Hello Friend

Hello everyone.  Hope you are all well today.  We have some lovely spring like weather here - hope it's nicer wherever you are.

I made this card for a friend who I am sending a late birthday present too.  I sent her a card on time but didn't manage to get to the PO to post her present.

I used dies that were in last months Die Cut Essentials magazine and followed a really helpful tutorial, in the mag, on making this.  I chose to go with patterned papers, gems and a red/pink colour scheme as I do like to add my own design to any tutorials that I follow.  This was a lot of fun to make and will do this again.

Good morning crafty friends.

The weather has gone really warm again hasn't it?  I was getting my warm clothes out as it was getting cooler and lo and behold, the weather's changed again?????

Anyhow, I have a card to share.  On the blog of one of my crafty friends, Sarah, she used a lovely Woodware large word stamp and I loved the card she had made with it.  The word she had chosen was cake and decided to get a Christmas one (well actually I got two - the other to be shown sometime in the week lol) .....

Yesterday, we had a lovely day out with my friends who came to visit me.  We went for a long walk to a place called Solomon's Temple (in Buxton, Derbyshire).  Although it is a lovely place the walk actually nearly killed us.  Guess we are getting older lol.  In fairness it is a very steep climb to get to the temple!  That's my excuse anyway!
