Hi, hope everyone is ok,
Although it's raining outside as I type, my card today is bright and cheery. I've got loads to do this week: housework, playschool jobs, card/projects and taking my son for a small operation on his foot! Today is the only free day so I'm taking a deep breath ready to launch myself into all that I need to do and will be ready to collapse in a heap by the weekend!
Anyway back to my card, certain challenges inspired me to make it and I must admit it took me out of my comfort zone a bit. I don't usually do lace, but I've just blitzed my kids out-grown clothes and Jasmine used to have frilly knickers to wear over her nappies.....instantly I'm surrounded by mounds of lace! I think I may have over dosed for the lace challenges just a tad - nearly everything I used was either made out of lace or called lacy, hope it's not too much for you!
