Hello blogland, I'm back and boy have I missed you all! My summer season is over and I have no work (apart from running a home) for the next 5 months or so and I should be posting regularly again now on. I still have a fair bit of turmoil going on in my life and I'm expecting the builders to restart renovations soon, but not enough to keep me away from you all I hope. I might nip off for a bit of sunshine as our glorious summer ended with a bang before I was ready LOL
I'm back just in time for a brand new challenge at
DIVA'S BY DESIGN
and it's everyones favourite...
Anything Goes
I hope I can keep up with my commenting! Its been that long since I tried.
I have several cards that I started for DT work and didn't finish in time so I'm half way through my next few makes. Here is the first.
I just love this fab image from Mo Manning (I love all of Mo's super images) and I've had it half coloured on my desk for months, itching to use it. The papers are digital downloads from Scrap Orchard called Bella Gypsy, I'm addicted to my Magnolia Doo Hickey die So Wrapped tag and the WOC flowers are available from our fabulous sponsor this week
If you haven't been over there yet you are in for a treat! I love this shop!!
Head over to the main challenge blog for all the details and some fabulous inspiration from my teammies - I hope they remember who I am!!
Thank you for visiting me today and for hanging in there with me during my absence, I should be popping by your blogs any time soon.
Love 'n' Hugs Laurie xx

The colouring on this is awesome sweetie and I love the bold bright colour choices I'm such a massive Mos fan too! I am so glad you are back with us it must have been a crazy summer and we have def missed your stunning creations! Hugs rebekah xx
Hello Stranger!!! Your lack of crafting hasn't affected your mojo Laurie...your card is stunning (I wouldn't expect anything less!)...the colours are fab and as usual your colouring off the charts! I think you were a florist once upon a time as the flowers on your cards always look amazing. That butterfly is super cute and I love the wish sentiment. 11/10!! xxxxx ps I hope those renovations include a craft room ;-D
Great to see you back Laurie and with a super creation too
Have a good weekend
