A Cinderella Spring Clean

Morning my crafty friends. Doesn't Monday come around quickly?!

A quick share today...


...and quite elaborate for me!!

Now, I don't know about you but, to me, Spring means being able to open all the windows, let the fresh air in and have a jolly good Spring Clean (not at the moment though...it's pouring)!! 

 The aptly named "Tidy Up" was coloured with Pro/Flexmarkers to match the pretty pastel papers that were a recent magazine freebie. I coloured my seam binding to match and added  mesh ribbon for some texture. I rarely use flowers but these are relatively flat and still fall within the small letter thickness. Finally a tag and some butterflies as finishing touches.

We are off to play here

Sarah such a beautiful card love the design, layout and image. I have just turned my heating back on as it is very cold and windy here today. P.S as you know I have changed the name of my blog and the only way to continue to follow me is to un-follow and then follow again sorry about being such a pain, but I do hope you will stay with me. Love Alison xx
