Hi Everyone
Happy Saturday to you all!!
My crafting session has started a little late today .. .. but hubby is at football so no excuse now!
At the moment his team are winning 2 - 1 (I always listen to the match on the radio). Let's hope it stays this way and he will be coming home a happy bunny.
There is a sale over at Funky Hand this Bank Holiday weekend with 20% off everything so I thought I would use some of Anice's gorgeous papers on my creation today to give you a little taster of what is on offer. If you want to see the other crafty stash that is in the sale you can see it all here.
The paper I have used is one of my favourites as it has a "smokey/blurred" feel to it - which works really well sometimes when you don't want your background to detract from your image.
So my first creation whilst hubby has been away looks like this

Edited following comments received ... ... the backing paper was printed onto plain "bog standard" card. It is the design itself that makes it look as though it is sparkles - that is why it is one of my favourites from Funky Hand - plus you can print it in lots of different colours!!
This used

I am also the proud recipient of a blog award from my craft buddy Shell from The Camels Hump - thank you Shell for thinking of me. If you get chance to pay Shell a visit that would be nice as she is one of the friendliest people you will find in blogland.

How nice to think Shell thinks I am a beautiful blogger .. .. I have definitely been called worse in my lifetime. LOL!!!
Of course there are always rules attached to receiving these awards. The first is to share with you seven facts about myself .. .. and the second is to pass the award on to seven of my fellow bloggers.
My seven facts
1. I have an older brother and a younger sister .. .. so I am a "middle kid"
2. I hate egg white and only ever eat the yolk
3. I could whistle before I could talk
4. I have never driven on a motorway
5. The only place I can take a decent photograph of my creations is in the bathroom .. .. with me sitting on the loo!!
6. My favourite colour changes daily - today it is purple!
7. I never pass on blog awards (sorry Shell) but if anyone would like to take this from my blog I would be really pleased.
It has taken me so long to write this post that the match has now finished and the final score was 2 - 2.
Hope everyone is having a good weekend. Off now to do a bit more before the football hooligan returns LOL!!!
Catch you again soon
Love Jules xx

Lovely papers Jules, lovely plummy shades, can tell you're getting ready for autumn!
Hope you manage to control the footie hooligan!!

This is simply stunning, I love the gems on your image, and the colours are beautiful. I hate the yolk and only eat the white of an egg.xxx
Hi Jules, I think this is absolutely gorgeous, I love it especially close up.
How strange I thought I was reading facts about myself, no 1 3 4 6 7 all apply to me too, as for egg white I cant stand the stuff.
