Spring has sprung

The challenge on Cute Card Thursday is for signs of Spring and this little cutie was coloured and ready to be used. The papers I think is SEI, I know I brought them ages ago and its taken to now to cut them. I used the sketch on Everybody Art by Tina its a brilliant sketch. The butterfly gems I've had for ages and I'm not convinced they're work but they are firmly stuck and would make a mess if I tried to remove them.
So the Make it show, a bit of a disappointment maybe because most of the stash you can buy is ready available online. Saying that though I manage to buy some PB in the bargain bucket and I succumbed to some copics too, yes the poor stallholder watched as I kept pulling off the caps to see whether they were as difficult as the promarkers and no I wasn't sniffing the alcohol ink but it was a good job Hubby didn't realise they had alcohol in cos he would of said that was the case. It has to be said that we left the Make it Show quite early so had plenty of time to pop into the Art of Craft, DD wanted some shrink plastic and Jane only had A5 sheets on the stall and DD also have never been to the Crafty Cow (who by the way has 15% off this weekend including copics) I wonder if I can convince Sis she needs to pop by on Sunday.
I've also been napped by customs for some stamps, have to be honest don't mind the customs but the handling fee by the Post Office is way over the top £8 to write me a postcard to say I need to pay customs.
I'm still sulking about my WOJ spring club kit, it almost seems everyone has theirs but me.
Today I'm off to MJ crop, her shop will be there and I think this weekend its free postage if you order online but I will be able stroke and touch, then buy. Of course this is providing that my Sis arrived home late last night.

o.k enough of the stroking and touching - it's so not fair, you have so many 'real' craft shops near you (sulking now). As for the £8 - crazy isn't it and what makes it worse . . they take their sweet time over it!

Love your card, I really love that teal colour and those papers are yummy. Off to that link you left now - spotted some yummy papers I want, all your fault!
Have a lovely weekend Fran xx

I agree, brilliant sketch. Love your papers, really pretty.

I'm quite glad I didn't go up to the make-it show now as all the reports I've read are from people saying that they were a bit disappointed. Would have loved the Copic stall though.... have fun with yours! ~x~
