Wishing you a day that sparkles!

Hello, the sun is shining here and it is, actually, quite a sparkly day, with the light bouncing off the pond and waterfall, (oh, and even more frogspawn - previous post LOL!).
Meg is away in respite this weekend, and much as I love her, it is so lovely to have some free time and a couple of full nights sleep (mainly why she has respite, as she can't turn herself over in bed, so not only up in the night to toilet her but also to turn her whenever she's uncomfortable, the constant disturbed nights catch up with you eventually!). Went out for a meal friday night (local pub) with Eric's sister and her hubby and off out for another meal tonight with my friend and her hubby, making the most of it before Meg comes home tomorrow and I start my diet, yet again! LOL!.

Anyway here is a card I have put together with goodies from the Clipart Fairy, I used the pink stripe alpha from here, (I have layered some of the letters up), the green plaid paper from this set, the pink dotty papers for base and lollipop flowers from this set and the fairy from here. Lots of glamour dust, including some gold, a couple of rhinestones from stash and some card candy used for stoppers, bought at the last Sincerely Yours papercraft show at Leigh.

 Card closed.

Card open, fairy dangling on acetate.

View from side, it's sort of a reversed easel card.

Fairy - all sparkly with glamour dust.

Coincidentally, the Sincerely Yours craft show is once again at Leigh sports village, Lancashire next Sunday 13th March, you may even get to see the Fairy there! If you haven't been to a Sincerely Yours show yet look out for one in your area, I think Norfolk and Edinburgh are coming up in the next couple of weeks, they have a great selection of papercrafting retailers, nothing else, unlike the big national shows that have knitting, sewing, etc., as well!

**Edited to add** there is a fab freebie paper at the Clipart Fairy.
