I still can't believe I did that lol!! Hope I remember this week lol!!.. Anyway It's time for Make It Monday#112 Linky Party, and we are sponsored by the lovely Mandy from Cupcake Cards and Craft....My card for this week is a lovely image from Saturated Canary called Blanche .  I made this card for Debs 40th Birthday, and this image is just as I see my little girl now... Beautiful... inside and out, Sophisticated, Confident and she truly is a "A gift of Love" to both myself and my hubby David...


This is the inside

I coloured Blanche with my Prisma pencils, and the lovely papers are Prima - Madeline collection. The beautiful lace is Wild Orchid Crafts. The corners are from Whimsey Stamps. The dies are Spellbinders Lacy Ovals and Marianne LRO157 Flower..
