ANGELIC ANGELS ...................

Evening all!

Hope everyone is having a fab weekend so far and the weather has been glorious here in the Southeast today! Got lots of washing done and my little sister came down with her new puppy Daisy, who is a miniature Dachshund, and was the cutest little thing on four legs ahhhhhhhhhh. The cat couldn't work out what it was lol and my Scottie looked enormous next to her ( well she is slightly over weight hehehe )

Anyway that's enough rambling, to tonight's card, she is a real cutie and I just love her. It's a gorgeous stamp from Lili of the Valley and I would also love to say a big thank you to the girls who's chose my card last week as one of their top three!! So thank youuuuuuuuu and I'm truly honoured :o)

This cutie is going into the following challenges :-
