Best Friend

I've been so busy with work since last week due to staffing problems,there's been no time for crafting or blogging, so I'm making good use of some free time this evening and visiting my favourite sites.I finished this card two week ago almost but haven't got round to posting it; initially it wasn't for anyone or naything in particular but is now a birthday card for one of my hubby's colleagues, a quick change of sentiment to happy birthday and off it went.The stamp is Thomas from LOTV ...isn't he such a cutie, I just love their stamps and would happily have them all.I started off with back ground paper which I love, not sure why as it's quite dark and not my usual colour choice and I wasn't sure what to use with it initially... but pleased with the overall result and think the red and green accents work well together. The pretty lacy white border is actually cut from an oval die with lacy corners from the Radiant Rectangles Set I cut the lacy corners from the oval and used to create a border edge,I think its very effective and can see me using this frequently

I plan to do some blog hopping tonight and visit some of my favourite sites for a catch up. Hopefully work will settle down again soon and I will get back into my routine and get some time for crafting.I hope you have a great week whatever you get up to and thanks for visiting...hugs ....Andrea X
