Holly Fairy in Pink...

A card for the girl who says 'Everything looks better in Pink' - yep this is for Laura. I had done her a pink snowflake creation, but she saw a card from a friend (yes you Chrissie - it's your fault) with this image and said how much she loved it so what could I do? Yep I know too soft for my own good!!

The card is 8"x 8" as I wanted the larger size, but also the images by Mo Manning are so gorgeous it's a shame to print them in a small space. This fairy is one of my favourites, but to be truthful Mo's drawings are just all gorgeous.

The white layer is embossed with holly leaves to match the fairy who is touched with glitter (I mean magic dust ) everywhere.

My card is also for the challenges at:
My tip for the day is...

When transferring packs of cans of coke on to the belt at the supermarket checkout do not bump them. If you do and any of the cans have the slightest weak spot in the metal it will result in a explosion of coke and a 3 foot high fountain will appear and drench everyone within 6 feet.

The wettest person is likely to be either you or the poor defenceless girl on the till.

Believe me in this as I speak from experience!!! Yesterday was not the best shopping day I have ever had!

Oh Ann - what a tonic you are! You've started my day just right (when I was needing it too) not only are you sharing the most gorgeous card - Laura will be thrilled - but I'm afraid I had to laugh out loud at your shopping story!! I do hope it wasn't near the start of the poor girl's shift!

Your Holly Fairy is simply stunning Ann and I'm sure Laura will LOVE it!
It's no good blaming me, you know I'm a Mo-aholic and can't stay away. I've just bought a load more, heaven help me, now all I need is the Mojo to return so I can use them!

Oh Ann what a beautiful card. The little girl's skirt with all the ruffles are so gorgeous and of course perfectly painted. I'm sure Laura will be thrilled with it. Wish I was younger and had young people to send cards to as this would be one stamp I'd definitely buy.

Had my Penny Black clear stamps this morning and they are a good size. Just right for using on nesties.

Oh sweet, Ann, I'm sorry you had such an experience at the grocery. You always make me smile, though. My kids are smitten with your "poop". I think we'll be making some.

Thank you so much to great friends who have become followers of my blog. Love having you around.
