Just because and oh I am so excited...

Hi all

Thank goodness it has cooled down here in Greater Manchester, it was a lovely sunny day but had a nice fresh wind blowing so it felt quite cool. I prefer it like that really, I am not a sun worshiper, of course I love sunny days but don't handle being hot too well - I can get a bit narkey and ratty LOL - just don't tell my husband I have admitted to that!!!

I made this card as a little thank you for my lovely friend Anita who sent me the most gorgeous ribbon, flowers and charm last week, I can't bring myself to cut the ribbon yet - yes I know I am a saddo LOL but thank you Anita for being soooo lovely and thoughtful!

Another scalloped easel card this time in Anita's favourite colour combination of Teal and Lime. The flowers were free stamps with Craft Stamper magazine which I stamped onto Basic Grey lemonade.





I can't say anything more yet about by exciting news, but I can tell you I am glad I haven't got too long to wait until I reveal all - err not literally you understand as that would send everyone running for the hills LOL!!! I am finding it hard to contain myself as it is... anyone who knows me knows I get a little bit (that should read a LOT) over excited but whoooohoooo can't wait to tell my news LOL!!!

Round easel card

Hi all

This was one of those really simple cards to make, the thing that took the time was cutting round the stamped flowers and sewing on those blooming buttons!

This is the first time for me entering a challenge over on The Play Date Cafe there is an amazing photo inspiration and the challenge is to follow the colours in the image:



How gorgeous is that photo? I just love it!!



I used my petite scallop nesties, papers are Basic Grey Lemonade, K & Co Bailey and core'dinations. The "spikey" flower stamp was a freebie with Craft Stamper magazine and the sketch flower is by Autumn Leaves. Buttons and ribbon from my stash.

I am entering this into the following challenges:

365 Cards Day 116 - Cut 3 ways (nesties, blade, scissors, punch - I know thats 4 LOL)
Crazy Challenge - All things spotty
Practical Scrappers - Flowers
ABC - xtra dimension
