Hi Everyone
I hope you are all having a great weekend.
Mine has been super busy. Not all work though.. .. we have met up with special friends who live too far away for us to meet up as much as we would like .. .. we have managed a bit of retail therapy too .. .. but of course weekends are always busy where "happy couples" are concerned because that is their "free time". The time when they find my website or have time to come and look at samples or check through proofs that have been sent through .. .. or send me pictures of their happy day. I love looking at wedding photographs so much!
But amongst everything else I found time to play with my snippets whilst hubby watched his team play the first game of their football season. Sadly he doesn't have a season ticket any more but they were on TV today so he got to watch them.
I listened on the radio in my little craft pod whilst making a couple of snippet makes for taking over to Pixie's Crafty Snippet Challenge.
I love making this card .. .. and have made it so many times it is unbelievable. But still I faff about for ages with the colour of the flowers LOL!!!. I end up with loads cut out ready for using another time and the individual stamps are never removed from their acrylic block!!
As always I am lazy on a Sunday and don't list my ingredients but if you need to know anything about my makes then please ask away.
Time now to go and get dinner plated up. It is our first taste of our home grown runner beans today!! Always exciting .. .. but I just know that the next few weeks are going to involve freezing the surplus. Not my favourite job in the world .. .. until it comes to eating them at a later date .. .. then I am pleased I did them.
Enjoy the rest of your weekend everyone and I hope your week is going to hold some good things.
Love

We love this card, too, Jules! It's such a happy garden card and great use of snippets! I put a couple of hearts on my blog for you on 30 July ~ another heart vine and some heart rocks the twinks and I found. I thought maybe I should tell you since you have little time for visiting with the happy wedding work! Your fresh beans sound divine!! xxoo Darnell
They're both fabulous.
