High Hopes Challenge 7 - Sparklemania!

Wow, I can't believe the week has gone so quickly and that it's Sunday already! Our challenge this week over at the High Hopes challenge blog is -

free glitter text and family website at FamilyLobby.com

I know my card doesn't look very sparkly but my dp is sparkly but this didn't photo well. I have also used a shimmer brad, adhesive pearls and added stickles to the dragons flower. I have also used this fabulous sketch which was created by Kristine over at Friday Sketchers.

Isn't this dragon and his little friend so sweet!.. or should that be tweet! he he..! The stamp and sentiment are part of this months featured stamps:

Hope you are all having a great Sunday!
Hugs,
