I do seem to have rambled on this morning, so now without further ado I want to show you what my Team have created for you, we are down two members this time as both Ann Marie and Paola where unable to take part this week due to other committements, and of course its the last time that Julie and Lorraine will officially be part of my Team. Thank you so much girls for all your hard work and as always Im blown away with your cards they are just gorgeous.
