Welcome to my little bit of blogland, its been a while since I last blogged as I have been in the hospital having long awaited operations to improve my overall health issues and the early signs are that they have been successful. So since I have been out of the hospital I have been crafting a little and although im not back to full speed yet ive thoroughly enjoyed myself ,in fact I have loved it!
So I have to share with you today a little something I have created using the friends word art printables by Jannette Padley owner/designer of Stamping with the Dragon/ Dragons Lair Designs. Here it is and I hope that you like it!
Its actually a wall hanging but the sections look better photographed individually as oppose to one pic of the whole thing.



 
Goodies Used
Bases: soft pink paper doilies
Toppers: ATC blanks topped with the four different elements of the  friends word art, which I coloured with a selection of promarkers and attached to the paper doilies
Embellishments: Card Candi, ribbon and flowers from my stash
