Miss You.....

Good morning everyone...Hope you all had a great week-end.  I went to LOTV on Saturday for a colouring class, really had a great time, and it is practice makes perfect now lol!! The promarkers still don't feel quiet right but I am going to keep trying them lol!!  Dawny P was a fantastic teacher and had lots of patience:).  Now on to my card for this week, we were sent some lovely images to have a play with from Julie at "Ladies That Craft" and this was my choice..it's called "Washing Line"...when I first saw it, I thought of using it as a "Missing You" card, as there is only clothing for one on the line, or maybe a "New Home" card...I think this image has lots of potential, don't you, like fairies and goblins etc lol!! You must pop over to "Make it Monday #113" linky party, and check out my teamies cards...WOW!! they are amazing!! I have used some of my new dies that I got from Which Craft show last week...The flower is a Sweet William by Cheery Lyn, and the olive leaves are also Cheery Lyn, arn't they fantastic..and my lovely flower border is a Memory Box die, isn't it gorgeous...
