SPOILED ROTTEN!!!

Hello Everyone!!!! I'm sure everyone of you had an awesome day yesterday..... Celebrating the COLORS OF LIFE!!!! Well, I had started on a project after much pushing & motivating self, last night. Half way through felt dead tired & went off to bed, hoping to complete it early morning..... I knew, it would be hard to find time with celebrations around, but was positive that I would.....

Well, It was morning, I did sit to work on it, but had guests come over..... Playing colors, welcoming guests, the day passed..... Somehow managed to complete it finally & thought of even posting the same right away, before I went off to sleep.... Hmmmmmmmm!!!!! That was the sigh of relief...... :D

So here it is.....

On the INSIDE.....

The words was a digi image from Ginger House.... But since it was way too big when printed on paper, I simply penned it myself, to complete the inside with words to go with the theme of my card....... Theme of CELEBRATING MYSELF for ICR...... I am the lucky one, for I have been spoiled by my hubby to the core.... Folks at home yell at him for doing so..... :O

Bookmark (BM).....

I perforated the CS for the BM......
