SPRING HAS SPRUNG ~ NOT TODAY!!.......................

Morning all!

Wow what a very wet Saturday (again!!) and I think it's here for the day :o( So that means one thing ~ stay in and do loads of crafting lol!!
So today's card I have dug out one of my older Lili of the Valley stamps, he is soooo adorable ahhh..... and I have teamed him up with some gorgeous papers from Prima "Jack n Jill" and one of new border punches from Martha Stewart.

This cute chappie is going into the following challenges :-
Lili of the Valley # 84 ~ My favourite colours ~ I have sooo many but I do love turquoise, blues and neutrals!
Charisma Cardz # 7 ~ Spring has Sprung (Well not today lol!!)


Bear with Butterfly ~ Lili of the Valley
