We're back from a very wet Cornwall but we had a lovely break. It was lovely to see my Mum and for the girls to play with their Nanny.
Here is a card I made today to cover two challenges. Firstly Friday sketchers which is using the fabulous sketch by Bea as shown below. Also this weeks Mothers and Daughters creations which is to use Stickles on your card.
The shell on my card was collected by my girls at Looe beach on Sunday. It was chucking down and both girls were like drowned rats but had such a great time digging around with their buckets and spades with my Mum. All stamps can be purchased from Silly Monkey Crafts.
I also came home to this lovely award from my good friend Justine - thanks honey!
I know this award has been around lots but would like to pass it to any of my friends who make my day and leave me comments who haven't received it.
My daughter Zoe and her friend Hannah's new challenge started today over at Crafty Monkey's. Please show them your support and ask you little ones to take part. They have a Magnolia stamp to give to one lucky winner.
Have a great weekend!
Hugs,

What a beautiful card! Love the way you colored the image!
I have awarded you on my blog Nikki!
This is an awesome little mermaid. I simply love the way you've coloured her - it's great - and the shell! Perfect touch I had a look at your catalogue - it's funny that a lot of the sets that were discontinued a year or so ago for us are now available for you. Good to know they're still using the templates. Some are ones that I miss - So I think you're lucky.
Have a great day! Hugs - Joan
FANTASTIC Nikki!! love what you did with the ribbons
hugs,
