* Found the missing piece *


Afternoon all, another beautiful day nice to do a bit of gardening, first crop of potatoes have now been planted and strawberry plants tidied and pinned the new runners.
Just thought i would have a few minutes play and made this card for the new challenge over at House Mouse & Friends, their theme is Lost & Found i found this quite a challenge as i couldn't think of anything i had lost or found recently until i saw this image on the triple cd and thought it would fit, well i hope it does so my lost and found is the missing piece to the jigsaw.
I'm also adding this card into this weeks challenge over at Cardz 4 Guyz who's theme this week is Typography and i have used the alphabet beads to make my typo
