PURR-FECT MESSAGE

Hi there

What another wonderful day .. .. beautiful sunshine and enough breeze to blow my washing about .. .. perfect (doesn't take much to please me does it?!?!).  Still a bit on the cold side though. 

I toddled off to the post box thinking it would be a nice little stroll in the sunshine .. .. only to rush there and back because it was so cold!!!  I ended up needing to put my thick cardigan on when I got home to warm up again LOL!!!

This is my favourite make of the day





This used:

Image:  Penny Black "40-040" Purr-fect Message
Backing Papers:  Aimee Asher
Sentiment:  Pink Petticoat
Martha Stewart Punch:  Traditional Scallop
Woodware Punch:  Daisy
Leone Em Pty Punch: Ash Branch
ProMarkers
Diamond Stickles
Brad from the Stash Box

I do make other cards during the day that do not involve Penny Black stamps .. .. it is just that the Penny Black cards always seem to end up being my favourites.  Must try hard to show you something else tomorrow LOL!!!

Then the very good news of the day is that finally my laptop is happy again.   Yay!!!

There are still a few things hubby needs to put on but hopefully now it is a happy machine and this time it will be good for longer than two weeks!!!!

Have a lovely evening everyone and thank you for calling by. 

Love

    Hey Jules. Great news about the lappy. Love this gorgeous creation, fab colouring especially the stripes on the kitty and the sentiment strip looks great. Is'nt it great to get the washing out and have it blowing in the wind. Only thing is, it still needs ironing (dirty word in our house).

    Just gotta say that THIS card is just as much of a stunner as the Bee one below. Your colouring technique is BRILLIANT . . . I am quite envious.

    The sunshine lulls us into a false sense of security doesn't it. I went rushing out into the garden thinking it looked gorgeous, only to come rushing back inside again. That wind is sooooo chilly!!
    Your card is as beautifual as always, Jules and I'm happy you have a happy lappy again.
    Hugs Lisax

    Hi Jules

    Another lovely creation! I agree with you on the weather front looks gorgeous and sunny but very cold!

    Thanks for the recommendation of the photobox thingy! I've not found a permanent home for it yet and have to keep getting it out on to the dining room table to take photos and then packing it away again! so must set it up somewhere - otherwise I will be lazy and not get it out! Seriously though I've only used it a couple of times but can definitely see an improvement so thanks again!
