Flowers Everywhere.........

Morning everyone, hope you're all fit and well on this gorgeous day. 

This is quite a long and flowery post, so please bear with me...I'm also surrounded by flowers as I write........but more about that later.

Todays card was made for a young girl to give the Bride and Groom at their wedding last Saturday..... she was a 'flower girl', so her mam asked for something flowery.

They both loved what I made, thankfully.....but because I'm a bit anal about things being perfect, this card had to have a touch up with Promarkers......can you spot where, by looking closely?

No, ok see if this helps....

Now can you see the little white piece showing near the top....I just couldn't let it go like that, so voila! out came the Pro's, and I just 'touched in', using similar colours to the patterned paper.....makes a huge difference though, don't you agree....haha.

So that's todays card......hope you like it.

It's been such a busy few days here.... as some of you will know it was my 'BIG' birthday on Monday, and I was dreading it....however Alan, Finn and the kids (Nick, Emma & Eva and Adam and Emma.....yes, I know, very confusing for me, 2 Emma's ) made it a weekend to remember by spoiling me rotten (I'd already had a week in Devon with all the above and my wonderful bro Colin and sis-in-law Ros as my treat, so didn't expect anything else)....anyway, no cooking all weekend, (loads of meals out) a day out on the Kennet and Avon canal on Sunday, and fabulous gifts and flowers....(good job I have lots of vases, as more have arrived since this pic was taken.)

All of my lovely hand-crafted cards from crafty friends are on the hearth x If you 'single-click' on the pic, you'll see them close-up.

The bright card on the mantlepiece is one of my own..... (made and blogged a couple of weeks ago with Lavinia Stamps)....I won't let Alan buy a crappy 'shop' card, so he always chooses one out of my stock. haha. I love the sentiment on this card, so he made the right choice.

WE MIGHT NOT HAVE IT ALL TOGETHER.....BUT TOGETHER WE HAVE IT ALL!

And last but not least, our gorgeous little Eva sent these pics to my mobile on Monday....she's so clever being able to write & text at only 16 weeks, don't you think ?

Thank you Emma, and Eva for taking the time to do this....love you both loads xx

Catch you all in a couple of days.

xx
