It's all a little yellow.

I owe thanks to four blogs for the challenges and inspiration for this card. I'm still trying to reactivate my mojo and it helps to have a challenge or two to get the little grey cells working. Plus the - try something new thing is good for me too.

This card has something old too. It's been such a long time since I used glitter. In fact it's been so long that the glue didn't dry flat as it is supposed too. Hmmmm, that might be a subtle hint that like mascara, you shouldn't have your glue hanging around as long as I have done. Thanks Charisma cards for the challenge of glitter and sparkle. I love my glitter but have been saying 'too much hassle' for so long . (http://charismacardz.blogspot.com/)

The sketch I used came from The Sweet Stop (http://sweetstopsketches.blogspot.com) . It's a lovely sketch and I love how the card came out because of it. In retrospect I ought to have put the ribbon behind the top card so it didn't hide the mice feet but I still like the card and if you don't learn something, what's the point? (sss101)

2 blogs inspired the choice of image, Daring Cardmakers and Cute Card Thursday. (http://daringcardmakers.blogspot.com/) and (http://www.cutecardthursday.blogspot.com/). Daring Cardmakers challenge was to use daisies and or sweet peas, CCT's was to have a couple. I would love to have done a card with sweet peas- shall have to keep my eyes open for one of those. I love this Penny Black stamp but don't often use it. It usually ends up looking naff (not Penny Black's fault- mine.) However the enticement of couples and daisies made it irresistable and for once , it came out well.

Thank you to all of you for your challenges, I'm learning so much through your design teams cards and the challenges you put out.

next challenge- work out to how to link in posts.....I'm not the most net savvy person around.
