A little bit of Bea!

Good afternoon lovely peeps! 

Sorry I am late, no excuses I just had a lovely lazy morning with the new love of my life, my kindle!! Lol!! I have always loved reading, but the kindle I got for my birthday has really re-awakened my passion of getting lost in a good book! and Logan was away for a sleepover last night and rob was off golfing first thing so I had a blissful morning curled up on the sofa!

Well on to the business at hand, it's time for another fabby challenge over at basic grey challenges this time we would love to see your creations using ribbon and lace!

I haven't used my teddy Bea's and Bo's for a wee while, and made a card for my father-in-law  the other day(to be revealed at a later date!) and couldn't wait to get this pretty miss inked up! and what is even better there is a sale on at the moment here I have coloured Bea with my copics, the DP's are of course Basic grey and these are from the Curio collection, I have followed the beautiful sketch over at CLP, this is my second entry, just loved this sketch

The Flowers are a mix of WOC and Kort & Godt, everything else is from my stash!
