Good morning everyone
A quick share today to let you see a card I have put together this morning ahead of heading off into the big world! Lots to do tonight so I know I won't get chance later.
My creation uses a gorgeous image that made me daydream about the beautiful lazy summer days that are hopefully going to be ours this year.
It was really weird when I came to take the photograph though .. .. .. the rear of the house is bathed in glorious sunshine but the front of the house looks like it could rain any minute!!! I hope the weather at the rear of the house wins for the day.
Taking the photograph also made me wonder whether I might manage to take any pictures of my cards outdoors this year. I always think that cards look so gorgeous in an outdoor setting but whenever the weather seems bright enough there always seems to be a breeze and I can just imagine my card toppling over every few seconds and me trying to get a quick shot in before the next breeze makes an appearance .. .. .. or chasing it up the garden LOL!!
Anyway .. .. here is my make of the morning

I know what you mean by the 'half and half' Jules. It was the same here about 1.5 hours ago but unfortunately the clouds have won. It hasn't rained yet though!
ReplyDeleteI shall look on your lovely card for my dose of sunshine today. It's lovely!

I really love this, it's not overpowered by lots of embellies, but still enough pretties to look at. Gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteHappy crafting

It's certainly been beautiful weather hasn't it, a real touch of Summer although the forecast doesn't look good for the weekend, how typical is that!! Your weekend away sounds wonderful, you deserve to be spoilt.
ReplyDeleteI love your cards as always, so bright and beautiful. It's a real treat to see what you have created.
Hope work has gone well.
Hugs

so pretty! I love it!
ReplyDeleteYou have been busy. It's been a bit manic this end too, I thought it would be a good idea to volunteer my services for Amanda's wedding, and although I now know pretty much exactly what I am doing and have most of the stuff ready to go, actually getting them made seems a bit daunting!
ReplyDeleteOn the plus side only 7 more sleeps 'till I can play with my new toys :)
Hope all is well with you.
