MARSHMALLOW

Hi Everyone

Well today has been beautiful here weather wise .. .. I have even managed to dry some washing outside and it smells gorgeous!!  (The down side being I have now put clothes into what was an empty ironing basket .. .. boo hoo!!).

I was hoping to have taken part in Sandra's Rudolph Day Challenge this week .. .. but sadly time just hasn't allowed it. Sorry Sandra :-(   

Even this morning I was hopeful I might manage a last minute appearance but like every other day in the House of Hearts I expect far too much of myself.  The day has flown by on Mother's Day makes, orders and wedding work.  We also have another wedding fayre happening on Sunday and I still want to do some new samples for that too.  

So somehow with everything else that is going on Christmas just had to wait .. .. and I consoled myself with the thought that there are still 300 sleeps to go until the special day .. . well that is the number according to the fabby little calculator here.  I don't know about you but I always count things in "sleeps" LOL!!!

Currently Mothering Sunday makes have to be high on my list at the moment (10 sleeps) so here is one of my Mothering Sunday creations:




This used:

Sentiment:  Pink Petticoat "Lovely Mum Sentiments"
Backing Papers:  Pink Petticoat "Marshmallow Paper Pack" (New this week and offer until Sunday)
Josy Rose:  Nail Heads
My Trust Sewing Machine
Diamond Stickles (though you probably can't see it)
Ribbons from my stash box

So there we go with my share for today.  There shouldn't be any problems with the heart tonight .. .. but it would appear that a few of you struggled last night .. .. but I do think I have been being just a tad too kind recently LOL!!!

Anyway, there were lots of hearts would you believe .. .. and here are just a few of them on the top of some of the cupcakes.


Easy when you know where!

Have a lovely evening everyone.

Love

    Yikes - I didn't realise Mother's Day was so blooming early - better get my finger out too. I love the one you've made here - so soft and pretty. Nice obvious hearts too!

    Hi Jules- hang on while I put my magnifying glass down!! Those microscopic hearts tee hee!!

    BEAUTIFUL card as always- that should be the name of your blog 'always beautiful' or 'micro hearts'!!

    I have treated myself to those scrummy marshmallow papers - Mmmm!
    & no calories.

    One last thing - where did you get your magic stickle applicator? xx

    Beautiful Jules - I am amazed you can make the time to show us your creations - you pack so much into your day and I love to come and see what you have been up to.
    Obviously I waste far to much of my precious time and should be more organised!! tfs

    Stunning card Jules, I had managed to resist these papers until now!
    I must admit I did struggle a bit finding the hearts on yesterdays card but Laurence found them - he always finds Wally first as well.
