Hi Everyone
I hope you are having a lovely weekend.
Today has been much cooler here and we have even had a touch of the "wet stuff" .. .. but we still managed a much needed session in the garden pulling up some of those dreaded weeds that are daring to show themselves!
I also had chance to have a little play with my snippets whilst waiting for the final instructions from a "happy couple" to "stick their table plan down".
This is what I came up with:
As usual I am lazy and don't list my ingredients on a Sunday .. .. but I will tell you that the papers were some I had left over after doing the cover gift commission for Quick Cards Made Easy this month. These papers are just part of a fabby free gift this month and I love them!
I was also a super lucky girl and received a treat from my hubby this weekend. Was it a new car? Was it a diamond ring or a huge bouquet of flowers?
No.. .. .. .. it was a new waste paper bin for my craft room .. .. and I love it as much as I would any of the above .. .. and here it is
Isn't it super lovely? Just perfect for my little craft pod. It is almost a shame to hide it under my desk LOL!!
Ooops .. . in my rush I forgot to mention that I am running over to Pixie's Crafty Snippet Challenge to share my make. Hopefully I won't be put straight into detention because I missed last week :-( bad girl!

Have a great rest of the day and a good week everyone.

It's been much cooler here too, Jules, such a relief to be able to sleep above everything isn't it!!! I too had a really good session in the garden, it's was beginning to turn into a jungle. Order has been restored though.
ReplyDeleteYour card is beautiful, I love that colour combo.
Hope you have managed to enjoy the gorgeous weather in between your wedding work.
Hugs Lisax
Hi Jules,
ReplyDeleteWOW! What a really beautiful card. I love the colours, style and the layout.
Your bin looks fab! I bet you don't have to empty it very often with all those snippets you keep!
My Glossy Accents is very runny in this heat. LOL!
Hope you have a lovely day. xx
Beautiful card, as ever and a lovely new bin for you too! Brilliant xxx
ReplyDeleteI'll have to check out this months magazine, as those papers look fabby, great card too and what a sweet hubby you have too, luv Sam x
ReplyDeleteI'm so jealous, Jules! That is one adorable waste basket and, of course, nothing could be more heartfully perfect for your craft area!! You have a special guy there!
ReplyDeleteYour card is mesmerizing, as always, and a brilliant use of snippets! The soft toasty colors are divine!!
(It's weird that you came by when you did as I had just thought about you not an hour before and thought about how long since I've been by to see you. Haven't we done that sort of ESP thing before? Spooky, but in a good way! Glad to hear the wedding business is still going strong!)
