Believe…

Hello friends! I hope everyone has had a wonderful day, although wet, and that it’s been a good start to the week! Six weeks and counting, but I think I may have already mentioned that!?!

I have gone very girly and pink today – it’s a card for my beautiful daughter who has quite a few challenges ahead of her these next few months! She has been nominated for Headgirl at school, so we find out about that by the end of next week. She will also be applying to Uni soon, and needs to audition as she wants to go to a dance school, so we have that ahead of us, and she also gets her AS level results at the end of August, so fingers crossed that she gets the marks that she wants for those!

What I have used:

Stamp – Lili of the Valley and Flourish stamp from my box!

Paper – Paper Cellar Wedding

Spellbinder dies

Sentiment – Lili of the Valley

Coloured with Promarkers

Cosmic Shimmer Pearl PVA

Ribbon from my stash

Dreaming…

Hello friends! Sunday already, this week has just flown by! By to work tomorrow, although only 6 weeks til the Summer holidays – the Lili of the Valley sentiment stamp I have used says ‘Dreaming of Summer days’, very apt!!

I haven’t achieved as much as what I wanted to do this half term, but at least I’ve had a rest, and the Diamond Jubilee was wonderful to watch on telly. Only a pity about all the dreadful weather we have had, fingers crossed it gets better from here on. Today is quite warm outside, but I think we may get a few thunderstorms later. I really miss that about South Africa, the beautiful storms we used to get in the afternoons, absolutely magnificent!

What I used:

Stamp – Lili of the Valley

Paper – BoBunny Doubledot

Coloured with Promarkers

Spellbinder dies

Red, White and Blue…

Well what an absolutely fabulous day! Watched the Jubilee Pageant today and found myself welling up with tears quite a few times! We spent the day with family, had a fantastic celebratory lunch, played with my great-niece, had a game of Trivial Pursuit, watched the documentary on the making of the Jubilee song ‘Sing’ and cried along with that too!!

This is an ATC for the monthly challenge that I take part in. The theme for this month was Diamonds or Red, White and Blue, so I chose the latter!

What I used:

Stamp – from Penny Black

Coloured with Promarkers

Right, think it’s off to bed for me! I am off on half-term this week, so looking forward to lots of card making and hopefully get some bits and pieces done to decorate my craft room with!!

See you back soon,

Love and light
