LOVIN' FLOWERS

Hi Everyone

Happy Saturday!

I hope you are having a good weekend.

It has been quite a busy one here in the House of Hearts for lots of different reasons, but a very enjoyable one too.

I had a major die cutting session today which means I can now sit and make a mountain of thank you cards for a now married "happy couple".  That will hopefully be one of tomorrow's tasks.

Hubby went out into the garden to give some conifer trees a haircut .. ..  he has like hedge cutters on a huge extending pole .. .. but even with this there were some parts he just couldn't reach .. .. so I said if he held the ladder I would go up and trim them with the hand clippers .. .. just to finish the job off properly.  That felt much less responsibility than me holding the ladder for him to climb up.

After a bit of persuading he agreed .. .. and when finished I said "don't you tell my Mum I have been up there".  He laughed because he knew my Mum never allowed me to climb on anything.  Even now she tells me off if she knows I have been up in the roof!!

Once as a child she let me climb nearly to the top of a slide but she just wasn't brave enough to let me climb right to the top, clamber over and slide down.  She insisted I comeback down the steps .. .. and of course you would never dare argue.  You did as you were told. So all the kids climbing up behind me had to get off the steps so I could climb down again!!  How embarrassed was I?!?!  LOL!!!

Anyway, time for a little share:



 

This used:

Image:  Penny Black "1037K" Lovin' Flowers 
Sentiment:  Docrafts (no reference on the stamp and this is just part of the image).
Backing Papers:  Pink Petticoat "Isabelline" and "Woodgrain"
Sizzix Die:  "657188" Tiny Tags and Tabs
Josy Rose:  Nail Heads
ProMarkers
Glamour Dust
Pinking Shears
Twine, ribbon and button from my stash box 

Well it smells like my curry is well on the way to being cooked so I had better wander and get the rest ready.

Have a lovely evening and I'll catch you tomorrow with my snippets.

Love

    Wonderful card Jules, and such a sweet image too. Perfect backing papers and the twine just sets off the gardening theme brilliantly.

    I did grin about you not wanting your Mum to know about your climbing heights :) I guess it's not you on my snippets card for the Playground then?!

    Hugs, Di xx

    How lovely. The woodgrain paper is the perfect backing for your garden themed imaged - which is adorable.
    You are so brave - I hate having to go up ladders for any reason. Even the loft one gives me the heebie jeebies but it has to be done sometimes.
