Shopping our Stash

Hello...

I noticed that this weeks challenge at 


Is to use something shiny ... Of course it has to be something that is already in your stash
Fortunately I have just made a card for my son to give to my husband which uses some glitter card that has been in my stash for at least 3 years


Those glittery balloons have also been hiding ... waiting for the right moment to make their appearance


The broadband here is working so slow it's taking me ages to do anything on my computer ... with that and the amber warning for high winds and even more rain ... I think the best thing to do is to hibernate till normal service resumes

I hope you're having a good day wherever you are

Take care

~ Ros ~

Sweetie congrats on your husband. The glittered ballons are perfect for a birthday card. He will love it (and he should cause your cards are gorgeous!!!!)
Hope you are safe; I watched the news about the Uk and the storm that is going on at this very moment.
Take care...

A perfect "male" creation! Male and glitter, who would have thought the two would go together ;-) I can't remember the last time I heard good news from the UK weather-wise - I saw images of the floodings yesterday and it is just breathtaking. I keep my fingers crossd it will soon stop...
