Pots of Love...

A wee quickie before bed tonight!! I wanted to enter this weeks challenge at The Ribbon Girl as I found these Tim Holtz ribbon s and flowers in my stash and really wanted to use them so thought they were perfect for the challenge.

We were out earlier for dinner as it's Michael's birthday on Sunday...my boy will be 21!!  He has plans all weekend so we had to book a slot with him tonight as his plans don't include mum, dad and sister!!  Although they will when he runs out of cash!!

For my card I have used Pots of Love from LOTV which I coloured with copics, the papers are from MME - Howdy Doody which I layered onto kraft card.  The ribbon and flowers are from TH...they are really pretty IRL!!
