Boy what a few weeks it has been. Some months back hubby and I commenced the process of becoming Foster Carers and about a fortnight ago we were asked to consider taking in a young boy who needed to find a new carer. The only thing was we hadn't completed our final assessment which wasn't due to be done until later this month. So things you could say got a bit crazy around here. In the past two weeks we have completed 10 hours of the final interview process/assessment, met with A, sorted rooms out, had a huge clean out, brought new furniture, linen etc all in preparation for A's arrival for a few days respite so that we could all see if we would be happy to be living with one another permanently. Hence why I have been a bit slack on the commenting front lately. It's been a very exciting and scary time for us but I am pleased to report so far so good!
Anyway back to the main reason for my post!
The new sketch is up over at Sketches with A Twist for November so be sure to pop over and check out all the wonderful scrapping inspiration the rest of the DT have provided for you, they are all beautiful and so very different.
And here is my card, my papers are from the K & Company Citronella Collection and Stamps are from Unity Stamp Co. I have used a Yellow Gelato Pen from Faber Castell and some orange ink to ink the edges and also color over the embossed heart which is in the background. A punched star, two ribbons layered together and some Crystallina Kindy Glitz embellish to finish this off.
Thanks for looking and I do hope you will take up the challenge and play along with us this month.

Lovely card Danie.....and good luck with your other news...hope everything goes well for you all xx
I like the sunny yellow colors of this layout. PS. you might want to change your commenting set up so comments open in a new window. It makes it easier for people (aka me! haha) to spend more time on your blog...without being direct away from the posts. Hope that made sense!
