Also Go Kreate "Frilly Square", essential ribbon (lots!!), card candy

and another ink pad lol!

Yep I bought some more stamps (Oops! ~ I know I shouldn't lol!)

These  Bildmalarna images were to cute to miss and  Lili of the Valley ~ how could I pass the stall and not buy!!

I also got essential card stock, blanks and sticky stuff ~ I won't bore you with those lol!

So that's it! I must say there wasn't a lot of bargains and I do feel prices are certainly gone up, you don't get to much for your pennies these days :o(

SWEET FAITH.....................................

Morning all!

Still miserable here in Southend and still no sign of any sun :o(  Never mind, at least we can all stay in and play with our crafty stash lol! I'm off to Farnborough at the end of the week to the Make It show and I cannot believe a year has passed since I last went! Where does the time go lol!

So onto today's card and I think I'm pleased with it, wasn't to sure on the colours this time and I must say I found colouring this image a wee bit tricky! It's one of the new digi stamps from Sugar Nellie's adorable range. I think it's because they have the shading in already and I'm not use to it lol! What do you think?? and the card looks so much nicer in "real life"!
