WITH LOVE

Hi Everyone

Happy Friday .. .. ahead of what I hope will be a happy weekend for you.

We have The London Kids coming to stay for the weekend so whilst my printer has been beavering away on wedding work I have been "finding" the spare bedroom for them.  My eldest Son is taking part in the Derby 10K as part of the 2014 in 2014 challenge.  Not sure where he has got this "running streak" from.  It must be a throw-back from the past because certainly Mr Heart and I couldn't run to save our lives!!

I tried running from the Post Office back to my car the other day (only a few hundred yards) and twisted my ankles twice in the process LOL!!

Anyway, there is only so much cutting, printing, creasing and folding of card that can be done before your fingers itch to get a stamp out to play with.  I decided on this one .. .. which looking at the weather this morning doesn't seem very appropriate.




This used:

Image and Sentiment:  Imagination Crafts Decoupage Stamp Range "Tulips"
Cuttlebug Embossing Folder:  Swiss Dots
My Trust Sewing Machine
Watercolour Paint Palette
Versafine Ink Pad and Clear Embossing Powder
Liquid Pearls
Ribbon
Josy Rose:  Nail Heads

So that is me for today.

Time to get Mr Sheen and Mr Dyson working overtime whilst the printer churns away .. .. again!!!

Busy, busy world here at the moment!

Love

  1. Gorgeous card a Jules, very spring like. I am of the opinion that nothing and I mean nothing is worth running for lol, I got asked what if there was a bus and if you ran you would catch it, I replied there will be another one in ten minutes lol. Kudos to anyone that loves it though as it must be very therapeutic. Hope the ankle heals soon. Hugs, Amanda x

  4. I expect it your 4" Christian Laboutin shoes that made you trip Jules, not your lack of fitness!! I love your card, just might need to add that stamp to my collection!! xx

  24. Oh my Jules, this card is stunning! Here you have no pattern paper and it is still the most beautiful card I've seen! I love that stamp, your pearls look awesome, love the gingham ribbon and I love the touch of silver in the heart and dots. You always amaze me with your cards, it's no wonder you do so well with your wedding things. I so enjoy coming to visit here. Thanks for coming to see me, but never fret about it cause I know how busy you are. I know in the spring when mowing starts will keep me busy. You aren't the only one who can't run, I couldn't run to save my life either. lol Hugs

  34. Very pretty card. I love the gingham with the spring scene.

    I know many people who like to run--FOR FUN! I always say I'm not running unless I'm being chased. Now they do these fun runs where zombies chase you. Holy cow there goes my excuse...
