Sweet home Alabama



This card is for my Auntie who will be moving in the next few weeks, not quite as far as Alabama but to Renfrewshire in Scotland. Before becoming a Stampin' Up! demonstrator I had never bought any of their Stampin' around wheels, but when I joined I picked this one, the neighborhood jumbo wheel. It is such great fun and a really quick way to make a super card (well I think so hee hee).

A happy coincidence too that the fabby Lesley who is also in Scotland has very kindly honoured me with a blogging award. Thank you so much Lesley - please pop by as she has the cutest projects :D

Dare I say it more sunshine today, hope my efforts from yesterday to send it your way worked. Big candy draw tonight at 8.00pm - sooooo exciting, I will reveal the lucky winner tomorrow morning :D GOOD LUCK EVERYONE.

Have a great day & see you tomorrow x

Emma, What a super sweet card, I love it. It's helped make my mind up to buy one of those roller stamps things [propbably not the correct word] Hopefully the sunshine will continue as it's my little ones 3rd birthday tomorrow and it would be great to get out and about with him so what ever you did yesterday to make the sunshine please can you do it again tomorrow :)
How are you enjoying you hoildays with your little one?
Take Care - Ju xxx
