Buttons & Bows

Demon Dentist!

Good morning, I am at work today as usual and then off to the dentist for a filling for a tooth that's broken :-( :-( :-( I am terrified of the dentist, ever since I had a horrific root canal when I was 22. Please send me some positive vibes x

Onto my DT make, I have made a bright sunny card using a fab Scrapper's Delight image called Flower Basket. I used a wide strip of ribbon across the card and 3 pieces of thinner ribbon stapled to an offcut of kraft card to make a tag for the sentiment. So I've used 3 different ribbon...
