Wonderful Wings


             Good Morning everyone!  I really don't know where this week is going, Thursday already and it doesn't seem like 5 minutes since we started the week - does anyone else feel like this?!  I would like to say a big hello to all the lovely ladies (and gentleman!) that I met at Inspirations in Preston on Sunday.  What a lovely day demonstrating all the fabulous Spellbinders and, of course, the Grand Calibur.  It is great to see so many of you that are enjoying using the Calibur.
             The card that I want to share with you today is one that I have sent in to the Allsorts Challenge last week.  I am over the moon to be asked to be the guest designer for the month.  It is a fabulous Challenge site and it is certainly one you need to look at if you love your challenges. You will also find lots of beautiful samples and loads of inspiration.  I used Donna Salazar's Wonderful Wings as the main focal point of the card and the Grand Peony set for the gorgeous flowers.  These sets are some of my favourites( at the moment!) the detail on the butterfly dies are exceptional.  If you like your butterflies this is certainly one to look out for. As you will see I have also used the classic scallop edgeabilities and as you already know I am loving these too.  I hope that you like the card today - I am on my way to the shop now to open up - we have a fabulous House Mouse Christmas workshop today and tomorrow so I am sure lots of fun and laughter will be had all round! (Oh and don't forget the tea and cake!)   Bye for now and thank you for dropping in!  Jo x
