First card published

Hi everyone,

I hope you all had a lovely weekend and are off to a good start to the week.

 As you know I Guest Design for the Papernest Dolls from time to time and I'm doing a little happy dance here as I have had my first card published in a magazine.







This is the published card.

Not only did I receive this news today, but Phil and I are celebrating our 30th Wedding Anniversary and OMG has he spoilt me. He bought me the Kit and Clowder Distress Ink tutorial, paper, inks, and brushes, which is what I asked for, for Christmas, on top of that he sent me a huge bouquet of flowers. 

Now as you know I hate making male cards, so I made him a pop up box, which you may think is rather girly, however there is some meaning to it. Apologies for the photo, but it was taken very quickly in the kitchen.


Ahh bless we look so young. 

I've made a little bouquet and added feathers and roses as this is what I had in my bouquet and the pearls represent 30 years. Hope you like it.

Well that's it from me today.

Take care and thank you for popping in.

Hugs
Gina
