I hope all is well with you and if not that things improve very quickly.
All busy again here these last few days, after what was probably a rather "too" relaxing bank holiday weekend .. .. but you have to charge your batteries up at some stage don't you?
No crafting that I can share at the moment as things are going up a gear on the wedding front, so this is a scheduled post today which gives a peep at just a few of the creations I put together for the latest issue of Papercraft Inspirations magazine.
I worked on a commission to use ribbon in 10 different ways .. .. and here are some of them .. .. which range from simple bow tying, pleating between layers of card, twisting inside a shaker element and even the odd french knot here and there. I came up with other ways but these were perhaps my favourites:
I would imagine that as this goes live I will be gathering all my wedding samples, table plans and colour charts together ready for meeting up with a sparkly new couple later today. If only we had "just one more room" where I could simply display everything rather than keep putting everything away and getting it out again. But never mind .. .. there are far worse problems to have .. .. and running up and downstairs with everything is a good bit of exercise!
Have a great weekend when it arrives everyone .. .. and I hope there is some crafty time somewhere in it for you. I am looking for lots and lots of it over the course of mine .. .. along with some sunshine!!
Jules these are brilliant I just adore that top one so very clever. Must hunt and see if i have anything suitable. Have a good week

Love your cards Jules. As always, fab designs. Right up my street, living only a few minutes from a beautiful beach. I haven't seen a mermaid yet though!! Hope to get to the beach for a walk tomorrow. Have a lovely weekend and try to fit a bit of crafting in! Big hugs, Carol S.xx
