At last I'm back to being a normal person, so to speak!

Good afternoon, at last I have finished my work for school didn't think it would take as long as it has.  Making up worksheets for the kiddies to do takes so much time and brain power ;D

I have managed to finish of a card that I have been working on over the weekend. What with  all the things us women have to do I had to fit this card into doing all the chores, I still have a few things to do but as my favourite saying goes "it can wait until tomorrow"!

Anyway enough of my rambling and on to the card creation....

I am entering this card into the Anything goes Challenge ~Ribbon's &  Allsorts Challenge  and this week the challenge is

 "Lets play bingo" 

You get to choose whichever row you like - down, across or diagonally - and use that material on your project. I was spoilt for choice, it took me ages to pick which was my favourite.  In the end I went diagonally "PUNCH, FLOWERS, PEARLS.

I have really gotten into making these easel cards they are simply great and fun to make.. The strip of card along the bottom is just card that i have crimped and edged with distressing inks then used the nifty Tim Holtz distressing tool to roughen up the edges.  It came out better than I expected, looking a lot like cardboard.
