This past week has been a whirlwind for me - very exciting, but a whirlwind. Today I feel like I have been chasing my tail...lots of cards started at various stages, but hard to get one finished...but I have got the Midnight Madness Sketch Challenge finished:
This is one of my favourite challenges (okay, they are all favourites) and I would have been so disappointed to have missed the deadline!!
I have used a scripture and Nestie that my friend Kathy (aka Wattle) has sent me, I just love that Labels 4 Nestie!!) and combined it with flowers from the lovely Abby's Candy, plus that gorgeous butterfly which came in a RAK from one of my Twisted Sisters, Peggy (aka Marilyn Prestonn) and the Vintage Corner which was also from one of my Twisted Sisters Judy Kell - where would I be without my friends - well, one thing is for sure - this card would be pretty boring! LOL!
I have added a punched border, WHICH IS MINE!! LOL!, Ribbon and bling and sponging complete this soft and feminine card!! I have realised that I have done no stamping on it...but there is still one amazing mess to clean up before the kids get home!!
Thank you for looking and for your kind comments - you are always so encouraging and make my day! There is more of me and something for you, on my Blog: http://lovelylindascraftcentral.blogspot.com/

Oooo...A 'linking arms' card! How lovely! It always tickles me to see your RAK's used so beautifully! I love those flowers, and have been to every Michael's for more, but they were a seasonal item and now gone. I have a precious few left. Linda, this card is so perfect for many occasions and a wonderful reminder. Thanks so much for sharing! XO

Typical Lovely Linda product! Gawgus!!! I do not know how you do so much creativity in the late hours. I guess I am a morning person as that is usually when I am the most productive. This elegant package is beautiful.
