I HAVE A SECRET TO SHARE............................

Afternoon all!

Hope you are all OK on this cold, wet afternoon. The snow is starting to go, but it's soooo icy and the weather peeps are saying it's gonna get colder again next week boo hoo :o(
So are you wondering what my little secret is?, well it started back in the summer when my lovely, talented crafty buddy Katina sent me a wonderful e-mail asking me if I would like to do some commission work for Quick cards made easy!, well after I fell of my sofa with shock I said YES!. So after a couple of months of sorting it out and keeping my little secret a secret ( that was very difficult!), I am finally published in this months edition in the Subs page woohoo!. I have since done 2 more and working on my 4th one as I'm writing my post today. I cannot tell you how excited I was getting my copy through the post today and I hope the peeps looking at my cards likes them too. The lovely Sarah, the editor of the mag sent me the project which was make 2 cards for post Xmas thank you's, which was a little tricky, but was pleased with the final cards.
So that's my secret and I just want to say a big, big thank you to Katina and if you haven't visited her blog please pop over cause her cards are just amazing :o)

So enough about me, to today's card is a cute image from Lili of the Valley and it's one of my new stamps. I have used some gorgeous papers from Prima "Jack'n'Jill" paper pad and my lovely flower punch from NS "Poinsettia".

These sweet girls are going into the following challenges :-

Crazy 4 Challenges # C4C66 ~ Fab Sketch
