Less is More week 98-Anniversary

Yippee, I'm back in my craft room! Did you miss me? Just joking but it's been 10 days since I posted anything but the inspector has been and I'm allowed back amongst the electrics. I have to say it's been worth it, I'm loving my extension but I have to wait a bit longer for my kitchen to be refitted as the builders have another job in between.
Anyhow back to crafting! this week's challenge at LIM Towers is an Anniversary theme. Anything appropriate but not necessarily with the word on the card. I was so excited about being able to produce a card that I probably overdid it so I hope it qualifies as a CAS card! Come and see:


 Recipe:
6 x 6 square base card
Fleur de Lis die
Cherry Blossom EF
Liquid pearls Petal Pink
Victorian Velvet DI
WOW sentiment
Sizzex heart

We have a busy week ahead, last minute clearing up as Charlie is arriving on Thursday for Jim's birthday (a special one) and there are things all over that can now find a new home in the extension:) Then we are off to stay with them in Portsmouth for Charlie's first Christmas.
If I don't catch up with you all I hope you have a wonderful Christmas and New Year.

Hope you like the new background, I couldn't resist it:)
