Todays card is a Sugar Nellie with Lizzie, she is one of my favourite digi stamps. I have used a distress theme with her as well.

I hope you have not forgot me out there. Whilst I have not been able to craft and post I have been keeping up to date with all your creations but not been able to leave any comments. I was so busy the last two weeks before my holiday and just did not get time to craft. My holiday to Cyprus was great and although it was only a week ago since I got back it feels like months.

Anyway today I had to get a card done quick as a last minute order. I got up really early to try and get the crafting juices moving and sorted through all my new digi papers and other bits I had not had chance to look at. I eventually got it together and was very pleased with the end result.
