Just for you...

Hello all in Blogland and I hope that your weekend has been going well? A little grey here this morning (the weather, not me - my grey is covered up!) but hoping it stays dry as I really need to do a bit more in the jungle garden!  It's amazing how much things can grow with some rain and some sunshine!  So before I lose the dog and cat in the undergrowth, I think I'd better make an effort to get some of it under control. I've never been keen on very neat and tidy gardens, with everything planted in regimental rows, but I think the 'relaxed and natural' look is getting a bit carried away with itself, so I can feel a 'hack and slash' mission coming on with the gardening tools. I might even persuade him indoors to help me - but I won't hold my breath. It seems the rest of the family are quite happy to sit in the garden when the weather's nice (or, in my son's case, if the barbecue is going) but strangely enough, no-one is too keen to do any weeding.....

And apologies for not getting round to everyone's blogs over the last few days - I will make an effort later today (when I've collapsed after gardening) to 'surf' the net and catch up with all your fabulous creations. I thought I'd share a card with you today that I was quite pleased with when I'd done it, but now I'm not so sure and think I've probably gone a bit overboard!  I've always tended to be a bit 'more is more' kind of gal when it comes to card design and embellishments, but now think I've perhaps gone too far.....

I've used an LOTV stamp 'Bunnies - In Love' - and they're so cute! 

I've coloured them with promarkers and copics. The gorgeous backing paper is from My Minds Eye. The flowers and leaves are from WOC, as is the pearly heart. I've used ribbon and lace from stash and the sentiment stamp and ticket die are from Whimsy. 

I did this as a sort of 'off-set' gatefold card, with the inside decorated to match and a Marianne die cut heart. 

I adore that paper, but think I may have added too much to it with other embellies! Oh well, I'll never be a CAS girl at heart lol! 

I hope you enjoy the rest of your weekend - whatever you have planned. 

I'll be back tomorrow with one of the gorgeous new releases from Whimsy Digital - and a blog hop! 

Back soon,
