Hi Everyone
I hope you have had a good day.
Mine has been a very enjoyable one and included seeing one of my "lovely couples" this afternoon followed by a Christmas shopping session .. .. and I have made major in-roads!! Woo hoo!!!
The shopping was great fun because this year we have agreed major cutbacks which has resulted in some presents being capped at £5 or even £1 !!!!!! It was far more enjoyable shopping with a £5 budget .. than if I could have spent whatever I wanted. The presents were certainly far more imaginative that's for sure.
So shopping over and everything unpacked I just had time to make a card to send to my Auntie and Uncle to say "thank you" for our lovely meal last night.
It was as wonderful as I had hoped it would be (except there was no snow). The evening flew by far too quickly .. .. but I knew it would .. .. special nights always do.
So here is my share for today:
This used:
Sentiment: Pink Petticoat
Josy Rose: Nail Heads
Self adhesive gems
Ribbon and Cord from the Stash Box
Snowflakes from the snowflake box .. .. .. yes I have a box that is just full of different kinds of snowflakes LOL!!!
A super quick and simple make .. .. but one that is jam packed full of love and thanks.
So that is me for today.
Time now for a late evening meal and a catch up with X-Factor.
I will be back tomorrow with my snippet makes (which I know are going to use up very little in the way of snippets .. .. .. but snippet makes they will be nonetheless).
Enjoy what remains of today.
Love
Just gorgeous Jules, that ribbon looks really elegant.Glad you had a lovely meal last night.xxx

ReplyDeleteHi Jules, sorry I've not popped in this week. I've had Jenna and Izzy to stay all week and we've had two false alarms for the birth of our new family member, lol! It looks as though he's changed his mind for now and is staying where it's warm, ;).
ReplyDeleteI love this card! It's so elegant and crisp in design and the sentiment is lovely.

WOW! Jules this is simply stunning, I love the richness of the ribbon. I love all of your cards anyway, and always gain some inspiration from you.
ReplyDeleteGood idea with your Christmas pressies, we are all feeling the pinch even here in Cyprus1 My 2 daughters in UK have decided just to buy usual pressies for the children, but have set a limit on spending £5 on each other and their partners. This £5 must also be spent in Poundland!! I am sure they will come up with some really novel pressies.
Take care.
Love Sheila
OMG Jules, this is stunning!!!! I have no words.. it's BEAUTIFUL, so elegant xxx

Another stunning card Jules - love the colours and that bow is amazing as always! Fancy you having a snowflake box - why am I not surprised - but do you keep it in the freezer!? Would your Auntie and Uncle perhaps care to adopt me? Have a lovely day, and well done on the successful shopping expedition. Di xx
