - my three teenagers have come down with a NASTY Flu and high temperatures, after spending three days in bed I have moved them out into the loungeroon for a movie day - each one rugged up with the quilt and tissues - the coughing is continuous, but hopefully today they will turn a corner - as for me, I feel it is my duty to stay near them - so I have set up with my crafting supplies on the dining room table, far enough away to be in the ''firing line"!  I do have to add, I am not totally SLACK, it is only 9am and I have changed all of their beds with the frist load of washing on, so they are nice and fresh, done the b'fast run - for those who are feeling like it, medicated them all, got drinks and organised the inhalers and vapourisers...and did I mention that my DH is coming down with it too.....an interesting day here! LOL! 

Thank you for stopping by - it is lovely to see you - I am sure you won't catch anything  LOL!  I hope you have a great weekend and manage to join in with World Card Making Day at some level!  God bless you!

  10. Oh dear! Prayers and wishes for a very speady recovery, especially for DH as it seems men are the worst patients! =) (Maybe yours is different?) And that you do not catch the tiniest bit of the bug!
    This card is delightful and so quickly put together. That lace is wonderful!
    It's a struggle today, spin some luscious new fiber for an online frolic, or make cards. The spinning has won out so far, but it's only 2:30 in the afternoon here! Still plenty of time to make cards, too! =)
