DO MORE OF WHAT MAKES YOU HAPPY

Hi Everyone

Happy Friday!!!

The weekend is here again .. .. .. woo hoo!!!!

General cards were the order of the day today.  Lots needed!!!

The radio was talking about Summer being over soon :-(  .. .. I am so not ready for that yet!!  I just love days when it is lovely enough to have the windows wide open all day and get lots of fresh air into the house and to walk out without fear of needing a coat.  

So if Summer is going to be making an exit soon I decided I would have a play with the Pink Petticoat Beach Cottage images whilst I still felt summery!!

This one is my favourite out of the set of images.  I just love the sentiment so much!

So .. .. the order is to do more of what makes you happy.  That means more crafting and less ironing and housework for me then!  LOL!!  (Is that possible?!?!!?).




This used:

Image and sentiment:  Pink Petticoat "Beach Cottage"
Backing Papers:  Beach Cottage
Nestabilities:  Classic Circle and Scalloped Circle
My Trusty Sewing Machine
Josy Rose:  Nail Heads
ProMarkers
Glamour Dust
Cord from my Stash Box

I am going to sign off now as I want to try and have a little catch up in blogland as I am so very, very behind.  I know I won't be able to catch up with everyone but I can make a start.  

But before I go you know how I love to share a bargain .. .. well at the risk of causing harm to people's bank balances .. .. Nitwits have a fabby sale on at the moment, for those like me who like to print their own backing papers (over and over again!!!).

Have a lovely weekend everyone. 

Love

    Liking this very much, also the idea of more crafting rather than housework has great appeal :-D

    Brilliant card, beautiful colours. I really had to look for the "heart" today.
    We want to keep the summer going as long as possible. A lot cooler here but the sun is shining so it still looks great.
    Have a Great Weekend

    Spent my mornings in Filey at our cousins beach hut...just like these! what a delightful way of life.

    Pop down to the beach chalet in the am and see all your friends stop by for a quick chat or a coffee and be home before lunch! It was wonderful!

    Your card is wonderful too...love the colours and that perfect sentiment.
