Distressed Style Card

Happy Sunday everyone x


I have been sooo busy this week. We have been decorating my Daughters room ready for the new arrival. I cannot believe how stressful it is & how upside down your house ends up. STILL... all finished now, looks lovely. Just can't wait for bubba now Lol


My Mum has finally exchanged contracts & moves on Friday. I lost Dad 3yrs in March to cancer. I have always had them living near to me. Mum only lives round the corner, 5 mins walk. My kids are always round there. She is now moving to Godstone, it's not a million miles away, will take about 1 & half hrs to get there by bus & train. I am so happy for her & jealous coz she is going to have her own Craft Room !!! Lol


Anyway... enough of my waffle & on to my card.


IMAGE: LOTV rubber stamp. (just had to buy this, reminded me of my Daughter).
