Pretty in Pink

I have some super exciting news to share.  I've been holding it in for a week, and feel that I'm almost ready to burst.  Out of the blue I received an email from Jacqui at Lili's Little Fairies last week, saying that she had seen some of my Lili of the Valley cards (yes, there have been quite a few lately!!) and she wondered if I'd like to join the team.

Hmmm, let me think about that one for a mo ..... Hell yeah baby!!

LOTV images are my favourite rubber stamps, and I don't think there is a single one that I don't drool over.

Jacqui's email couldn't have come at a better time too.  After reluctantly giving up 3 of my long standing DT's last Christmas in advance of starting a new job (that'll be the job that pays for my stamping addiction), I'm now nearly 7 months into the new role.  Although it's still stressful and long hours while I'm learning the ropes, I've also realised that I need my crafting to help me relax and forget the troubles of the day job.


So what better than a DT post where I can create with my beloved collection of LOTV stamps every week.  I just hope I can hold my own next to the talented girles who are already on the team.

Speaking of which, I'd better get back to the business of my very first Lili's Little Fairies DT card.

The challenge theme is ... can you guess .... "Pretty in Pink"
