Little Girls - Swing Time

Hope you all have had a good weekend, sorry I haven't been around much, I'm having a new bathroom put in and its surprising how disruptive it has been. It poured with rain most of yesterday and I wanted to craft and most of the things that were in the bathroom have been put in front of the things I wanted to craft with. Still I managed it in the end. The bathrooms almost finished so things can get back to normal. I have used my new embossing folder (I love this, think I shall be using it lots) and a lotv stamp, its one of the first that I bought and I haven't used it for ages. It reminds my of when my sisters and I were little, trying to take the dog on the swing, trouble was the seat wasn't that wide!!!

Daisy

Good evening, hope you are all well. My post is a bit late this evening as my grandson is staying with me and he has monopolised the computer all day, this however, has given me time to craft. I have used a sugar nellie stamp 'Daisy' for my card today, I think this is such a beautiful image, I hope I have done her justice.
