Birthday Card for Mum's Friend

My mum asked me to make a card for one of her friends whose birthday is on the same day as mine. I created this card using my new Digi Download from Sketching Stamper (link in sidebar) I have once again used pro markers my MS doily punch and added some flowers, charm and sentiment. I finally got me a branch punch and you wouldn't believe how happy I was when the postman delivered it this morning. I hope you like it hugs to all.

I am proud to announce

That I have been chosen as one of the new Design Team members of The Lime Light some of you may have already noticed the banner in my side bar. I cannot tell you how I feel at this moment apart from being both honoured and proud but there is much more that I cannot quite put into words at this time.

The normal feelings are first and foremost am I good enough, Gracie from Imagine That believes that I am but I am quite frightened although excited asit a new venture for me. I have had a secret yearning for a while to be a DT member but when I have seen the beautiful work that is being created I knew it to be just a dream. Well that dream has come true and the one most important thing is that I get to help others to help bring some happiness into their lives.
