Happy Ellie

Hello...

The sun has decided to put in an appearance today and for once it's not raining, but it's cold!
My heart goes out to everyone who has been flooded out here in the UK over the past few months ... So much rain it's crazy!

I have another birthday card to share using up some BG paper I created with distress inks ... sometimes I just like to sit and play with colour and put the pieces I've done to one side, for using at a later date.


The music die is new ... from Memory Box and I love it because I can use it for any celebration


Using a lot of bright colours is not in my comfort zone, I more of a 'muted look' person, and yet I just love seeing colourful cards on other peoples blogs


Little Ellie is coloured with Promarkers and I caved in and ordered some Copics ... Eeek! They haven't arrived as yet and they were actually a gift as I got money given to me at Christmas - DH never knows what to buy me... Copics are expensive right? I really hope I am going to be able to use them.

I hope you are having a lovely day ... Take care and thanks so much for popping in
Oh, and Thanks so much to Try It On Tuesday for giving me another Top 5 award!

Awesome card with the adorable elephant, lovely background, and wonderful music die! I love my copics and I hope you will, too! Copics can be expensive, but I they are on sale at times and my favorite site to buy them is at carpediem.
