SENTIMENTAL SUNDAYS - INSPIRED BY SONG - I AM BEAUTIFUL (no matter what they say)!!

Hi peeps - how are you all? Warm and cosy I hope.
This is NOT a Christmas card (hurrah I hear you say!) -    it's this weeks DT card for Sentimental Sundays and there's a great theme for the Challenge ~ "Inspired By Song" (plus a sentiment), and this is my take on the Christina Aguilera song "BEAUTIFUL". Would you believe it - this song choice was my hubby's idea!!
******
There were lots of fabulous entries again last week - thanks to everyone who took part, and we look forward to seeing what you come up with for this week's fantastic challenge. For full details, FREEBIE SENTIMENTS, and some great DT inspiration, just click the link above to take you there!
********
My card recipe:-
A beautiful digi image from the oh-so-talented  Mo Manning
Ann Vento Sentiment (part of a fab. set) - can be found here
Image coloured with Copics - background coloured with
blue craft chalk, applied with a cotton-wool ball.
Edges inked with Broken China DI, and Versafine Vintage Sepia.
Papers - Stampin UP
Corner punch - Anna Griffin
Ribbon, eyelets and Glamour Dust - from stash.
I would like to enter this into
Challenge 62 at Mo's - Fantasies and Fairies.
(I think this Prima Ballerina in her fab. tutu might be a fantasy for some of us)!! and also at
~ Free and Easy ~ Anything Goes.
*******
Have a wonderful, stress-free, "pre-Christmas" week.
Love to all who visit -

Hi there

Sorry it's come to this.......

I am thrilled you have joined in my "Free and Easy" theme at Allsorts this fortnight and confess to being astounded by the huge response this weekend.

I usually like to visit every entry and say a few words about their creations, but the sheer volume so far along with the Christmas preparations we all have to juggle means this is a "copied and pasted" message, for which I apologise.

Wishing you a very Happy Christmas and wonderful holiday time.
