A SPECIAL CARD FOR MY HUBBY PLUS AN AWARD

Hi Everyone

I have had a brilliant day today - I managed to get a card order finished and posted off.

I then decided that I would make my hubby a special card to show him how much he means to me - and to thank him for never getting cross with me.

We spent all of Saturday morning trying to re-arrange the holiday he booked on Friday. We managed it "eventually" - which now means I will still be able to do the festival in Melbourne. This is a two day event and one where last year my cards were really popular. I met some lovely people last year and didn't want to miss it this year! I had a fantastic time.

So this is the card I made especially for my lovely hubby

To make this card I used:

Image: Hero Arts S 5161 "Country Hearts
Sentiment: Computer generated
Promarkers
Inkssentials: Glossy Accents and Crackle Accents
Crystal Stickles
Sticky Gems

I tried hard to make all the hearts different and decorated them with different things - hence the Inkssentials.

This was the first time that I had used the Crackle Accents. I thought that the effect might have been a bit more "defined" than it was - but if it "crackles" further I will take another picture for you to see. It could be that I am just being impatient as usual (I get that from my Mum).

Yes, patience is a virtue - this morning the "crackle" was much more defined
(so I have added another photo - in fact I replaced the main photo too as it was much brighter this morning. As I took my picture last night there were great thunder clouds darkening the sky .. .. .. not very good for taking pictures really)

I love the Hero Art stamp. (I can't imagine why). It was in the sale at The Glitter Pot and I "just had to have it". But when it came it was huge .. .. .. as you can tell. I didn't realise I was getting this much for my money!!!! Yay!!!

So my three days in the office start tomorrow. It feels like ages since I was there last .. .. even though it is only four days! I am going to miss my craft room more than ever tomorrow!

Today I have also received a blog award from Little Bear - thank you Clare. As recipient of this award I have to list 10 honest things about myself. Oh dear .. .. I am going to have to work on this one Clare - my list reached at least 20 in next to no time. I need to thin it down. LOL!!!

Take care everyone. I hope it hasn't been too difficult for you to find the heart tonight. LOL!!!

Catch you again soon.

Love Jules xx
