I'm feeling the winter chill today, we rarely get snow that settles and this week woke to 4 inch deep snow fall which caused the Police to close the local area to all cars, which was followed up by a mini blizzard the next morning, thanks to an Antarctic blast. Just to add to all of this we have had a slow leak in the ceiling which dripped all over the book shelf I keep my card making supplies in, which means I have had to have a forced clean up and the ceiling has had to be cut open to find the location of the problem meaning our house looks like a craft bomb has hit it, my supplies are everywhere while the ceiling/roof timbers dry out and then it can be repaired... so it turns out that the hot water heater over flow pipe that runs to the outside of the house was never sealed when it was installed more than 40yrs ago and it has slowly move apart leaving a gap of 3 inches where there was no pipes connected...
Today brings us to a new challenge with my lovely team mates over at Lil Patch of Crafty Friends which is as always Anything goes, this fortnight we are sponsored by Emerald Faeries who generously gave the design team two images to work with, I have used the super cute image called Jewel to make a very girly card.

Here is my card:-
White 12.6x.17.8cm card blank (5"x7")
Emerald Faeries Jewel digital stamp
Sentiment not sure where it is from
Derwent and Faber Castell pencils
Clear Wink of Stella

Oh what a shame this is. I hope it dries out and get fixed properly soon. It's good to clean things out but not forced like you were. This is a darling image and colored so pretty. Love her striped top and the way you framed her with the lace die and flowers.
Gorgeous card and image. We rarely get snow either so always lovely to see as long as one doesn't need to get out and about. Emmax
I hope the leak didn't damage too much of your crafty stash Megan and hope it is soon fixed for you. I love the delicate colours you used on this pretty card x
A really pretty card, lovely papers and design with a sweet image. I have that die and never thought of using it side ways.
Sorry to hear about your problem, hope you get back to normal soon.

A pretty and girly card, the image is so adorable and I like how you've framed the oval with flowers x
Your card is so cute, Megan, what a wonderful image. It seems strange to hear that you've had several inches of snow, while we're in the middle of summer..... although with the drop in temperature this week, it feels more like autumn! xx
Oh what a very very pretty card, Megan, beautifully executed, well done, lovely image layout suits it well.
Oh dear what a lot better f drama, a leak in the ceiling, how awkward it was above your craft supplies, pray nothing of great importance was damaged.
No fun at all, sending hugs your way... so glad it’s solved and remediable. Cold blast indeed!
Thanks for being a blessing, and may God bless you too.
Hugs, Shaz in Oz.x

This is a very sweet card! Lovely coloring. I’m sorry for your leak problems, and one that is 40 years old, who figured! I hope it all gets patched up now and you can get back to a more tidy life.
Wish I could throw all my cares to the wind, such a great card. Denielle Whicker - Design Team Member Happy Craft Challenge Anything Goes http://www.happycraftchallenge.blogspot.com
