Purple Tilda

Afternoon all and a happy Friday to you :-)

Well, the mouth finally looks like it may be getting better, yippee :-) I went to the doctors today and he has doubled my dose of penicillin but told me off for going to the doctors and not the dentist (he wasnt my normal doctor). But as I explained to him, I don't have toothache. He said that if you need root canal treatment, you dont always get toothache. Does anyone know if thats right ? I just dont want to pay money for the dentist when I dont have to. Anyway, enough of my ailments, back to the card. This is made with Adorn it 'heart' paper, Love Elsie 'key' paper, Sitting Tilda, Magnolia Celebration Glasses, flowers from stash, Nestabilities, Just Rite sentiment stamp and Martha Stewart border punch. I'm going to enter this into just one challenge, Sweet Sketch Wednesday. I followed their number 49 sketch.
