Triple Challenge Card

Wow 2 postings in one day, that does not happen very often, but I just had to find time to fit in this card as it was an excuse to use my favourite colour pink! Not that I need many excuses I think I should rename my blog Lynsey's Pink Place as so many of my cards end up being pink!
This card is for 3 challenges, the first is for the Forever Friends and their challenge is to use your favourite colour and the second challenge this card is for is the new challenge blog Charisma Cardz and they also have the same theme so I went to town on the pink! The third challenge this card is for is Sketch Saturday who provided a great sketch this week.

Exhausted and Awards!

Well I'm exhausted after my 3 days back at work but I have enjoyed it. I think it will make the time I spend with my daughter Grace more special as well. She got on well at nursery but is a little unsettled in the evenings at the moment but I hope that will improve as time goes on. Grace spent today with her Grandma and Granddad as they are having her one day a week and she was very happy by all accounts which is good as it makes leaving her much easier. Thanks to everyone who left words of support I have really appreciated it.

Now on to my awards, I received these awards from some of my lovely blogging friends, thanks so much to

Amy, Gina, Michele and Alison. Thanks so much to all of you for thinking of me.

I would like to pass this on to all the lovely people that visit my blog and always leave me such lovely comments, you all make my day! So thanks to you all.

Pollycraft Monday Challenge 6 - Doodling

This week's challenge over at Pollycraft Monday Challenge has been set by the very talented Emma and you have to do some doodling on a card so whether doodling is just your thing or takes you out of your comfort zone why not join in with the challenge! There is a fantastic prise for the winner of 'From The Heart Flourishes' Corner and Heart stamps, just remember to use a Pollycraft element on your card. My design team card features a Woodland Elf stamp called 'Adoration' available from Pollycraft Designs. I am still managing to keep up with decorating my envelopes at the moment and I have used another stamp 'Toodstools' from Pollycraft.

Well today was a big day for me and my little girl Grace, after 10 months on maternity leave I went back to work today and Grace had her first day at nursery. It was hard leaving her this morning but we both got on ok! I'm only working part-time so I am sure we will both get used to it soon.

Thanks for stopping by, please leave a comment if you have time.
