Cute lil' bear & some happy (very happy) post

Good morning. Hope everyone is ok and looking forward to the weekend. I have a very busy one ahead, not sure if I'll fit it all in. Hubby is taking me to the Ross Papercraft show this morning, then we are both off to the opticians. After that we are off to choose some paint for my craftroom,  :o)  I fancy a lilac, but might change my mind once I get there lol! Looking forward to prettying my happy place up but having everything upside down for a bit will get on my nerves, no pain no gain eh? Tommorrow morning we're off to a model car show, Wayne collects them, it's a bit like our crafty addiction, he has loads!

Anyhoo! I have a card to show you made using a Digistamp Boutique Image. I LOVE these lil' cuties.
