For You

Hello all and I hope that your week is going smoothly? I feel as though it's been a 'bitty' sort of week up to now, with lots of little jobs, places to go, things to do - and not sure whether I've actually achieved anything lol!  But at least as I look outside the sun is shining (after heavy rain early this morning!) - but it's so blustery! But that sunshine does wonders to perk you up!  So I'll shortly have to don the wellies (so glamorous!) and head off out with Tilly the Dog.  She decided long ago that if I wasn't out at work then just after lunch was a perfect time for a doggy walk - and she'll follow behind me or sit sighing in front of me until I give in and put my coat and wellies on!

Before I head off onto the field, I thought I'd share a card with you I made for a fellow crafter!  I've been fortunate to have a brilliant craft shop - Cardcraft-UK - not far from home which I have been a regular visitor to for a number of years and my daughter had her first Saturday job there from aged 16 for nearly 2 years.  But sadly, due to ill health and family commitments, they are having to close the shop. This is especially sad for people like me who just love browsing and are addicted to paper!  But they also have a wonderful website and online 'shop' which will be carrying on business - so at least I'll still be able to get a crafty shopping fix!  Anyway, before they close the actual shop in another week, I wanted to drop a card off as a little 'thank you' for all the crafting enjoyment I've had visiting (and purchasing!) in the shop!

I've used LOTV stamp 'Times to Treasure' and coloured it with promarkers and flexmarkers

The scrummy backing papers are from K&Co with some added stitching. I've mounted the image onto a Spellbinders 'floral oval' and added sentiment stamps from LOTV. The flowers are from WOC with a seam binding ribbon bow and some lace from stash.  The bunting was made using a Whimsy die. 

And the inside decorated to match

And thankfully Sandra at the shop liked it - which is the main thing! 

So if you get the chance, do check out their brilliant online store at Cardcraft-UK - it's well worth a visit! 

Back soon,
