THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH

Hi Everyone

I hope you have had a lovely Monday.  Our weather has been gorgeous today.  So lovely to be able to have the windows open and smell those freshly cut lawns.

A little late tonight as we have been to the dentist for a check up this evening.  I can remember the days when I used to dread going for fear of what they might want to do .. .. now I just worry about how much it will cost "if they do" want to do something!!!!  Thankfully I got away with just a clean and polish .. .. phew!! That means I can save my pennies for the car service, MOT and tax that are all due later this month!!  Boo hoo!!!!

Here is my share for today .. using one of my favourite Penny Black images.  Great for so many occasions.




This used:

Image:  Penny Black "3347H" Duckling
Sentiment:  Computer Generated using font "Zipty Do"
Backing Papers:  Pink Petticoat "Pinstripes"
Nestabilities:  Classic Circle and Scalloped Circle
Josy Rose:  Nail Heads
ProMarkers
Ribbon from my stash box

 I thought you might like to see a few pictures I took in my garden this morning .. ..

Here are those four tomatoes I was telling you about yesterday

A burst of colour from my chives .. .. might make this my computer wallpaper for a while.
I just love the colours.

But the best colour was the clear bright blue sky
we were treated to this morning.
How gorgeous is this .. .. not a cloud in the sky!!

Of course there are still weeds to battle with and messy parts to see in my garden .. .. but at least there are some pretty parts to see.

Catch you soon!!

Love

    Gorgeous card, Jules. I am pleased you managed to enjoy a few moments in the garden too. Chive flowers are so pretty, aren't they? shame the scent isn't a bit more flowery! Your tomatoes are looking great, and I love the blue sky too

    Love that pink and white stripe paper with the yellow in the sweet duck! And baby tomatoes are looking good. That's one of my favorite things about summer is tomatoes! The chives are beautiful. My mother had some in her garden. I'd forgotten about them until I saw this picture. I love it when something triggers a good memory! Thanks, Jules.

    Hi Jules, the colour of that sky is wonderful, and I always think how lovely chive flowers look. Well done with the tomatoes, bet they taste glorious, better than shop bought ones.

    I love your card, a sweet little image, he makes me smile, dentist for me this morning, Kate x

    Hi Jules, There look like 5 tomatoes there, I love the colour of chive flowers as well - that sky looks like a colour swatch and we had one of those yesterday as well wasn't it lovely to see. I can't bring myself to use the ribbon yet - too pretty!! Have a lovely day, we are expecting more of the yellow and blue stuff. Pauline xx

    Who'd have thought that that a plain blue image would look so good. Your chives are well ahead of mine - but they are in a spot that doesn't get the sun till late in the day.
    Super card - I do love that image too.

    Absolutely PERFECT card Jules.

    My chives look just like yours . . . I planted a clump in the front garden just for decorative purposes as they are SO pretty. I only USE the back garden ones though!

    Thanks for the blue sky picture too.

    Hugs

    Aww I can see why you love this image Jules… it's very sweet! and yes it would be perfect for many occasions… I love the stripey paper and the pretty bow and nailheads are perfect embellies! :-)
    Ooh I know what you mean about the dentist… and I nearly always need a filling!! but even a scale and polish is expensive…. and after paying out…I always think of all the crafting stuff I could have bought with that money!!! LOL
    I love your photos…those chive flowers are very pretty and yes it's lovely to have some blue sky! :-)
    Hope you're having a good week!
    Love Sue xx

    Such an adorable card with that fantastic stripey paper background for showcasing the sweet duck in a circle. Another design delight, Jules!

    And thank you for sharing your brilliant blue sky (now that's appreciation!), your toms, and the sensational colors of the chive! That photo definitely needs to be your wallpaper!

    Good luck with the wedding doings!! xxoo Darnell
