Guardian Angel

Hi Everyone,

Where did the week go?

I have had a lot of appointments for my youngest Son and life has been hectic.

But hopefully it is all over now and we have everything sorted.

I am so grateful that I was able to go away last weekend on a craft retreat.

I had the most amazing time and met some wonderful people.

I did manage to get 10 cards done and one decorative envelope completed.

I hope to share these with you soon.

For today's inspiration I have used a stamp from Funky Kits (link below).

Ingredients:

Stamp:  Guardian Angel

Medium:  Copic Markers

Cardstock & Paper:  Doodlebug

Sequins:  Pretty Pink Post
