Party Lucy

Hello Bloggers :)

I hope you are all well...

It's been a long time since I've shown you my "first" card, but you know what it is to be a mother & wife, and it's not always easy to find what busy women call "time for myself". I often feel like crafting, but I can't in the moment... and I'm always frustrated. On the other hand, I feel so inspired when I really have the opportunity to display my craft supplies on the dining table. I don't know if I would be able to create something "that would satisfy me" if I had to force myself.
Anyway... here I am with a new card to share using the pretty "Party Lucy" stamp.

I am entering the following challenges (first time for me, have never done this before) :

- Bunny Zoe's Crafts Monthly Challenge (Swirls and lace)

- Wild Orchid Crafts (Shabby Shic)
- Papertake (All Things Girlie)
- The Ribbon Challenge (Sweet Sparkles)
- Bearly Mine (Girly Birthday Card)

(This card has been inspired by the beautiful work of Silvie Z. (DT member of the magazine "Magnolia Ink"). HERE is the link of her "Party Lucy" card, isn't she lovely ?? :)
