Full of Eastern promise


I was lucky enough to win a challenge last week and my choice of 3 digi images from Stitchy so I chose Miss Weeble as I don't have any oriental images. Her parasol was such fun to colour. Papers are K&Co and Laura Ashley. I added some butterfly ribbon and a sentiment from Craftwork Cards. The swirling leaves are a Sizzix die and the flowers are from Wild Orchid.

The sun has been shining here today but it is still very cold outside. A quick post as I need to get ready soon. We're going to Pizza Express and then to the theatre to see Les Miserables to start off hubby's birthday celebrations. Tomorrow we're out to lunch with friends and then we both have the day off work on Monday, which is his birthday. We're meeting some more friends for another lunch that day so no cooking for 3 days, hooray. Not too much time for cardmaking or blogging for a couple of days.
