Wednesday Blues

Hello

Well I had the most wonderful time with Stella ... We took them to as many places as we could during their stay ... Here we are at Bunbury where we lunched in one of our favourite country pubs


Yesterday we said a sad farewell ... Her son was quite upset as he still has another 2 months work here but he feels like my son too now and will spend more time with us 
So it's the Wednesday blues today....

I have a card to share that I made last week using that little Ellie stamp


If it hadn't been for the sequins I could probably entered this at Colour Q this week ... Never mind


I made this with Sophia in mind ... her birthday isn't for a few months but better to get ahead huh?


On a positive note I discovered that my card from a previous post here was a winner at 
The Card Concept this week ... Yahoo!
That kind of cheered me up!

I hope your week is going well ... Thanks so much for stopping by

Such a beautiful card, I love the yellow and black! the sequins in pink are so sweet. I know what you mean about adding them and another color, I wanted to do that as well! Sophia will love the card. I am so glad you got to entertain Stella, also that you will miss her! Have a wonderful Thursday and cheer up, there will always be special people in your life!
