Hoppin' Sunday

I had a fabulous day yesterday at Crafts U Love especially has I met the lovely Kim Piggott. Her cards are always gorgeous on her blog but they are even more amazing in real life. It was fascinating to watch Kim use distress inkpads to colour her image and the different technique she uses from Bev. It was also lovely to catch up with some friends too at the hall where we were very noisy chatting.
After spending a significant amount of money there, we took the 40minute journey to the Glitter pot where Jane Gill was sitting quietly away and colouring her images with Inktense pencils and also where a couple of Penny Blacks fell into the Shopping Basket, one of which was this frog.
I've used him for the Penny Black recipe challenge, 3 ribbons, 2 flowers (I didn't include the flower with the image I considered that wasn't my fault)and a pin or charm. Found the star pin long forgotten in my stash and added some beads. The papers are crate paper that was on sale at Crafts U Love so seeing has thats a bargain I didn't mind using them.
Now I really must make my Mother's Birthday card, I can't put it off any longer its in a couple of days. I've chosen the image just need to sort out the papers to match.
