My Favourite 5 Of 2011

Hello Peeps
I thought I'd join in with Debby's Five Favourites Of 2011 cos I missed the Christmas one! :D  And yes it's much more difficult than you think! Anyhoo, here goes.........

I just adore this Penny Black image and I love the lush paper from Doodlebug. The ribbon is gorgeous and I was pleased with the layout too.

 

 Another Penny Black I adore! :D  I love the Prima papers 'n'soft  colours and was really happy with the layout again!

 I love the softness of this card with the gorgeus LOTV fairy. I also love all the embossing and the lovely charm.

 

 I fell in love with this little elephant from Stamposaurus, so had to have them all! ;)  I love the colours on this card and the gorgeous flowers and lace too!

 Oh now I was really pleased with this card and I still have it, I can't bear to part with it! :D The super sweet couple are from LOTV and the church stamp is from Magnolia and I love how all the flowers all turned out.

Thank you for looking today and I hope everyone has a fantastic New Years Eve!

Retirement Plan

Hello Peeps
Well, I just don't know how I've survived these past few days! I accidently knocked my laptop on the floor and the screen went black! Aaaargh! Anyhoo, lucky, lucky me got it fixed today and didn't have to fork out for a new screen!! Phew! So hopefully I will try and catch up with you all! :)
So, onto my card, I was asked to make a retirement card with a caravaning theme. As soon as I was asked I remembered about this image, which I had as a decoupage image many moons ago and then I found it as a stamp! Hooray! I love the Jolly Nation characters :)
I'm entering this into the challenge over at Cute Card Thursday which is 'Anything goes'.

 

 I've coloured with me trusty Promarkers and Flexmarkers.
