Unfortunately we are without Judith this week, she lost her bags (containing her camera) while on a trip to Florida and hopefully she will be back with us in two weeks time when she says she will back in the UK again, I also hope she gets her bags returned to her soon not much fun when they go astray.
And now for the reveal I am so grateful to ALL my A Team they work so hard to create cards for you and I hope you like and love them as much as I do especially this weeks contributions as they are just gorgeous.
