Purple card has been grunged with white ink and white card has been grunged with purple . Card is finished with some plaited jewellers line, roses, pearls and a sentiment from my stash.

Only one to show you today - felt the need to do some housework today - I'm sure I'll feel better tomorrow though lol.

Using this gorgeous Teddy Bea image and some equally gorgeous backing papers from Bearly Mine, I used a PATP to make the matt and tag. The papers have all been resized to fit the project exactly. Card is finished with some matching flowers (also from Bearly Mine), ribbon, buttons and pearls.

Teddy Bo

I bought a couple of these digis yesterday so decided to enter the Teddy Bo challenge which is Punch It.

The backing papers are Anna Griffin (leftover bits from yesterdays card) and make for a very loud bathroom decor lol. Teddy Bea has been coloured with watercolour pencils. Card is finished with a bow and some gems. The sentiment is an Inkadinkado stamp.

I'm also entering this in the Cup Cake - Comedy Rocks challenge.

On a more serious note I was blog hopping earlier today on my laptop and picked up a Trojan virus when I clicked on the Spellbinders blog which appears to have wiped out my hard drive! Luckily I had downloaded all my photos onto an external hard drive last week and backed my files up......so watch what you are doing!
