I hope you are all enjoying your weekend. It's Sunday evening here, and it's been such a glorious day today I found myself throwing the idea of doing any housework to the wind and just spending time outside. I took my dog Loki for a run beside my bicycle, and then went back out for a second ride later in the day with my husband AJ. Riding with Loki is far easier, AJ rides so fast it's a bit like torture than pleasure as I try and keep up. I am sure I will lament this 'no housework' business when I have no clean clothes this week though!
I was asked to make a card for a colleague at work whose sister is turning 21. The brief was girly, lacy, fun and to use her name. I purchased my very first Saturated Canary image for the occasion and this is what I came up with:
The image is called "bubbles, coloured with copics and the sentiment was computer generated. I hand-stitched pink wool through the lace to affix a silver key charm. All three background papers are from the Kaisercraft "Bonjour" collection.
I am entering this card into the following challenges:
Cute Card Thursday - A stitch in time
Crafting for all Seasons - Stitching
Craft Room Challenge - Pin or Charm (my key charm)
Dream Valley Challenges- Something Old (lace), Something New (digi stamp)
PanPastel UK Challenge - All About Stripes
Thanks for popping by and have a wonderful week.

This is absolutely lovely, Tracey! The lacy trim with the bit of pink and the wonderful key mixed with the pearls make for the perfect 'girly' card and you image is gorgeous!
Hmm...bike ride w/ Loki or laundry...I think you made the right choice! You could always shop for some new clean clothes, right?
This is beautiful, I love the addition of lace, and the little key charm. Those papers are soooo gorgeous! Thanks for joining in with our Charms & Pins theme over at the Craft-Room Challenge.
