Happiness is a long, hot, bubble bath.

Here's a card I made for my BFF.

She has a chronic illness that she refuses to give in to, so she runs on pure adrenaline most of the time. It means that when she crashes, she usually ends up with a few days in hospital.

I wanted to remind her to chill out, relax and take care of herself.

I started with the bubble bath image from Sassy Studio designs. It's actually a full image of a lady in the bath, but I cropped it down and then paper pieced the bath and used stickles glitter for the bubbles.

The chandelier, was a free digi from Shery K Designs.

I couldn't find the right shade of gold ribbon in my stash, so I cut some little ribbon style pieces from the DP and finished off with the card candy.

DP is My Mind's Eye, True Blue.

Challenges

This is my card for this week's Totally Papercrafts Challenge
where the theme is

Girly Girls

 I kept the card pretty simple and just had fun with all that fiddly paper-piecing. The DP's are My Mind's Eye Mabel, available from this week's sponsor, Crafty Emma.
Pop over to Emma's Store and see the gorgeous new papers she has for pre-ordering - all with 20% off.

Here's a close up of some of the paper-piecing.

I also discovered that my glue pen worked brilliantly for sticking down these tiny pieces.

So, get rummaging through all your girly supplies and join in the challenge, and don't forget to check out the amazing work of my teamies.

Just a quick post,  as I have a STRIPPING job lined up for today! (Wallpaper that is!) :-)

Here's my card for the 'Less is More' challenge 'Off the Edge'.

***Awww shoot!! Just been told that, for this challenge, the card  needs to be ONE LAYER, and my birds are stuck on!!! Sorry about that girls, in my excitement I blocked that bit out...lol*** I will remove my card and go back to the drawing board. :D)  ***

I couldn't decide on a suitable stamp, so I cut out these birds from my DP, added some black card for the wing and a little black gem for the eye, and finished off with my sentiment and another gem. 

This also fits the 'Black & White' challenge at Craft Your Days Away.

Have a lovely day - and if anyone wants to join me, I have spare scrapers and will supply all the tea you can drink!
