My lovely day in the Lakes..

Hello!
How are we all today? I am feeling a little tired today, had a long day out yesterday but it was very nice. The weather turned out to be lovely too which made the day nice. As my Mam & Dad took me to the Lakes I thought it would be nice if I made them a little "Thank You" card, and I've got it here to share with you.
Mam and me went into The World of Beatrix Potter at Windermere, so it HAD to be a Beatrix Potter card & it HAD to be Peter Rabbit too!!
I have used my Peter Rabbit CD Rom, I printed the image & the blue gingham paper along with the sentiments. I added green cardstock, green rick rack ribbon, the border has been cut with a Martha Stewart doily lace border punch, I embossed the white card with a small flower embossing folder. Butterflies are punched with Martha Stewart monarch butterfly punch & added jewels from my stash. You can't really tell but I have sprayed & sparkled my image & the butterflies. You can find Beatrix Potter CD Rom's HERE.
I decorated the inside of the card too.
I used spotty paper on the inside & on the left-handside I thought it would be nice to add a picture from our day out. I took some nice ones inside Beatrix Potter which I would've liked but they were on Mam's camera - oops! So I used this one took by the Lake at Keswick.
I would like to enter my card into the following challenges:
Simon Says Stamp Challenge - BINGO. I'm going for Ribbon, Gems & Punches.
Papertake Weekly - Anything Goes
I have some photos to share with you from Beatrix Potter.
This is Petter Rabbit's Garden, with his little jacket & shoes hanging at the back.
And here is Beatrix Potter sitting as you arrive with all her little characters.
It was a really lovely day & if you haven't been into the world of Beatrix Potter I really would go as it was really nice.
I can't believe my holidays are nearlly over, booooooooooooooo I go back to work on Wednesday so I do still have a couple of days left, PHEW! LOL Hope you all have a FAB day I can't wait for tonight's Olympics with Tom Daley!! Woooooooooooo fingers crossed we can get into the final tomorrow night! I'm watching the womens diving final from last night so see you all soon! TTFN xxxxx
