One of our fab Sponsors is Hobby House  and so I've used one of their gorgeous Elisabeth Bell Toppers, and some of their pretty Patterned Cards for my creation. I made this special card for my good friend Lynn... it was her Birthday a couple of weeks back and so it was lovely to have this theme as inspiration for her card. I also got to try out my new Joy Crafts 'Banners' Die! thank you Laurie.. I really love it! :-)


Image: Hobby House - 'Elisabeth Bell - Summertime'
Patterned Card: Hobby House - Love Me Spot and Spring Hearts and Spring Blossom
Die: Joy Crafts - 'Banners'
Flower: Prima
Buttons: Papermania


I'm really disappointed with the flower in these photos... it has come out really peachy... but in real life it is a lovely dusky pink that matches the pink in the rest of the card... Grrr!! and they say the camera never lies!!! 

I am giving this prize on my blog....

(sorry it's in two photos...  but it is all one prize)


Some lovely Hobby House Toppers and Papers

Don't worry about your camera, I think we all have the same feeling, you wouldn't want to know the amount of shots I sometimes have to take (and even then I'm still not pleased with the result, lol!)
