Afternoon from a miserable Scotland - although the sun is trying it bestest to come out and play.

I've been AWOL for a couple of weeks as I have been frantically finishing a scrapbook for my niece Rachel's     21st birthday. Her birthday was on 1st May, but her party wasn't until last night so had a bit of extra time to finish her album off and make her a card. Here is the card I made for her:


She is a fan of purple and the card is much more purple IRL and she is also a fan of those really high heels that give me vertigo just looking at them! The CS and bling along the bottom are from stash.


I coloured the image with my PMs and added GD to the bows, ribbon and the insides of the shoes. The flowers are from Wild Orchid and the key charm from Meiflower.


Of course I had to use my Foil It machine again for the sentiment and numbers, and added a couple more roses to finish it off.

Rachel loved her album, but will probably still be in her bed at the moment, but I'm sure she'll like her card too.

I'd like to enter this wee card in the following challenges:

Hello again

Nothing for days - then two posts in the one!

Over at Bugaboo Stamps they have just released some HP inspired digistamps. They are great images for any magical themed cards you want to make. I am taking part in their 4 part (yes 4 part) blog hop!

The last part was to make a magical inspired item with one of the new digistamps. The card I have created below is with an image of The Gentle One (from Freebie Friday at Bugaboo Stamps). I love this image of a gentle giant!

The little owl is coloured with my Promarkers and I have added some googly eyes to cheer him up a bit!
The quote is one of the gentle giant's 'state the obvious' quotes that we love him for!

Well that's my card - and I'd like to enter it in the below challenge:

Catch The Bug Challenge - magic/fantasy-themed

Thanks once again for looking and any comments that you are so kind to leave.
