All that Glitters and some Wild Rose

Happy Monday everyone did you all have a good week-end? I know we did after a manic day at work we picked the eldest two Grand children up for an overnight stay, then we went to the Magic Kingdom in Cleethorpes. The day was a bit chilly for the kids to play out and the weather wasn't that good for the Bar-b-q we had planned for Gran dad's Birthday tea so improvised to oven instead, then the youngest Grandchild came to sleep Sunday as I look after him on a Monday so here I am today doing my blog while the little fella plays cars.
Have you all seen the new Challenge over at OSCC it's one everyone likes no not Anything Goes but adding Glitter and we also have a New Sponsor too.

 Now for my card and for once I went with the plan I saw in my minds eye I hope you like it.

 I have printed 2 sheets of the papers off ( Using Floral Breeze Sample from
May 2012 ) cut out the bottom left flowers and postcard out and also top right flowers the layered them up. I put a little slit on the bottom sheet next to the flowers at the top and bottom then threaded some lace through it and wrapped it around the edge, I added 2 teardrop gems, 4 roses and a sentiment.

This is where I have been inspired:

Store and Pattie Gomez Bio

I am an Internet Technology Professional and an Artist. I always dreamed of being an artist, but I found out quickly that I needed another field to support my family so I pursued a Degree in Information Technology. I love to use Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator and Fireworks to enhance my work.

I created a character called Pattieboop and her cat named Allie. I have had so much fun coming up with different images so I also created a site to sell them. You can go to my store to find out more about Pattieboop & Allie. I know you will just love them when you see them.

 My store: http://www.etsy.com/shop/pattiescreations

Here is the bio of Pattieboop & Allie if you want to use it. I have it posted at my store.

Pattieboop is an 11 year old girl who is very opinionated. She was created by me, Pattie Gomez on September 7, 2009. Pattieboop is an average 11 year old and she loves dressing up. She is very petite in nature but stands tall because her mother always told her that “If you stand tall you will one day become someone important”. Pattieboop always remembers her mother’s words and makes sure she is noticed. Pattieboop has a favorite pet named Allie. Allie is a slender black cat and loves playing and spending time with Pattieboop. Allie spends most of her days napping and her nights are spent getting in to mischief…

Now for my Card I hope you like it:

Sponsor Image " Thinking of you "

Hi my crafty friends i am Tracy Wray owner and designer of craftycat designs, i have been crafting for many years, but my love of art and crafts comes from my mother, she used to make all my clothes and stuffed toys, i was knitting and crocheting at 5 something my mother, grandmother and i used do together. I love all forms of crafting and i often have many things on the go as i cant just stick to one thing. I have 7 mad cats who also like to craft with me, well that's what they think they are doing, most of the time its them chasing my paper flowers all over the place! I love that anyone can craft no matter their age or ability it brings everyone together with such wonderful hobby, i hope i can inspire a few people along the way and share my passion for crafting with everyone. hugs Tracy x

The DT have done some really Inspirational work please pop over and join in the fun with us, so here is my card which I made I also made the backing paper from the Pre-coloured image I used not for laziness but because I was originally going to make a border.

For this card I used :
