The Secrets Out!!!

HOOOOORAY!!!!

I can hardly keep it in any longer..... which is okay because today is the day I can tell you that...... I have become a Girl Friday over at CASual Fridays...Yipeeeee!!! *grinning like a Cheshire cat*


I'm so excited and want to thank Michele for giving me the opportunity and for bringing together such an amazing Design Team, I can't wait to work with all of the Girl Fridays and if you pop over to the CASual Fridays blog you will see the full line up including the new Facebook design team as well as this weeks new challenge :0)

Now I've told you my exciting news and I've calmed down just a bit *still grinning and whooping*... I can move on to show you my card for the current Runway Inspired challenge which closes tonight....



I found quite a few inspiration pointers in this photo but the crispness and bright floral pattern in the dress really caught my eye and so did my new 6x6 paper pad and natural twine from Lawn Fawn!!! 
I made a simple banner of mixed colours and patterns using the new Fishtail Flags Stax from Dienamics

The flower has been punched a few times from thin cardstock and layered to look like chipboard with a final paper layer and the twine tendrils have been made following a super tutorial from Chari here... love how you can change the colour of the twine to match your project :0)


The new Lawn Fawn papers are just so colourful and totally in line with the fun style of the stamps and the best news is that they are winging there merry way at this very moment to  Make the Day Special  here in the UK :0)
Emily is expecting the 6x6 pads, 12 " papers and twine in stock within the next few weeks so make sure you  keep checking back or better still 'Like' them on Facebook for news and stock updates.

Well, now I need to lay down in a darkened room but instead I have to get things organised for a huge family party we are going to tomorrow and then a trip to a stamp and craft show on Sunday where I'm hopefully meeting some blog pals :0)
Please pop back in the morning for a card I made to share on the blog at Make the Day Special .

Thanks so much for your comments, your continued support means a lot to me :0)
