Through the Trees

Clean and simple, I love doing these, it makes an easy beautiful card.
Papertrey Ink through the trees stamp, Nestabilies plain square embossed over the top of the image, a couple of score lines to house the satin ribbon, a little sentimant tag tied with linen thread and a bit of love to bring it all together.

Congratulations ladies

Surprise!!

I have missed a couple of days postings this week as my life has become uber busy with a new exciting venture which I will tell you about real soon.

The eagle eyed amongst my followers may have noticed something and wondered what it is all about but honestly it will all be revealed real soon.

All I am inklined to say is that I need another 8 hours minimum to my day to fit everything in.

CPS Card Sketch Challenge 173

CPS hold a card sketch challenge each Week (see here) and it has been such a long time since I did any challenges that I thought I would give this a whirl.
I used the Papertrey Ink Fancy Flourish stamp set and the paper flowers where made from a scalloped circle punch, I used the swiss dots Cuttlebug embossing folder at each end of the focal image added a couple of beaded stamins and a ribbon and a bit of love to bring it all together.

A bit of Sunshine


Most people that know me would tell you I'm the only person they know that can kill a Cactus but that doesn't stop me trying to grow my own, It is absolutely shameful that I am the way I am as I come from a background of vegetable and flower growers.
My Dad used to show his Vegetables and won many a trophy yet here I am useless.
this is Dad 21st September 1968 I'd of been 3 years old.

So with the help of my Mam and a lovely next door neighbour here is my contribution to summer.

Such a shame not to capture a bit of beauty

Salmon Begonia


As you can see I'm not quite green fingered yet but I am trying.

Lemon Begonia


Stunningly Velvety
Red Rose
