Good morning everyone and may I start by saying welcome to my new followers Lesley, Heather and Bronwyn and Nela. It really does mean a lot to me that you take the time to become followers of my site.
Have to admit I have had a mad couple of days. On Sunday I noticed a red light on my fridge/freezer.... not good !!!! It had died. Managed to find a new one on line but when I tried to order it it said rejected after I had inserted payment details. I tried another twice then my mobile started ringing. Lloyds TSB fraud line saying they had blocked payment as they thought it was suspicious ?????? By the time I cleared it with them Curry's had blocked the payment as I had tried 3 times........ it ended up with me having to go into the shop and pay. Thankfully it came today and is installed. I now have a bin full of food.... who needs so many packets of prawns? My neigbour did enjoy the pork chops, steak and sausages I sent over :) I have been shopping and the new one is full again :)
Today sees the start of a new challenge at The Paper Shelter where we have a 'Flower Extra
Vaganza'... definitely not a problem to me as I love adding flowers and have missed doing it on my last few cards. Anyway enough waffle onto todays card.
From all the gorgeous images that Veronica and Pedro produce I chose 'Japanese Cute Doll'. She is one I have wanted to use for a while.
She is cut using SB grand decorative ovals and backed on a grand oval. The corners I finally managed to get this week and are Cheery Lynn . I also used a new MS branch punch :)... I enjoyed shopping over Christmas and have quite a few new things to play with.
The Paper is from Papermania by Lucy Cromwell. Flowers from WOC. Shoes from Mei Craft bought about 2 years ago. Ribbon, lace, gems and pearls from my stash.
She is coloured with Promarkers, Flexmarkers and Prisma pencils. ( Ooooo did you know that Letrasett have released another 92 Flexmarkers today? I ordered 18 (I have all the others as promarkers) you get one free for every 5 you order :). I also added a little stickles to her dress and flowers.
The inside does match the front of the card.
Our prize this week as always is $30 in products if you use a Paper Shelter image or 3 images of your choice with any other image. I hope you will take the time to look at the beautiful cards the other DT members have made and wish you good luck if you do enter our challenge.
I am entering the following challenges:-
Crafting for all Seasons challenge #43 - Something New (corners and punch)

Hi Eileen it is me again. I have just read your wonderful comment that you left me, I must admit that I have been rather worried about her eating anything that may be poisonous, fortunately I did pull up a lot of bulbs last year it is the new stuff that is coming through although they are mostly Daffs and Bluebells, I try to check that there is nothing hanging about but she seems to get into places that I would never dream that she could, lol. She did fall in the pond so I have put up some trellis work to stop her getting too close, I never use slug pellets as I have frogs in the pond so i hope that I will be lucky and not have a sick puppy.

Yea for your new fridge! Don't you just hate when the credit card fraud hits your card right at the exact wrong moment...I've had that happen so many times and sometimes not at the most convenient moments.
Anyhoo your card is just lovely and colored so exquisitely. Love the gold accents and those corner pieces are awesome.

Very pretty card, love the image and the colours, thanks for joining us over at the CBN Challenge this month
