LAVINIA - LET YOUR DREAMS TAKE FLIGHT

Hope everyone in the US had a wonderful Thanksgiving.  Thanks to our daughter for preparing a wonderful meal and so good to see everyone together.  I made pies all day on Wednesday to take.

Today, I woke with a terrible head cold,  sidelined me most of today.  Hoping to get rid of 

it quickly.

I made this card for the Lavinia World Challenge # 14.  It has been a while since I

joined in and I have a new stamp which I won in a recent giveaway from Lavinia, which inspired

me to get my stamps out.

White, purple and Hot pink Cardstock

I'm entering my card into the challenge at LavinisWorld Challenges

That's it for me tonight.  Going to take a hot shower

and a couple of cold tablets and try to nip this cold in

the bud!

Thanks for stopping by today.

Have a nice weekend..

Until later........

Bio.

I have been drawing since a child and studied graphics at College many years ago, I now work as a Medical photographer part time but my love was always drawing. I started cardmaking about 4yrs ago when I bought my daughter a cardmaking kit which we did together, but I’m afraid I got the bug! My daughter preferred scrapbooking. I then started looking online at other blogs and this then became my passion and I loved sharing my cards with like minded people.I love stamping and loved finding images, but sometimes I could not find what I wanted so I started to draw myself.

This then has become my second addiction and I have never looked back, I love thinking of new images, and its just fabulous to see others take them and make them into beautiful works of art. Long may it continue!

Many thanks to our generous sponsors for their continued support.
