Paper Play DT Card - Hidden Extra

Hi Blogging Buddies,
This week for Paper Play the theme is Hidden Extra
"Add a hidden extra to your project. A tag, gift card, journalling, etc."

We are sponsored by Whimsy Stamps they sell lots of things including Meljen Design images which is what I have used on my card.


I used a little envelope sticker and inside there is a tag which you can pull out and on the tage I have glued a metal butterfly.

I used Prima papers and a note card from the Jack n Jill Collection which you can get from The Craft Garden. I also used some Prima flowers in the top right hand corner and some other flowers next to the ribbon. I added a hat pin with some pearls and crystals. The base card stock is SU Craft. I inked all the edges with Vintage Photo ink and added gold glimmermist.

I would like to enter the following challenges:
Creative Card Crew - Bloomin' Marvellous
Cupcake Card Challenge - Pink and Brown
C.R.A.F.T. Challenges - Fancy Florals

Here is a cute little picture we took yesterday of one of our lambs...
I couldn't resist sharing him too...

We walked down to Mum and Dad's this afternoon to get some more mix-up lamb's milk and they asked us to stay for tea so we had yummy pork chops for dinner and then Mum made an apricot desert for after. It was so nice to see them again as they have only just got back (a few days ago) from their holiday. We drove the ute back home with Ellie on the back and will be using it to have a bit of a clean-up in the yard tomorrow. We have to start getting ready for summer...cleaning up any bits of rubbish and making sure we can mow everywhere and keep the grass down. We dont want any snake visitors this year if we can help it! I went and got my hair done in town today and decided to get a little retail therapy. I feel so much better! It is amazing what a good cut and colour can do for you. I also got some good shopping done too. There is not much to choose from in Tamworth, but I did the best I could with what we have and I even got some super bargains! Two new pairs of shoes for work, four new summer tops, a necklace, some bangles and two t-shirts for Ben. I havent bought any clothes all term...so it is nice to freshen up the wardrobe a bit.

Sorry for rambling on tonight...I must be feeling chatty! Hope you had a great day today. I will be blog-hopping and commenting tomorrow and doing a big catch-up so will see you then!

Hi Alicia. this is STUNNING WITH A CAPITAL A.
love the little envelope with the tag, its all so full of gorgeousness.
it seems so strange you buying summer clothes when we are getting ready for winter, when I saw the lamb it also seemed strange as I am a farmers daughter too and it will be a while before we have new lambs.
happy spring to you love chris xx
