I am an ogre!

Hi all,
Thank you so much for all your birthday wishes.
We had a lovely time at the NEC, although I was shattered at the end.  I got up at 5.45am to get the train and we didn't get back until 10.20pm.  I bought a few dies and nealry bought some spectrum noirs as I think I am the only one who doesn't use alcohol inks to colour in, but I'm still too scared to have a go!
Over at Incy Wincy, we are sponsored by the fab Kenny K, and our theme is girl power.  I have used this fab Kenny K image, because it reminds me of Princess Fiona in Shrek 4 when she becomes a warrior (which is where the title quote comes from).  I have watched all four Shrek films many times as the girls love them.  The papers are a mix of Papermania and Hot off the press.  I think the card looks a bit plain to me, but I didn't want to use flowers to embellish as they don't fit with the image in my opinion.
See you later.

The card looks fab and you're right, flowers wouldn't look right on the card!

You certainly did make a day of it at the NEC Nikky but pleased you enjoyed it. I was shattered by lunchtime, but still managed to good haul.

A lovely card and the ripped edges somehow go very well with the image.
