Hi Everyone
I hope it is a good weekend for everyone .. .. .. .. .. in fact a good bank holiday weekend (sorry if anyone dropping by isn't getting the extra day tagged on).
Now hubby is retired the bank holidays don't seem quite the magical occasion they used to be when we were younger. Probably because each day feels like a holiday now!
I can highly recommend retirement life .. .. not that I have retired. I still have lots of ambitions and dreams I am striving to achieve .. .. but it is good to have someone around who is happy to clear the kitchen up and even cook when things get super busy for me. He's a good egg!!! LOL!!!
Today I had a quick play with my ever growing pile of snippets.
I need to hang my head in shame though because I haven't been playing along recently with Pixie's Snippets Playground .. .. .. .. and it isn't as if I don't have any snippets left. I have no excuse. Snippet mountain still grows bigger every day!
But this is my offering for the current challenge:
Julie Hickey: Bee Happy Stamp Set
Julie Hickey: Layers, Frames & Banner Rectangle Die Set
MFT DieNamics: Stitched Flowers
Punches
Nail Heads
My Trusty Sewing Machine
Everything about my card came from snippet mountain except for the card base .. .. .. so just an ultra small reduction in snippets .. .. .. but every little helps.
Beautiful cheerful colours in the papers and die cut flower with a wonderful sentiment,love the font.

A pretty card Jules, lovely papers and colours.
ReplyDeleteI know what you mean about bank holidays and retirement, I am never quite sure what day it is now that hubby has retired - it's a lovely feeling though!

This is so cheerful and colourful. We don't get this holiday in Scotland, but like you say every day is a holiday when you are retired. We just seem to have to fit a little bit more in each day, but so enjoyable. Take care. Elaine
