The PP is from Crate papers Kaitlin range and the punch is a MArtha stewart one.

the pearls are Kaiser and the flowers are old Prima ones.

The Stamp is a HAnglar and stanglar one and I coloured her with pencils and OMS.

Kloes entry for MDUC

Kloe has yet again made a card for the new challenge over at MDUC. She will want her own blog soon to showcase them...lol.



The theme is buttons, flowers and bows.

All I helped her to do was show her where she should put highlights on her people and i printed off the saying for her which is a digital stamp from Kaisercraft.



I think she did another good job considering she is only 10...but then I am her mum and might be a tad biased lol.

New week at MDUC and one for Simon says too

Ok this week I've managed to combine three challenges....woot woot I'm getting braver and entering into others...lol. i know what a step hey...lol.



here is my card for MDUC which was to use Buttons, flowers and bows......check, check, check

Just got my new Magnolia flowers from Simon Says Stamp and had to use them!!

And I Want to apologise for the horrid photo. My camera battery is near on deaths door but cant find the charger anywheres...typical!!
