DRAGONFLY VINE

Hi Everyone

Well there won't be any dragonflies flying around today .. .. far too windy and cold for those little beauties that's for sure.

In fact far too windy and cold for me too but I still needed to brave the elements to collect a parcel that wouldn't fit through my letter box and then later to the post office to send off some invitations.  It felt like the middle of winter rather than Spring!!

A really productive day in the House of Hearts today.  Mega stacks of printing and cutting out decked all over the place.  What a good job I don't take part in WOYWW .. .. otherwise it would be photograph overload for sure!!  LOL!!!





Anyway, here is my share for the day

This used:

Image:  Stampendous "CRP119" Cling Dragonfly Vine
Sentiment:  Penny Black "Critter Party"
Backing Papers:  Pink Petticoat printed in sage and mocha
My Trusty Sewing Machine
Buttons and Ribbon from the Stash Box

The heart is a bit tricky tonight .. .. but I promise it is there!!

OK back to the cutting out for me. 

Catch you again soon

Love

  16. Can you believe it, Jules, last week shorts and t-shirts, this week, snow boots and hats!!!!! What is going on?
    DD was very happy to find some snow although we had to drive up onto the moor behind us to find enough for her to play in.
    Love your dragonfly but you've stumped me with the heart today and that's after blowing the photo up too!!

  17. Found it! It wasn't easy though, Jules, you're getting trickier :) Love this card, and not just because of the colours and the dragonfly. No, it's the buttonholes - they really are a stroke of genius! Would love it if you did reveal your workdesk to us bloggers - could be an eye-opener :)) Elizabeth x

  37. Cor blimey Jules . . . I had my nose pressed up against the pooter screen to find THAT heart. I was just about to give up and ask if you'd added the heart to the BACK of the card, when I found it!

    And all this "hard work" after I had to run after the bin men waving my FULL bin as THE HUSBAND forgot to put it out last night. I'm going back to work for a REST! LOL! xxx

  42. Hi Jules,
    Just having a catch up after being away on my holidays. You've made so many gorgeous cards lately, I don't know were you get your inspiration from!
    Loving todays card - I eventually found the heart after I almost gave up and said that you were fibbing and there wasn't really a heart, so, sorry for nearly calling you a fibber!
