Happy Spring!

Hi Everyone

I hope you have all enjoyed the first day of Spring! It has been a beautiful day here in Staffordshire - and yet it still ended up being dark by the time I got to taking a photo!! Hopefully my pictures will look a bit better once I get to taking them in the light.

I don't know about everyone else but I am missing my hour.

Life has been very busy and hectic the last few days and I am ashamed to say that I have only just had the opportunity to have my first play with my Cricut. (Though I have read the manuals a few times). This evening I decided to use it to create my card for the Penny Black Saturday Challenge.

This week's theme for the challenge was "Think Spring" and here is what I have created. A little on the bright side for me really but definitely "Springy" I think.

To make this card I used:

Image: Penny Black "Sunshine Hedge!"
Background paper: Pink Petticoat
Flowers and lettering: Cricut
Scalloped Square from "Go Kreate"
ProMarker Pens
Ribbon and brads from the stash box and the ever faithful Diamond Stickles.


I was hoping to have got lots of crafting done over the last few days but instead have been being a little social bod - which doesn't hurt once in a while!! This is what comes of having birthdays and wedding anniversaries to celebrate.

Hopefully tomorrow I can be a blog social bod as I have lots of blog visiting I want to do.

See you soon.

Love Jules xx
