Papercraft Star Challenge

Hello ...
My Aunt and I are going into Lincoln City today ... there's a little bus that comes to pick us up and we are also brought back home a couple of hours later... I'm quite looking forward to it!
Because we leave early(ish) I've scheduled my DT post for Papercraft Star where the challenge this week is simply "Hello"

I made my card a few weeks ago and I really couldn't think of anything to do at the time ... I loved the pink colour in the photo Jan picked for us 


Which is really what got me started and eventually it all came together


The lovely scalloped card was sent to my by Jan and I cut some banners from my scraps and stamped across them with my postal stamp from Kaisercraft ...


The sentiments stamps are from WaltzingMouse and I punched some butterflies out of scraps and then added liquid pearls


I'm itching to get into my craft room right now ... even though I am having a lovely stay with my Aunt ... I am so relaxed 

I hope you are all well and having a good week too ... maybe you'll find time to join us this week at Papercraft Star ... the rest of the DT have some lovely creations up on the blog to inspire you ... hop over and take a look.

Thanks so much for stopping by today and for all your lovely comments ... I really appreciate you taking the time ...

Keep safe

~ Ros ~
