Anyhoo i best stop waffling before you fall asleep, you should just shout at me and say

"hey will you get on with the card girly!!"

Tonight's card has had the edges distressed, faux stitching in a couple of places and is made using one of the  gorgeous NEW Sugar Nellie Home Grown Stamps called Little Farmer, this is for all the typical little boys who love to play on their tractors and getting muddy lol you can buy this stamp from Funky Kits......right I'll show you the card and see what you think...

I think something is missing of this card but not sure what.....what do you think???
