Bright and early today with a showing of the birthday card I made for my lovely Sis (for her BIG birthday yesterday).
Apparently the birthday was the happiest one she has ever had. Bless!
So here is her card:
Sorry the pictures aren't brilliant. You know what it's like. You put the card in the envelope .. .. suddenly realise that you haven't taken a picture .. .. take a load in a rush and keep your fingers crossed they will be OK because you are about to fly out of the house!!! Then you find out later that they are actually a bit rubbish LOL!!!
Anyway, this used:
Backing Papers: First Edition "Boho Chic"
Sentiment: Computer Generated (sorry in my rush I didn't write down the font I used either)
Sizzix Dies: "657186" Sewing Room and "657829" Sewing Edge
Nestabilities: Labels Four
Papermania Punch: Small Daisy
Then everything else was from the old Stash Box
My Sis has been on a week's holiday following the Festival and is back at work today .. .. armed with a mountain of cakes she and her daughters all made together. Apparently they are in for "chocolate overload" in her workplace today. Sounds good to me.
Right, that is me for today.
Time now to shut myself in my little craft pod, switch the radio on, get my head down and get on with my HUGE do list. Today I need miracles!!
Lots of lovely rain at the moment which means I don't have to go and water the vegetables and I won't have to pull the blinds down to shut the sunshine out!! Yep .. .. there is a silver lining to every cloud .. .. even a rain cloud!!! But I am sure the poor people walking their children to school at the moment won't agree :-(
Have a good day everyone.
Love

Hope you have a productive day there in your craft pod Jules. I have the same 'problem' in my craft room in the afternoons ith the sun - but to be honest - it's not been that often has it.
Fabulous card you make for your sister. I hope you get some of cakes too.

I'd rather be looking out at the sunshine from my Craft pod than this awful rain, Jules. I hate the rain, yuk yuk yuk!!!
Didn't even get much done as I knocked a plant over and had to spend ages vacing up all the soil in my tiny room.
I'm glad your Sister had such a special birthday, her card is gorgeous. The photos look great to me too!!
Hugs Lisax
