Sweet Cherry Pip

Shhh.. we have had some sunshine today, a bit blustery but dry. I did not realise just how paper l had - l decided on my colour theme today and spent ages looking for papers to match then l came across this pack l must have had at least seven years and have only used a couple of sheets, l think my floor could give way at any moment with the weight of stuff in here lol x

On with the card, l had to be careful where l put the foliage as she looked like an antler was coming out of the top of the bow lol.

Pines

Good evening everyone - the weekend starts here and it looks like an indoor one with this horrid weather.  Me thinks a crafty weekend is on the cards:)

I bought this set from Stampin Up a couple of months ago and have been itching to ink it up - the set has a poinsettia in too but l love this cone stamp and it is perfect for repeat stamping and can see it will feature a lot this year in my simple cards suitable for 'through the post cards'  The photo does not really do this card justice and looks much better in the 'flesh'.

Good evening everyone, hope yours is brighter than mine, looking out of the window to torrential rain and grey clouds, cheerful indoors listening to a Dolly Parton cd in my craft room, did anyone see her on breakfast the other morning. She still looks amazing and has a show Working 9 till 5 coming to London so l may put that on my to do when l go to London for a break in November.  Yesterday was glorious and l spent all day and most of the evening in the allotment knowing that l would have a couple of days off with the rain, caught up with 3 hours ironing this morning ...enough of the boring stuff and on with the card, l have made this for the challenge over at Penny Black Saturday Challenge which this week is 5 circles, l hope my buttons and pearls count ...

Allotment Diary - Had a good two hours there this morning and planted the runner beans that l started off in greenhouse at home. Managed to clear all the weeds around the raspberries and put supports up ready for them to grow.  I have been laying a path and have only one flag left to take around.  

Meant to Be

Hope you have all had a good weekend, those with fathers hope you have had precious time with them and for those like me hope you have had happy memories of times past.

My son and l had a good time at the Michael Jackson tribute night, to save my son getting embarrassed l stayed in my seat as he kept prodding me telling me to shut up as l sounded like 40 strangled cats - not nice and l was not pleased - think he needs to lighten up and party.

On with the card, this gorgeous stamp has seen ink today for the first time and it is just so sweet
