On a roll.......

Happy Sunday to everyone and what a great day it's been.....temperature hit 21 degrees yesterday and 20 today, so a fab weekend. Alan has taken a day off tomorrow so we're going to head to a beach somewhere with Finn, it's forecast for 19 degrees ....yippee.
Well yesterday I made 12 cards......yes 12!   Only A6 size, which I very rarely do, and all very similar, but different!   I got out my Marianne embossing folders, ( inspired by someone on Facebook who'd made some gorgeous wedding invites ), and I couldn't stop.......I think I'll bundle some of them in cellophane and ribbon, and give as a gift.....on the other hand they might sell at my Craft fair next weekend, so maybe I'll wait until after then :)  A lot of customers look at A5 size cards and think, 'expensive to post' so I have stopped doing so many of them, however a small card can be just as expensive if it has a ribbon or other embellishment, but I don't tell them that .....haha
Anyway, here they are......










Hope you like them,  but I know there is no skill involved, and it's not rocket science to mat and layer. I'd love it if you could leave a comment if you've enjoyed looking, thanks  xx
