I hope you're all having a good weekend. We took the children to the seaside for the day yesterday, and had a lovely day, ice cream on the beach, fish and chips for tea. Then today I have got sand all over my kitchen floor - it gets everywhere!
I can't believe it's the Olympic Closing Ceremony tonight - it's been a brilliant 2 weeks, I've really enjoyed watching all the sports. What a fantastic 'Team GB' we've got!
Anyway today's card is using a stamp from Forever Friends that I got in a kit years ago. I've also tried something new, I've had a go at paper piecing, and used the background paper for the present.
I've finished off with a couple of LOTV tag stamps and some ribbon from my stash.
I'd like to enter the following challenges:-
My Mums Craft Shop - Christmas in August
ABC Christmas challenge - Paper piecing
Joanna Sheen - Try something New (Paper Piecing)
Reddy Teddy Go - Anything Goes
Forever Friends - Something New (Paper Piecing)
Cute Card Thursday - Tag You're It
Simon Says Stamp - Bingo (Glitter, Free, Diecut)
Thank you for taking the time to visit me today and for all your lovely comments.
The children want to play Badminton in the garden now!!. . . so I'll be round to visit you all later!
