Canberra here we come!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Only one week to go and we are off to Canberra. I am traveling up with my good friend Sue, and we will meet the others up there. We have our bags half packed, and our swaps nearly completed.
Sue and I will then travel to Tassie, for a well earned holiday, (we think anyway) No husbands, just the two of us and our credit cards.

I have done a couple of cards in the past week so thought I better show them to you. I cased the idea from splitcoaststampers and changed it a little. Thank you flatfish paper arts.
