Phoenix Inspirations

Today is a very special day for me. Five years ago I set up The Male Room - a challenge blog strictly for male orientated cards. Sadly though I had to give it up a while ago as I was going through some personal problems. But the team did not give up and the challenges still happen every two weeks and they have just gone from strength to strength. Please do go and visit  The Male Room The best thing is though Jane asked me to contribute a card to celebrate the five year anniversary - I couldn't say no could I?

Do you remember me saying that I was having problems with my laptop? Well I think I have solved the problem - I now have a keyboard for my tablet, and I managed to set it up myself!

It's daffodils - take a look I used the very beautiful You're Inspiring stamp set and coloured it using the markers. Looking forward to using this set next year for Easter and Mother's Day - in fact it would also be handy for any occasion during spring - I can't wait! Hope you like my card today - please do leave a comment to let me know you've visited - thanks for stopping by - see you soon - J xx
