Congratulations!  Please contact me with your details 

Well, today it’s challenge number four over at Quixotic Challenges blog.  Kim has set the theme and would like to see some Paper Tearing on your project.  Tearing paper is not the most natural thing in the world for me to do…hehehe, but it was good to give it a go…thanks for making me come out of my comfort zone  Kim!  I have to say, my inspiration for ‘tearing’ comes from two blogs that I absolutely love…Janneke and Inge…they make it look fabulous with their beautiful cards…thanks for the inspiration both!

Hope you can join in the ‘tearing’ fun…don’t forget…there is a monthly prize up for grabs and remember to check out the wonderful cards from the Quixotic Paperie design team.

Good Morning…oh it’s so nice to be back.  Thanks to everyone who sent me messages asking if I was OK and where I was…it was really kind of you to think of me.  I’ve just been busy with family life over the past few weeks and not had time to blog or make cards.  Thanks, too, to all my DT buddies and also to Sugar Nellie and Quixotic Paperie for their understanding about my absence from blogging world.  I really hope to get back into the swing of things next week.
