This weeks challenge was you had to use glitter on your card  I used it on her Dress and also mounted her on to a glitter paper which I embossed.

This was third time lucky today  I kept sticking card upside down then I smudged the glitter before it was dry.I was about to give up this was my last attempt.................

Not my best colouring I used the blender pen wrong!

We have to learn from our mistakes.

My daughter thought a little child had coloured it in lol.

Cricut Winnie the Pooh and Friends.

This is from my New Cart Winnie the Pooh and Friends.

Its my Nephews birthday next week and thought Tigger was really cute( even though my sister hates pooh lol).

The font and top note cut were from Storybook cart which I borrowed.

I didnt have any nice backing papers for this so I though I would have a go at the quilted effect which I am loving at the moment.

I have had a busy week I went to 2 SU demos in 3 days I love their products and I want everything !!! Then I had shopping for my daughters 18th Birthday tomorrow to fit in.
