Good morning bloggers and Happy Monday! I am now back in blogland after having a fabulous week with my adorable grandson Harrison and lovely DIL Melissa! I'd like to wish Stephen my DS and Melissa a big Happy First Anniversary for today! I must admit I am totally whacked - now I know why we have menopause - to stop us having babies in our later years because Oh My Gosh they are exhausting!! He just does not walk anywhere always running and getting into mischief!!
Getting back to the business at hand, today we see a new challenge at Lexi's Creations and the challenge this time is Sparkle and Shine!! Here is what I have done:
I have used the cute little Tessie Turtle which is by Lexi and available here at Fairydust Crafts. She has been coloured with Copics and Prismas. I then cut and matted her with my Spellbinder's Nesties. The papers are Nitwits. The sentiment is computer generated. I have used Memory Box dies for the clouds and MFT for the grass. I have put loads of Stickles on the flower and the clouds are made with glitter card - that is my sparkle. For my shine I have made the grass out of mirri card - not too sure if it stands out well on this picture. The ribbon is from my stash. We are sponsored this week by:
Joanna Sheen will be giving the lucky winner a £10 gift voucher to her on line store. Please pop over to Lexi's Creations and see what the rest of the talented DT have designed to titillate you!!
I'm off now for a mega house clean - groan!! How can one bundle of joy make so much mess??? See you tomorrow, take care xx

So sweet. I don't see many cards with turtles on so this really made me smile. I don't think my turtle would ever bring me a flower, he'd just eat it haha. x
