Hello Friend


So far, April has been a busy month for me. A son who turned 18, a niece who turned 22 and close friends who also keep having birthdays. Not that I mind - any excuse to raise a glass and make a card is okay with me.
Note: Be careful of wine drinking and card making at same time.
Plus, I have been planning classes for this coming term. I did say 'planning' but not actually 'making'. Must get onto that!!! I know what will happen - I will have the perfect card planned in my head, sketched out on my notebook and when it finally comes time to put it together - Euck! So then back to the drawing board. Does that happen to anyone else?
I made this simple card a few weeks ago now (love doing that poking holes technique thingy) and thought that I would enter it into a few Easter challenges.

  1. That totally happens to me- get half way through the card and step back and think- what happened?!?- back to the drawing board I go! This card is so cute though- I'm loving the yellow, so springy and I'm totally going to have to try the, what did you call it?, paper holes technique thingy! I love those technical terms...lol :) Thanks for sharing another adorable card!

  2. Oh I so know what you mean. Ideas look great in my head and then come out totally rubbish in real life. Choklit needed.
    Anyway, so glad I came across youur wonderful blog, your cards are absolutely fab. I really like this one, Heather Ellis is one of my all time favs and yellow is my fav colour, so what's not to like?! Brilliant. Enjoy the rest of your weekend. (Are you behind me, or ahead?!)
