These are a few of my favourite things ...

Today is Toby Angel and Fluffy Stuff - Take 2 !!!

After my first play with Toby Everyday Angel yesterday and the pink fluffy stuff I used on the cloud, I decided to have another go, this time using white for the cloud instead.

This card is a real collection of my favourite things;  the cutest image, the scalloped circle shaped card, the girlie pink colour,pretty flowers, pearls, papers, swirl, and my all-time favourite ribbon from Fantastic Ribbon (which I've just ordered 2 more reels of.   I must ensure I don't run out !)

I'm also rather proud of this sentiment which is one of my own (see my freebies page if you want to grab it).

The only thing that is disappointing is that I'd ordered some new charms at the weekend which included some really cute baby themed ones.  I'd hope to use one of those here, but unfortunately they've not arrived in time to get this post done, so I've opted for a little silver leaf instead, which is still cute.

I had a bit of a crafting spending spree at the weekend, which is a bit naughty as I'm on unpaid leave this week (I wanted some extra holiday this year to match hubby's lengthy school hols), so not only am I not earning anything, but I've also got more time on my hands to shop more !!!   I ordered loads of charms, pretty brads, some ribbons and a few other bits and bobs.  Nothing major, but it all adds up, so really need to tie up the purse strings for the rest of the week, and try to behave myself.  A quick peek at the credit card bill should shock me back onto the right track again !!

Anyway, I digress.  Here is a close up of the image with the fluffy cloud and glittered wings.  Isn't he just the cutest :

Fluffy Stuff is 'snow in a bottle !!' I've edited my post to include a link to a website that sells it. They only sell in the UK, but it will show you what it is. I get mine in my local craft shop, The Craft Room in Newton Abbot, Devon.
