Hi! What a brilliant day my friend and I had yesterday. I bought enough card stock in Southfields to keep me going for a while and also some Christmas stuff which was in the sale! After that we went to Dobbies and had lunch. When we came out of there it was blowing a blizzard but decided to go to the Gyle shopping centre where it doesn't snow! We had a good rummage round there and it was nice to see the new season's clothes coming into the shops. The colours are so vibrant and makes you think Spring might be just around the corner. We then had a coffee and headed home. My friend is coming up to my house tomorrow afternoon and we're have a crafty time.
The card I've made today didn't end up the way it started in my mind - do you know the feeling! Unfortunately the base paper doesn't show up very well on the screen. It's pale cream with lovely roses on it.

Hi Anne. How cool reading about your day. That is hilarious (at least I thought so when you said it didn't snow in the mall!) It sounds like a really fun "friend" day though. Good for you. And lots of scrapping/card paper - isn't that a wonderful feeling but a $ feeling! lol. Your card, regardless of the :( feeling about the photography is SO beautiful. I can just get the feeling from it and it is SO romantic! It strikes me as just so loving and warm and I really enjoy that you didn't over embellish it because Anne, the card speaks SO loudly with the image, which I'm sure you knew. Anne, great success in the challenges, and of course ours at Delightful. Luv Samara, DT - DD.

Hi Anne,
