I love travelling and have a list of "Places to Visit" that is almost as long as the list of books to read on my kindle. There just aren't enough hours in the day!!!

My visitor

This is my houseguest for the next two weeks.  Hopefully she will let me get some cards made :)


This week Bah! Humbug! wanted a card for a teenager. What is a teenager?  I have three nieces aged between 13 & 16 - and all three are totally different.  The eldest is studying for A levels -  including Welsh and Psychology, & also has been learning Chinese.  The second one is a tomboy with a black belt in TaeKwondo (?) and the youngest one wanted to be a fairy princess when she grew up.   
This card is made from several different pieces of 12 x 12 paper that has been in my scrapbook drawer for some time, & some pearl buttons from my button box. It is not a colour combination that I would chose for myself.  I have based it on the sketch from Jingle Belles ( very loosely)  I am also entering it into the following challenges
Winter Wonderland - Pearls & Swirls

OMG your "houseguest" is adorable!!! i'm not sure she'll be alllllllll that much help in a crafty sense, but on the other hand the "torn paper" look is quite popular, lol! ♥♥♥

loving the gorgeous colors and patterns on your card! what utterly FAB paper that is! pink and green are one of my favorite color combos generally, and this version is terrific!!! :)

Very pretty card. Awww I think you'll love having your house guest, although I'm not sure how much crafting she'll allow. Thanks for joining in my CHNC challenge 24 - hope to see you again soon. x

All teenagers are different Janet - guess we have to make cards to suit the ones we know and love (?)
