A BIRTHDAY FULL OF SUNSHINE

Hi Everyone

I can't believe it has taken me all week to get another card posted!!

Where did this week go?

I can always tell I am busy if when I wake up in the morning I have to work out what day of the week it is!! LOL!!!  I seem to have spells where they days and weeks all merge into one .. . and July has been like that all month so far. But that is a good thing because it means things are going well.

There have been quite a few new samples needed this week for new "happy couples" and I am starting to get booked up for Summer 2014 now!  That is a lovely feeling because it makes me feel I am definitely on the right track. 

But aside from my wedding work there is always a call for general cards too and when I saw a new download appear in the Pink Petticoat Boutique late yesterday I just knew I could do lots and lots with it!! It warranted a quick download and printing off session and now I have lots of summer style cards in my head!!

Here is my first creation using the download:




This used:

Image:  Just Inklined "Seaside Beach Huts"
Image:  Sunshine stamp taken from Woodware Clear Images "FRCL056" On The Move
Sentiment:  Computer Generated using font Zipty Do
Backing papers:  Pink Petticoat "Beach Cottage" (with a free sheet of sentiments until Sunday)
My Trusty Sewing Machine
ProMarkers, Chalk and Glamour Dust
Cord and Charm from my stash box

So that is me for today.  All posted nice and early .. .. and now I need to get onto table plan duty ready for a bride who gets married next weekend.  I wonder if the sunshine is going to hold for her?  I hope so!

Have a great Friday everyone and a brilliant weekend.

Love

    It's beautiful and serene Jules. You beat me to it as I've also purchased those downloads from Pink Petticoat and can't wait to use them. So glad your wedding business is going great. Would love to take the plunge and give up work for crafting but...big decisions. xx

    Ohhhhh...these beach huts are fabulous. I am heading over to England and plan to spend lots of time at the beach huts in Filey. Our cousins have one right on the cobbles and it is so fun to hang out there and pop in and out of the ocean!

    Love your pretty summery colours and the sentiment is so perfect!!!
