Floating hearts and beautiful butterfly

Hi everyone!  In case anyone had wondered if I had disappeared, I am just back from a two week holiday to Thailand.  Glad to see my scheduled posts worked while I was away.  We'v had a rubbish return though - first off we went to pick up our car from the long stay car park at the airport and found that the suspension had broken so we had to wait around for hours for a tow truck.  We didn't get home until 3am!  And then we went to pick up the dogs from the kennels in the morning and our poor Poppy has been unwell - really listless and not eating so I'm very worried about her.  And then to top it all off, went through our mail and found that someone had cloned my credit card and went on a £3k spending spree!  Our punishment for having a fantastic holiday!

But anyway, back to my card for today!  Bit of a soppy title for this post, but it's exactly how I'm describing my card using some of those gorgeous Docrafts goodies!  See what you think...

The Docraft goodies I used were:

Blue Daisy paper collection (free download here)

Xcut Heart Nesting Dies set

Xcut Falling Hearts embossing folder

Xcut Butterflies A5 die set, 

Xcut Kushgrip Craft Knife

Papermania Monochrome Adhesive Stones 

I usually add a sentiment to my cards but I didn't think I'd need one for this card as it could be used for many different occasions.  Perhaps I'll stick on a sentiment on it when I decide to use it!  I think I'm going to give this one either to my mum or my mother-in-law.

Okay, I gotta go now.  If you like any of the goodies, you can find a Docraft stockist here.  I'll be back tomorrow with my Alicia Bel and La-La Land Crafts DT posts - see you then!

Lili of the Valley blog hop!

It's time for another Lili of the Valley design team blog hop to show you some inspiration of their latest products that will be available to buy from the store from midday GMT on Monday 24 February.

There are 6 new paper pads, 5 new art pads and a set of family sentiment tags.  And, of course, there are prizes!  We have a full set of the new paper pads to give away - 2 winners will each get 3 pads each and there is a third prize of the family sentiment tags.  Just join the blog hop, leaving comments along the way.  Winners will be randomly drawn and announced on Monday morning.

Here is my DT make using papers from the new Heartfelt pad and a sweet pre-coloured image from the new Bunnies art pad...

What mummy wouldn't love to receive such a sweet image?!  I am lovin' these pre-coloured pads - this card took me all of 15 minutes to make!  The sentiment is from the Handwritten Phrases stamp set and I simply finished it off with some die cut hearts and a punched butterfly with a pearl.

Here's a look at all of the new goodies...

Okay, so onto the hop!  You should have arrived here from the lovely Kathy and now need to hop off to the sweet Mindy.  If you get lost or want to join from the beginning, go to the Ideas to Inspire blog where you'll find all the deets too.

I'll be back tomorrow with my Whimsie Doodles' Doodlelicious Diva make!
