I'm still here just in case you're wondering! Can't you just tell that I'm back at work now; the snow has thawed and I'm back into the swing of working hard and finding hardly any time to get inky *sob*
I've still managed to have a little surf around Blogland only to find some news that really put a smile on my face. I've been selected for In The Spotlight by the one and only Miss Dawn McVey for the RSCC #21 with my Potato Optional card! I feel so honoured!
Anyways, I'll spare you with the long soppy speech about just how thrilled I am and get on with a card, I'm guessing that's what you're here for after all ;D
This card was for my mum's birthday which happened to be on Boxing Day so you can tell how long this pic has been waiting to be uploaded LOL! My mum's a sucker for pink and flowers too so it just seemed so appropriate to go with this idea ;DCard Recipe
(PTI Supplies Unless Stated!)
Stamps: Polka Dot Basics II/Around & About Sentiments
Ink: Sweet Blush/Dark Chocolate
Card: Hibiscus Burst/Sweet Blush/Dark Chocolate Bitty Dot Basics
Accessories: Flower/Dark Chocolate Vintage Button/Cream Button Twine
I know work is super busy but my aim will be to post twice a week (at least!) and I'm sooooo looking forward to the weekend to find some time to chillax and get creative!
Wishing you all fabulous Friday and a wonderful weekend!
Catch ya later!

This card for your mum is beautiful! I love the long shape--I found some envelopes on clearance after Christmas that are sized like this...you've inspired me to make a card to fit!

Aimes, I wasn't at all surprised that the spotlight is shining on your card. You are a very talented crafter. Love this card for your mom; I'm sure she loved it too. Have a good weekend.
Wow, huge 'well done!' on your success - you totally rocked with the 'potato optional' card!
And I love the orientation of the card for your mum, it''s a bit different. Very pretty card, (and hopefully, she'll give it back so that you can recycle that gorgeous flower!)

Mucho congratulations! What a neat honor. And a cute card for your mom, I'm sure she had a lovely birthday.
Aimes this card is absolutely gorgeous - bet your Mum loved it! I really love the way you talk to us on your blog - I feel like the tea is on and I need to just sit for a while! Have a *great* week - hopefully with some ink in it :0) Hugs!
Congratulations on getting the spotlight. When I looked on Dawn's site, I thought to myself that looks like Aime's card - before I saw your name! So pleased for you!
Thanks for the lovely comments on my blog. I went for quite a few PTI sets in the end (I found out how heavy my order would be so I could work out my luggage allowance around it! Hehe! Yes, I am a nutter!) I can't remember them all at the moment, but some are mixed messages, in bloom, homemade, simple alphabet, holiday button bits and now my brian has given up!
Hope you're ok.
