Afternoon Everyone,
Welcome back to my wee bit of blogland. I hope that you are all doing ok and are not struggling too much with the goings on over the world just now. I think it seems much scarier this time with the new strains of covid and the fact that we aren't able to be out in the garden as much due to the cold of winter. Booo!!!
Mind the Gap made me smile and think of the exciting times I used to have on London on the tube!!! I lived down there for a while when I qualified as a Midwife. I lived right over from Big Ben in the Nurses home for St Thomas Hospital. Prime location to explore the city and no need for a clock as you just looked out the window!!!!!! Its like a whole different persons life now when I think about it as I cant get out of our town now without a panic attack!! Silly Faulty Brain!!!
Anyway enough waffle!! My make is for the Butterfly Challenge which has returned from its holidays!! Hurray!!!!
Its a gap card we were asked to make by Mrs A. I also played with my Scan and Cut for the butterfly. Its a layered one with all the colours peeping through!! Or at least they would be if I hadn't been so generous with sparkle!!!

Great card and looks like you are having fun with your machine. Hugs Anesha
Gorgeous card Hazel! I had a go a this challenge too and will post tomorrow. It's funny how we can look back at the things we did when younger, how brave we were then! But you know we are still brave when you think about what we are going through right now. So don't be hard on yourself! Think of all the positive things you do and remember how amazing you are!! Hugs Pinky
