Lacy Sunshine....News

Good morning everyone! Do you ever get up in the morning wondering whether or not you have actually been to bed:( Well I am having one of those mornings.....I have had a very fun filled weekend and was working on the card I have to share with you today until 12 o'clock last night. I then got woke up by a knock at the door (mr postie bringing me some crafty goodies, so not complaining) ....and thought who on earth is knocking this time of night LOL! Then remembered that I had a conversation with hubby at 5.30 this morning and my son at 7am so what happened to my sleep I don't know!!!! and I also feel like I have a massive hangover:( So anyways not a good start!!!! for a Monday morning...but have taken some tablets and had a strong coffee and now feeling good to go!!!...which is good as I am busy! busy!

Well! now that I have that off my chest I will tell you all my exciting NEWS...I am now a SUNSHINE GIRL!!!!!...

I was asked a few weeks ago by the very talented artist/designer of Lacy Sunshine Stamps  Heather Valentin if would like to join the design team and this was one that I was not going to turn down:) I have been using her images for a good few months now and I adore them!!!! So you will be seeing lot's more of these gorgeous images popping up on my blog:)
For my first DT card the image is Sticky Wings.... Bubbles Ice Skating. I have coloured her with copics and although she is not necessarily a Christmas digi.....well you don't have to skate just at Christmas! I decided I would make my first Christmas Card of 2013 with her! I haven't gone with the traditional colours with this one I thought I would go with pale pinks, blues and green.

So here she is my debut card on the Lacy Sunshine Design Team:  The challenge over on The Lacy Sunshine blog is as always 'Anything Goes'....So get creating and hop on over to the challenge blog and join in the fun:) and also check out the gorgeous cards that the other Sunshine Girls have created!!!



What do you think?..... I have to say I was really nervous on this one, but thought hey just go with what you know best! Bling, pearls and of course lot's of glitter and of course the frantage has made another appearance! I just love Christmas!
