BEAUTIFUL FUN DAY

Hi Everyone

What a beautiful day .. .. the weather has been brilliant here. I hope it has for you too.

It was so lovely today that most of it has been spent outdoors cleaning my car, the windows and the paintwork. (I am trying really hard not to think about the bits I saw that could do with a "lick of paint or varnish" LOL!!!).

The greenhouse had a token clean out and the lawns had their first cut of the year !!! No holiday for me this year (as far as I know) so this means that I can plant my greenhouse up with goodies that won't wither away whist I am away. Yay!!!

The weather today would do for me for the whole of summer .. .. not too hot .. .. just warm enough not to need sleeves.

But no day would be perfect without a little crafting session and here is my play of the day .. ..

This used:

Image: Judikins 2613H "Harlequin"
Backing Paper: Sorry - this came out of my scrap box - but I need to find it again because I love it alongside this image. I know it has come from a CD because most of my papers do.
ProMarkers
Cord and Buttons from the stash box

The Harlequin stamp is one that I bought from the NEC this time. I have looked at it and stroked it for the past three years and put him back. But I decided that this was the year he could come home with me. Isn't he just gorgeous?

So that is me for today.

Catch you all again soon. I hope you had a wonderful weekend.

Love Jules xx

    Lovely card Jules, like the buttons, had a heck of a job finding the heart, but I think I detect bottom right. Sounds like you've been a busy bee today, very industrious, I hope you've got your feet up with a cuppa now!

    Hi Jules. The weather's been gorgeous hasn't it. So lovely to feel proper warmth again, although you've put me to shame with all your work. I'm afraid I just sat in it with a book and now you mention it my greenhouse could do with a really good tidy up too, oh well there's always next weekend.
    I love your harlequin card, that stamp is really unusual.
    Have a great week.

    Hi Jules

    This is brilliant.

    And I am so glad you posted it because I have been after this Jester for ages but had no idea of the make. I have a great idea for it so it's a must buy.
