Just for you my friend ...

Hello!
I hope you are all well


I know it's been a while since I posted anything creative ... I think I've had a melt down where creating is concerned ... But it's Tuesday and that means
 a new challenge at City Crafter where sweet Linda is hosing for us ... She is asking that we make a card or project that includes the word Friend or Friendship ... 
This our  inspiration picture


We have a "Double" Dutch treat for you this week ... First of all we have Wendy (Apple & Apricot) from the Netherlands Guest Designing for us ... Wendy was our talented winner in week 141 ... please pop over and welcome her...

And we also have wonderful prize package ...


... From the lovely Stella who also lives in the Netherlands!

I made this card for my friend who celebrated her birthday in January ...


She loves the colour blue ... and she also loves to knit ... hence the little charm on the corner of my frame ...


The papers were all from my scraps and the frame I painted and glittered ... That gorgeous swirl was a gift from the lovely Char and the stamp is by Hero Arts ... I stamped it with Versamark onto a piece of black card from my scraps and embossed it in silver


Our team have some lovely samples for you this week ... so hop over to the blog and take a look ... And wouldn't you just love to win that lovely punch and those pretty hearts? All you have to do is follow the rules and link up by 11th February 2013 at 11: 59 (EST) ...

I'll be back with you tomorrow ...
Have a beautiful day

~ Ros ~

Lovely lovely lovely. Creative meltdown must be in the air. I've really struggled this week too. No sign of it though Ros- still beautiful!

Pure elegance! The little knitting charm makes this so personal - what a wonderful touch.

You sent me a card - I guess 1 1/2 year ago - with that fab "friend"stamp. I still love it. This time you used a soft and neutral scheme and this card has your trademark of elegance all over it. Gorgeous Ros... thinking of you..XXXXX
