I COULDN'T DECIDE

Hi Everyone

Another lovely day weather wise .. .. and a lovely afternoon for me spent with my Mum. 

I sat and put all the inserts into my cards and packaged them all up so this means that once again I am up to date with what I find to be the most boring part of card making. 

The "cards needing inserts pile" is a bit like my ironing basket .. .. .. I always vow to keep on top once everything is up to date .. .. but sadly the rush to make another card takes over and they slowly just pile up.  Perhaps I need to get a system together and keep on top of them better.

Anyway round to my share of the day.

Well actually I was struggling to choose my favourite to share with you today but whittled it down to two .. .. but because I can't decide between them I am going to share them both.  Oh I live dangerously!!  LOL!!!

This is the first:






This used:

Image:  Pink Petticoat
Backing Papers:  Memory Box "Minuet" 
Martha Stewart Punch:  Frond
Woodware Punches:  Daisy
My Trusty Sewing Machine
ProMarkers
Ribbon from the Stash Box


This is my second share:






This used:

Image:  Digistamp Boutique (Doubled up to celebrate the arrival of "double trouble" LOL)
Sentiments:  Computer Generated
Backing Papers:  Pink Petticoat
My Trust Sewing Machine
Ribbon, Button and Gems from the Stash Box


I still can't decide which I like best.  LOL!!!

I hope you all have a lovely evening and I will catch you again tomorrow.

Love

    Beautiful cards Jules - the "on the mend" sentiment is just perfect with the sewing machine! The twins are adorable and I love the gingham paper.

    I definitely prefer the first one. The colours and that beautiful ribbon really make it for me. Not to say that the baby card isn't cute though!

    I really laughed at We're Here on a twins card...why have I never considered that for a birth card :)

    Hi Jules, I can't decide either. lol. The first one, I love the image, gorgeous colour combo (I adore green) & perfect sentiment. The second one, as soon as I saw it, it made me smile. I think it was the "We're here" that did it. Cute babies too. Glad you're up to date with your insert pile, I tend to put the inserts in when I use each card. Talk about last minute.

    The rate at which you make cards, Jules, is almost illegal! Love your recents especially the sewing machine. Such a clever sentiment and so beautifully simple in design. Hugs, Lesley

    p.s. I adore the fact that each of your cards has a heart on it. I always think a little bit of me goes into every card I make and a little bit of your heart goes into each of yours too :)
