Hi Everyone
Here early today .. .. with a card it has taken me two days to make LOL!!
Just not enough hours in the day, or days in the week for me to get on top of my general makes .. .. .. the House of Hearts is definitely in "Wedding Mode" big time.
This week has seen me meeting up with more new "happy couples" and saying "bye for now" to others :-(
I also had a birthday on Tuesday which of course needed celebrating!
Anyway, here is my share for today which uses up some of those cream card snippets that are increasing at a fair rate of knots. I think I now have more cream snippets than white ones and that is saying something.
This used:
Image: Hero Arts "S5316" Silhouette Grass
Sentiment: Penny Black "3849E" Birthday Dreams
Background made with Tea Die Distress Ink stippled firstly through a Deckled Edge Nestabilities Rectangle cut into a piece of scrap paper and then through some sequin waste.
Script Stamp: "32531" Elusive Script Background (stamped again through the Deckled Edge Rectangle moved to the right.
Stampendous Embossing Powder (my own accidental mix of pirate gold and silver but I love it!!)
Josy Rose: Nail Heads
X-Cut Butterfly Punch
Pearls, ribbon cord and bead from my stash box
So there we go. I managed a share yay!!!
I do miss it when I don't get chance to post or visit your lovely blogs .. .. but I will hopefully be able to have a good catch up with everyone over the Easter break.
But for today I have lots to do .. .. part of which involves making my lovely hubby a wedding anniversary card for tomorrow. Thankfully I have an idea in my head .. .. I just have to hope it turns out how I am imagining it. But whatever I make him I will let you see that tomorrow.
I was asked how many years we will have been married .. .. well we are up to 38 lovely years this year .. .. and it feels like 8!! Where have those other 30 gone?!?!!? My life is flying by far too quickly :-(
Have a lovely day today everyone. We actually have a little sunshine trying to peep through so with a bit of luck the snow might disappear today.
See you tomorrow
Love

Happy Anniversary for tomorrow Jules - 38 years??? You only get 10 for murder....LOL! Congratulations to both of you and will raise a glass (or 3) to the next 38!
Fab card - another stamp I will HAVE to own......
That's really beautiful Jules - works so well on cream rather than white too. You've reminded me that I have that sentiment stamp somewhere and how lovely it is - must use my wood mount stamps more!
Have a great Easter weekend.

Hi Jules, some sunshine here too - and the temperature has crept up a few degrees above freezing - reasons to celebrate :) And you have even more reasons to celebrate - a birthday and your wedding anniversary ... 38 years and still so happy - what's your secret?
Love the card too - I like your inking on the background and that lovely grass stamp is just gorgeous.
Just in case you don't make it back to blogland for a few days, have a lovely day tomorrow and an enjoyable Easter weekend.
Hugs, Elizabeth xx
This is stunning Jules, I love the brown and cream contrast and gorgeous silhouette image and your sentiment is so unusual - I love it.
