Spend Spend Spend!

Good morning everyone and a special welcome to my new followers.
Another Friday is upon us.
My some of you have been quite busy. I have been trying to catch up on commenting and found some of you efficient crafters have posted a card nearly every day. I only seem to find the time at the mo to do maybe a couple, I just don't know where the time goes.
 
I have been having a spend on ebay this week. It's  been a while since I've had a look and got a bit carried away. I've bought quite a few Marianne dies (Annie's fault, her work using these dies is awesome)  and some stamps that have worked out cheaper than the shop so I'm chuffed.
Telling the hubby as each parcel arrives that I'm spending my ' birthday money'  (for about the tenth time.. hee hee)  Oh well nearly Christmas!
 
Well as it's Friday there's another new challenge over at Totally Papercrafts.
This week it's the turn of the lovely Lisa to host and her chosen theme is
 
CAS - Black and White
your card should have a clean and simple (CAS) design, The colour scheme should primarily be black and white but an accent colour ( in your image or on your embellishment) is fine.
 
This weeks fab sponsor is
 
Meljens Designs
 
 
And here is mine. Now those of you who know my stuff will know how hard it is for me to not throw everthing at my cards so I had to smack myself on the knuckle a few times, and it still looks to me a little crowded perhaps, sorry Lisa.
 
To be fair I enjoyed putting this together and I quite like the end result and it didn't take all night so me thinks I'll be making a few more to send out using  different colours and embellies, maybe I'll add some glitter, oh and a gem or two.... thanks Lisa you've cracked the rest of my crimble cards!
