Make it Sparkle at Joanna Sheen

Good morning Everyone, 
I hope you are all having a lovely weekend.
We took Emma and Tom to see Frozen at the cinema on Friday night - We were just going with a couple of friends but ended up with 20 kids and 10 adults!! What a brilliant film! The animation is just astounding. We all loved it! It's well worth seeing if you get the chance.

Anyway, I need to tell you about our midway reminder for the Joanna Sheen Challenge which is ....
                                             MAKE IT SPARKLE
I've used a gorgeous image from the House Mouse CD but the photo doesn't show off the card properly. It looks much better in RL, but no matter how many photo's I took the camera seems to want to change the colours!!

I've used a Marriane Creatables Tree die and snowflake die and lots and lots of glitter! The pearls and ribbons are from my stash and the sentiment tags are from Lili of the Valley.

We also have some very sad news for you. 

This is the very LAST challenge on the Joanna Sheen Challenge Blog. 

Unfortunately Joanna Sheen has decided to close the challenge blog. It is such a shame as I know that many of you love to enter this challenge. I for one will miss being part of a fabulous design team, but I am lucky to have made some lovely friends there.
It would be lovely to see lots of you enter this last challenge and make it a good one. Don't forget there is £30 voucher for one lucky winner

Thanks for taking the time to visit me and for all your lovely comments.
