LOTV - Lets play bingo

Good morning everyone,

 Last day of term today, they had a film club at school last night, which was lovely as the kids went back in the evening to watch Rango, it was such a good idea, it's all free ~ even popcorn and a drink

so now Mac's looking forward to a week off.

Darren is also having the week off, 

so it'll be great as he didn't have any time in the summer hols ~ due to harvesting!

xXx

This week at Lili of the valley it's the A Teams turn

and the theme is 

BINGO

This has to be one of my favourite challenges as there are so many options and combinations!

 

 

 Well...  Me being me I had to include distressing somewhere so I have chosen the middle line down

Distressing, Flowers and Paper-piecing for the bath.

I used this combination to make Darren's anniversary card which was a couple of weeks ago.

Even though it had flowers I didn't want it to be too feminine.

I have used:

LOTV ~ Love bubble bath

Magnolia ~ 6x6 papers

Nestabilities ~ Labels 16 and butterfly

Marianne ~ English rose

Tim Holtz ~ DIs and stickles

Flat-back pearls
