Good morning all
Hey .. .. I'm getting into this lovely weather .. .. another day of blue skies and sunshine. We have had a beautiful few days this week and even though we have had glorious sunshine it hasn't been too hot .. .. my idea of summer.
My order came from Paper Mill Direct yesterday .. .. .. thankfully no bad surprises this time .. .. I loved everything that came and when putting it all away I came across the orange card I told you I was disappointed with from my last order.
I decided that I needed to do something with it as it couldn't just sit there for ever .. . so I set myself my own challenge. Make something using the dreaded card (and why not fit it into the Penny Black Challenge at the same time).
There is a sketch to follow this week so the work was already half done for me (thank you ladies .. .. really liked working with this sketch).
Well here is my make:

In the end I decided that the orange card was fine once incorporated with my backing papers. Oh well .. .. .. that is one sheet down (but I dread to think how many more there are to go at. Perhaps my next challenge should be orange Christmas cards this year.. .. .. LOL!!!).
The only problem I was left with was in photographing my creation .. .. the camera definitely didn't like working with orange. How many photographs in how many different places has it taken to get this half decent one? I dread to think.
Right then, off to water my garden tubs and baskets before I hit my craft pod.
Have a good day everyone.
Thank you for calling by and I'll see you again tomorrow.
Love Jules xx

Well I think it looks absolutely gorgeous hun....I love that orange its sooooooo summery

I love this card Jules and the colour is great for summer.This is a great layout, i may use it today as my mojo just isn't working at the moment.Photos are funny, you can photo 6 cards all in the same position and end up with one that look as good as the others. i find reds and oranges hard to get right anyway.Good luck with the challenge. Di.

Great Sketch and a fab card Jules. I have a camera like yours, hates orange and it doesn't like blues and greens either.......... Annette x
gorgeous card jules, i love the colour orange so this is just perfect in my eyes :) your image is fab and i love your papers and layout.luv coops.xx
Your orange card works beautifully, Jules. This is a really lovely card. I'm glad someone else struggles with photos. I take them outside and they look washed out, I bring them in and they look dull, dozens of photos later I get one I like!! I'm glad I'm in good company.
This weather is fabulous isn't it. I hope it stays with us. The garden is looking gorgeous under the blue skies, despite all the watering there is to do!!
Have a good one.
Hugs Lisax

Lovely card, PB's go with anything don't they? I love to make cards in more autumn hues, your orange card would be great for that, there's always Halloween of course!
