Hi Coops, your card is really cute - perfect for a little boy. Love the leaf patterned paper and the stickled clouds. When my kids were little I always thought that as long as I got the tea on the table the rest could just wait it's sweet time till I got to it :) I think you are performing miracles doing what you do. Hugs, Elizabeth x

Well I for one would love to know your secret - all these gorgeous cards and you work and you are a wife / mother and your DTs and commenting.
Makes me tired just thinking about it!!

I really don't know how you make so many wonderful cards (I was actually here now to say sorry for not commenting on your last few cards - have been busy!) and keep up with the loads of comments you get!

I think you should be up for some sort of wonder woman award, personally!!
