LAST TWO RUBY ANNIVERSARY CARDS

Good morning everyone

Lots of you were keen to see my last two Ruby Anniversary cards before I deliver them.

I need to head off out into the big world soon so it has been a "once only" photo opportunity.

The pictures haven't turned out too badly .. .. the sun is in a strange place at the moment and was trying its best to spoil my pictures!! But I will forgive Mr Sunshine because it is just so lovely to see him .. .. I missed him yesterday. LOL!!!

Just look at that lovely blue sky in the background .. .. I hope it stays for the whole day!!

So here are my two creations:

The first is for a young boy to give to his Uncle and Auntie so it needed to be a little simpler

This used:

Image: Penny Black "3338J" Long Kiss!
Backing Paper: Pink Petticoat
Sentiment: Computer Generated
ProMarkers
Glossy Accents
Diamond Stickles
Ribbon and cord from the stash box
Love this little Penny Black image. I use it so much.


Next is one for grown ups to give


and close up



This used:

Image: Anitas
Backing Papers: Papermania "Exquisite"
Sentiment: Computer Generated
Martha Stewart Punch: Traditional Scallop
Josy Rose: Nail Heads
Gold embossing powder
Flowers, ribbons and cord from the stash box


So after a "lazy" share yesterday I have hopefully made amends today! LOL!!

I am looking forward to a Bank Holiday weekend. Not that I will be doing anything any different to what I normally do .. .. they just feel special don't they?

I am busy preparing for the Melbourne Festival which will take place on the 18th and 19th September.

Lots of ideas in my head of things I want to take with me so lots of hard work scheduled. How big a "must do" list have I got!!!

The Festival takes place over two days and each year the weather has been lovely .. .. this will be my fourth year. I look forward to these two days all year as they are very special and I really enjoy them.

If you are heading off for a holiday over this weekend break then I hope you manage to avoid all the Bank Holiday traffic and have a safe journey.

For those of us staying at home .. .. .. you have a good time too and I hope you have time for a little crafting.

See you tomorrow.

Love Jules xx
