Peter Rabbit!

This card has been made because whilst I was talking on the phone to Hazel (didos) about stuff we buy & don't use!! Yes I'm sure we are all guilty of that with this hobby!!! lol.....I went to the NEC last March & got the set of Crafter's Companion Peter Rabbit stamps & since then I have only used them once!!! Well my gorgeous hubby overheard our conversation (must remember to talk about crafty stuff when he's at work!!) & told me no more stash until I start using what I've got!!! Well I can't really complain as I don't work or claim a penny, so all my stash is paid for by him!!!! So when he gets home this cute little card will be put somewhere so he can see it!!! I just hope using this one stamp changes his mind, because I really want the new Gorjuss Girl stamps, well at least a couple of them!!!

Also some fab news I found out today my Sick Henry card that was ment to be C&S, has made me a winner over at Tuesday Trio
