I hope you can help me out here,I made this box to put some treats in for a friend, she never comes on my blog so no probs there....anyway, something about it isn't right, is it lacking something or does it need something....I can't put my finger on it at all, but it's driving me nuts....just not how I pictured it at all...feel really disappointed in it...what do you think...I mean REALLY think, should I ditch and start over.......hhheeeellllllllllpppppppppp....lol...

The pics are not good I know, but even thats not an excuse for it, the more I look the more I don't like what I'm seeing......oohhh dear....

Evening everyone, hope your all well and having a good week so far, if not...it'll soon be Friday..lol....
The card I made today is sooo not me, but I thought I'd have ago, everyone makes these single layer cards look so easy, I kept wanting to add more to it...had to back off in the end....hope you think it's ok.....
The image is Teddy Bea....I am sooo in love with this bear.....and I won her last week as a runner up in the TeddyBo challenge.....so thrilled..she is coloured with Promarkers and the background is shimmer chalks
Stamped the cardstock with a stamp that AuntySue passed on to me a while back, no name on it though...and then outlined in glitter...
Printed the sentiment on pc in showboat font...
THATS IT...lol.....nothing else to say...how short is that list.....
I am entering this into the following challenges..
TeddyBo...Favourite colour....PINK..

Creative Inspirations, one layer card.

Well thats me again girls, off to see some of your blogs now, see what I'm missing more like......lol...oh I must tell you this, many of you will know that my darling daughter is always asking me to make something or other...always the day before she wants it, she still believes I own a magic wand....anyhooo, the other day she comes round and wants a fruit basket, filled with fruits for some project at school, and YES....she HAD to have it the next morning....soooo...Mum went into crafting mode and did it.....it's flat backed, it has to stick on the wall...but I was quite pleased, those bananas were a bugger though...lol....and no wonder they send people Basket weaving as therapy...it works.... not saying I would shout it from the roof tops, but not too bad considering.....anyway, you get to see and don't be afraid to tell the truth....lol...
