I chose to use Jane of Coosty Creations beautiful 'Dream Sentiments' and you can find it here. I am a real sucker for beautiful words and these just cried out to be used. I've used two of the sentiments but the main one by Walt Disney as my focal point. I changed the colour of the type to a deep blue. I've used a Spellbinders Decorative Labels Eight as my base in blue. I've die cut the sentiment in white with  Memory Box Debutant Frame and topped it with the Memory Box Vaudeville Frame in blue. I've trimmed the frame with  Memory Box Lavish Branch and a Cherry Blossom flower and another die a little smaller bought from Tams. The cameo came in a packet of goodies from a lovely lady on Facebook. The little flourish underneath the cameo was in with lots of dies that I bought from a lovely lady called Tams way up there in bonny Scotland.  Please check out her smashing blog, Droplets in a Rusty Bucket.  I enjoyed your recent Craft Clearout, Tams!

My teamie, Nataliya. chose the image this week and her choice was 'Friends Forever' by Delicious Doodles.

I've used a lovely piece of background paper from way back when and ribbon and a slider that I've had forever, coloured with Promarkers with about 6 different colours for her hair and the horses mane. Mounted simply and a self generated sentiment.

Not a good light for the photo as her hair doesn't looked that washed out in real life. Roll on, Summer

I created my card this week for a particular couple. My next door neighbours of 13 years have moved to Ireland and are hoping to open a B&B over there. Good Luck, Sue and Terry.

I chose a design by Reece's Scrap Pieces called 'Going Up' it reminded me very much how their former home had been decorated in the past.  Included in the images was a pre-coloured one that I have used. There are quite a few pre-coloured images in the store and these make for a very quick card, there's always time later to colour the image in your own colours. I've kept it simple with some lovely spotty paper and a Memory Box die cut. A self generated sentiment punched out with a couple of Stampin' Up punches.

I'd like to enter this card into the following challenges:
