Bling and Sparkle....


Hello, well this week brings some promising news and the doctor has started talking about the possibility of Anthony coming home - that surely can mean one thing - that he is happy with the progress he is seeing. So without getting my hopes up, I know only too well, that talking about it is very different to it actually happening. So it will happen on the day it happens, but I can make the plans for it to go smoothly.
 It was welcome news to our 2 boys too, to have Dad at home (even on greatly reduced play duty) for longer than one day every 2 weeks (as has been the ase for 12 months) is a very exciting prospect.


So to this weeks challenge at Stamp-n-Doodle, make a card full of bling and sparkle.
Well i don''t mind saying this was indeed a challenge to me, I am not known for being blingy and sparkly. Had my sister been given this challenge, there would be glitter everywhere and sparkly bits galore :-)

Not sure if its clear, ut there is a layer of glittered floral paper added the sparkle to this design.
