Today sees the start of a brand new challenge at Lexi's Creations. To celebrate our Fourth Birthday in October and also as October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month we want to see:
PINK
Whoo-hoo we just love our pink don't we!! Here is what I have done -
Whenever I think of pink I always think of ballerinas too! I bought this image on the internet it came on a sheet with others and I am sorry I can't remember where, not Nicecrane where I normally buy this type of image though. The papers are Nitwits and I have done a fair bit of distressing. I matted the image on Spellbinders Romantic Rectangles. The bird cage and bow have been cut out of a chocolate box (empty :-0) using a Cheery Lynn die for the bird cage and Lil' Inker for the bow tie. Both of them have been given the Frantage treatment too using Aged Rose. The border is Cheery Lynn Sophia's Heart and I used Centura Pearl. The sentiment which you can't really read in this photo is from Craftwork Cards.
Our sponsor for this challenge is:
So please go over to the challenge blog for more inspiration from the DT!
I am off to my Aunt's shortly her GP surgery rang her and said the doctor is coming to see her. She is worried to death that they want to put her in hospital and asked me to be there. I have tried explaining that they don't go around looking for customers for hospital as they have enough already but she is convinced! She is 91 and very arthritic but apart from that in glowing health and sharp as a razor!
Thank you so much for looking today and any comments that are always so lovely to receive! I will be back tomorrow (twice) so see you then! Take care xx

I agree with the poster that mentioned your card has a Dagas feel to it. Such a wonderful image on a wonderful card. I shall remember that chocolate box idea...it looks fabulous!
Me again...thanks for the comments about Monaco.
We are a bit worried about all these trips...it would be so hard to have a daughter married and eventually having a family in another country!
She is very glamorous so probably feels right at home there. teehee
Very beautiful and elegant x
This is fabulous Susan, I love your beautiful ballerina image and bird cage die cut.
I hope everything was OK with your Aunt.
