Hi all
 today i decided to use up the old stash i have from magazines
 ...so here is a cute card i have made using free chipboard and papers i had in a while ago...I have left it without a sentiment as it is going in my charity pile and i think it will be suitable for lots of occasions ...I have added some handmade flowers which were made using a marianne d die [rolled roses] and a memory box die.
