I am slightly in shock today after having my hair cut short for the first time in over 25 years - and I mean short - as in "Pixie" haircut. Each time I catch sight of my reflection I think "who's that?". I like it though and it was time for a change.
Anyhow, back to my card.
Here's what I used to make this card:-
Image: Cuddly Critters "All My Love" digi stamp
Sentiment: from "Round Greetings" stamp set - heat embossed with clear embossing powder.
Digi papers: "A Patchwork of Papers - Pink"
Colouring Medium: Promarkers
Tools: Nestabilities - Round and Scallop Round; Dovecraft Jumbo Daisy Punch; Martha Stewart "Doily Lace" border punch
Accessories: "Handmade with love" charm and Ribbon.
All of the above are available from Cuddly Buddly.
Thank you for visiting my blog today and for any comment you may leave. I hope you are all having a great week.
Hugs, Clare xx

Hi Clare, this is such an incredibly pretty card, gorgeous papers :) I've just caught a sneak peak of your profile piccy and WOW to your new look, its amazing...I've been thinking about getting my hair cut short but I don't know if I'm brave enough lol! :) Donna x
This is really cute and pretty Clare. Love that little mouse and the papers are gorgeous.
I did exactly the same with my hair many years ago just before my son was born. Went from hair down to my waist to less than 2 inches long. It is a bit of a shock isn't it.
A change does make you feel good though doesn't it.

How brave to cut your hair short after so long Hugs Julie x
Hi, Clare.. Found my way here from Sarita's blog. I saw your recommendation of Elzybells new inks, and having also struggled with finding an effective white opaque ink, I now have them both in my possession, and they work a treat.. the pigment on cardstock, and the hybrid on acetate. Brilliant! Thank you! :o)
Great blog, too! Glad I came! :o)
Hugs,
Chris xx
