Morning all
Not having a great few days Son has been in agony with an abscess that has returned and will most probably need surgery again
I just about managed to get my DT project done in time, for this fortnights challenge over at
Ruby's Rainbow
Our theme this time round was chosen by team mate Debbie which is to use 
* Texture *
I started with some embossed card then added a strip of corrugated card and ribbon, then added brads, flowers, leaves, feathers, charm and a bow, think there's enough different textures there
Hope you will pop over and join us
