Hi Everyone
What a great day .. .. I hope it has been a happy one for everyone.
Hubby has been toasting himself outside helping to put up some new fencing .. .. .. what do they say "Only mad dogs and Englishmen"?
So whilst he was occupied I did my DT work ready for the next Funky Hand - Get Funky! challenge (still time to enter this month if you haven't done so already) - and then I made this tiny little creation.
I quite like doing "tiny" .. .. not that it is filled with any less love!!
This little creation is only 3" by 4.5" and is so cute .. .. nearly don't want to give it away .. but I will!!

This used:
Backing paper: A little pack of mixed papers from Hobbycraft (yonks old)
Image: Hero Arts "CL375" Big Flowers Pattern
Fiskars Punch: Threading Water
ProMarkers
Ribbon and peel off from the stash box
The ribbon has a thread through it that draws it up into this gorgeous flower and you just tie the ends together.
This little creation is an acceptance card for delivering to our friends. They will soon have been married 40 years and have invited hubby and I to celebrate with them.
I first met the lady of this couple when I started my first job after leaving school.
It was working for the local brewery in their Engineers Dept and I can remember as clear as day being introduced to everyone who worked in all of the offices. I was taken into Sue's office (which she shared with another lady).
Once I had left their office I asked the person showing me round how old these ladies were and was told about 24.
Sue and her friend were the secretaries and were doing exactly what I aspired to do but I was gutted to think I would have to be "that old" before I would be able to do what I really wanted to do. She was a whole 6 years older than me and 24 seemed ancient. LOL!!!
Oh to be 24 again!! (But knowing what I know now of course).
Now she doesn't seem any older than I am .. .. how lovely to still be friends with someone I met all those years ago.
But tonight I am sharing my evening with a friend I have had even longer .. .. we went to school together and we met at infants school .. .. she is my oldest friend (but in terms of how long I have known her). Chinese meal for us tonight!! Yummy.
Right better go and get ready before I am in bad books with my hubby.
Have a good evening everyone and thank you for calling by.
Love Jules xx

I hope you have a lovely evening Jules. I have a date with the iron and a stack of ironing! I told myself I could craft during the day while it was so hot as long as I ironed in the evening when it is cooler. It's now nearly 9 pm and not much cooler but a promise is a promise, Lol!
I can see why you'd want to keep this gorgeous little card. It's really lovely and the colours are very classy. You've reminded me I have some of those pretty sparkly edgings. I must get them out as they finish the card off beautifully.
Hugs
Lesley Xx

This is fab Jules, am sure they will love it. Annette x
It's another stunner Jules. I love the ribbon and the scalloped edging.
I hope you have a really lovely evening with your friend. It's funny how we keep the friends we make at infants school isn't it. My best friend is one I've know for as long. We always say they are easy friendships, because you've known each other so long it doesn't matter if you don't speak, e-mail etc for weeks 'cos you just pick up where you left off.
Hugs Lisax
