Moving Along Backwards!

Good Morning my crafty friends I must apologise I have been absent again - August is just not my month for fun and games - It's the peak holiday season and work is mental, on top of that I had to dash over to my Mothers, hence I'm typing this at 2.40am!!

It's Thursday already which means new challenge time over at
and this week my fab friend Lisa has given us all a week off by asking for a

Flashback!
Lisa wants us to post an old project that we are proud of .. could be one of your first using a particular technique /a project you won a challenge with / or just a project you really liked.

This was quite difficult for me as I've not been blogging long and it doesn't seem like two minutes since I first posted this lol.  It was in January and it was my first ever LOTV stamp and I was soooooo pleased with this card it also earnt me a couple of new followers which really made my day!! It contains most of my favourite card ingredients and I was just learning about shading in colouring. I've learnt so much in the short time I've been blogging and I have you all to thank for that!

We are sponsored this week by
Stampin With Brenda
The prize will be THREE FREE months of The How to WOW Paper Crafting Techniques Club.  Information can be found here

I hope you will all get time to join us and repost your favourites for us this week. Don't forget to check out the main challenge blog to see if you were a lucky winner last week and to see what my favourite girls have posted on the DT for your inspiration.
Once again I would like to remind you that my candy is still running for those that have not entered yet and I would to thank those that have and for all the lovely birthday comments - I have 5 more days of being 49!!

Thanks for taking the time to visit me
Love 'n' Hugs Laurie xx
