Ebony - Pollycraft cutie

Hello! hope you are all ok and had a lovely Bank Holiday weekend. We've had lots of lovely sun here, although my arms were sunburnt yesterday whilst doing the garden. We have been putting it off as it was very overgrown, so it took us all day. Chuffed to bits now though as it looks lovely.

We have a party next weekend for our son Kyle. It's his 21st (can't believe it, where has the time gone?) so we decided to have a huge garden party and decided on a Circus/Carnival theme. All our friends are getting dressed up and we have lots of games planned. So over the next few days we will be finishing our outfits and making hook a ducks etc. I think me and hubby are more excited than the kids, takes us back to the parties we threw them when they were little.

Anyhoo! enough of my waffle, I've made a card using one of the very cute Pollycraft images that have just been released. Ooh! they are so sweet. :o)
