Easter Card

Good morning to all my friends and followers. I didn't  post any thing last week as I was away on holiday walking in the  Peak District. We had a great week weather was good except for Tuesday when it poured so did some retail therapy instead of walking. The cottage we stayed at in Monyash has no WiFi so I'm way behind on comments so will get up to date with all your posts during the week. I can see you have all been busy creating beautiful things.

My card this morning is an Easter card that I made before I went away. I used the LOTV Summer Church and their new papers Baskets and Bunnies its a really lovely paper pad gorgeous colours.
