Lovely Summer Sunshine!

Hello all - hope your weekend is going well? And I hope your weather is glorious like it is here! I know not everyone likes the sunshine but I love waking up to blue skies and sunny mornings (even though my hay fever is wicked at the moment!).  Tilly the Dog and I were out for morning walks early this morning as it gets too warm to take her during the day, so she had a fun time bouncing round the field, meeting some other dogs and splashing about in the beck - and has now collapsed in a furry heap and is snoring!

Thank you so much for all your lovely comments, and I'll make a concerted effort to get round to everyone's blogs later today!  It's been a busy weekend as it was my lovely step-daughter Lucy's birthday on Friday and our gorgeous daughter Lauren's birthday yesterday (I can't believe my baby is 20!). But sadly, she's not been too well and we ended up going to the out of hours service yesterday who diagnosed an infection and she's now got antibiotics and painkillers! Poor love! Not really the way you want to spend your birthday is it?  But she seems a bit brighter this morning and has managed some breakfast so, fingers crossed, she'll soon start to feel a lot better!  She'll just have to have a delayed birthday celebration. And it doesn't matter how old they are, they're still your babies really - although I did say that it was something of an irony that we ended up at the local hospital (where they have this clinic) when I'd also been there exactly 20 years ago with a little bundle of gorgeousness!

So I'd like to share the birthday card that I made for our 'Princess' (as my hubby thinks of all his 3 girls!)

I used the delightful Wee Stamps digi 'Amy' and coloured her with copics.  

The backing paper is from MyMindsEye with some kraft card. Then lots of flowers from WOC, a 'Princess' charm from Pretty Little Ribbon Shop and die cut meadow leaf from Poppystamps and a 'precious heart' die cut from Memory Box. The sentiment stamps are from LOTV with gems from stash, and I've used a Tonic border punch. 

And the inside decorated to match of course! 

Slightly stronger and brighter colours than my usual pastels lol! But I hope you like it. And I hope you enjoy the rest of your weekend, whatever you have planned. 

Back soon,

Kim  x
