Hi Everyone
So much for me being back in blogland!!
Since my last post .. .. which seems a lifetime ago now .. .. my feet don't seem to have touched the ground. My time has been taken up making samples for interest new "happy couples", magazine commissions, card orders and having fun with Mum! No general crafting has happened at all .. .. which will never do!!
I have also been having to "find the back bedroom" ready for the London kids coming home tomorrow for a couple of nights. Can't wait to see them again! They will no doubt be here at the crack of dawn to avoid all that chaotic London traffic.
They have been away on a cruise to celebrate our Son's 40th birthday and were hoping to see the Northern Lights. I didn't get any excited phone messages so I am guessing that perhaps didn't happen for them .. .. but it will be an excuse for them to go back again sometime.
I must admit I really don't feel old enough to have a son that is 40! I can't say I even feel 40 myself! But the weekend will be a lovely time and we will have fun celebrating his milestone birthday.
So with no new creations under my belt I will share some of the cards I made for Issue 202 of Cardmaking and Papercraft magazine .. .. .. which should now be available on the shelves.
I got to work with some lovely Sue Wilson stamps and dies and these were my favourites from a set of five:
So back to the wedding samples for me before heading off to Mum and I will hopefully catch you again soon.
Take care everyone and have a good Thursday.
Lovely set of cards Jules you've showcased the cards and dies beautifully, we didn't see the Northern Lights either on our cruise..
