Summer Garden

Hello Everyone,

Saturday morning here, thick fog, drizzle of rain, predicting snow and gale force winds by Sunday, and where am I going.....RUGBY...with the G/sons...Work first to see my lady, then out in this stink weather.

Never mind, 1hr40mins, of freezingness, then back to my wee corner of the room.

Have a card that I made last night, love it when a plan comes together so easy. Saw the challenge at
Bunny Zoes Crafts [make it an easel] and just had to play...they give you a month, and I'm done already, give me a week and I flounder around like a lost soul...


Theres the front door, a freebie from Beccy  isn't it lovely, thanks Beccy.
Coloured with pencils, made some extra flower pots with brown card and sponged stampin up ink 'pumpkin pie' around the edge, a little lavender sprig for dimension, and a piece of sticker border with a lady bug on it.



And....open. Papers are 'Country companion' and Andrea Jayne linen 'Tulip'.


And had to do a close up of my butterfly...so pretty. A packet of 3 from the 123 shop.

Right, I'm been given the push....hurry up Nana...so I'm off and will see you all later.
Thanks for stopping by and all your fabulous comments.

Luv CHRISSYxx
