WHERE HAVE I BEEN?

Hi Everyone

Happy Tuesday .. .. just!!!

I was hoping to have appeared with a teeny tiny Tuesday card today .. .. but sadly it just didn't happen.  Can't believe there wasn't even time to cover the front of a 3.5 inch card!!!  Shame on me!!

Life has been super exciting and busy over the last week or so .. .. not helped by the fact that I have had to endure one of those rather large birthdays and a wedding anniversary, both of which have involved lots of celebrating.

Mr Heart and I went away for a lovely little break .. .. not very far to travel and very enjoyable .. .. and there has been lots of celebrating with family and friends too.  No wonder the scales weren't very pleased with me this week .. .. boo hoo!!!  

But hopefully now that Mr Heart has returned to work, life might settle back into more of a normal routine.

As I haven't managed to make a card today I thought I would share a couple of makes from the commissions I worked on for the issue of Quick Cards Made Easy magazine that has just gone on sale .. .. though to be fair I could have shown you all the cards from both commissions as I loved every one.

The first comes from a Chalkboard Effect Commission that I really enjoyed completing


and the second used dies on a Fancy Edge Card commission.  


I loved this card so much!!  I even made one very similar for a very special friend to give me for my birthday LOL!!

So I have made an appearance .. at last.

Hopefully normal service will be resumed very soon .. .. not that I am sure what normal is any more in the old House of Hearts!

Take care everyone and I'll catch you soon.

Love

    Belated Wishes for your special Birthday Jules. Glad to hear you had a good time.

    These are two absolutely stunning cards. I do especially like the chalkboard card. I love the border you have put on the centre border. Barbxx

    Hi Jules

    HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY AND ANNIVERSARY!

    I'm so glad that you and Mr Heart managed to get away together and I'm also glad that you had lots of celebrating with family too..... stuff the scales!!

    Your cards are absolutely stunning as usual.

    I have made a start of putting my wonderful prize win to good use and have made a card (while Posy was asleep!!!).

    Hope you have a great week and keep your head above water!!
    Love Eve xx
