  40. Hi, Nic! Glad you got a bit of me time on your relaxer - I managed 10 minutes in the sun the other day, before retreating to the shade because it was scorching! (Not complaining though, apart from the heat lumps!) Love this card and cute image - I'm really into things hanging off cards at the minute, though it can be a nightmare for finding envelopes! Great colouring as always, pretty papers and fab embellies make for a lovely card! Lisa x
