My weekend...

Right, kind of late, but I have to do it: Big shout and even bigger hugs to Jules and Lesley for being such great crafty friends! I just had such a lovely day Saturday, even with being a tiny bit ill in the late afternoon. It was so nice to be able to sit down with like minded friends for some crafting and chatting without feeling awkward that I get excited over paper and inks and stamps...
And the creative energy those two have is just amazing! I got so inspired I couldn't stop colouring! I even copied a colour scheme that Julie used on an image almost exactly. Luckily she didn't mind! That's friends for you!
Julie also brought a lovely gift basket filled with chocolate for me and Lesley each and I am shamelessly pinching her pictures of mine as I have not very good light in my room at the moment and don't want to wait...




Lesley got one in matching colours to her fabulous craft room. Lesley also was extremely generous and had a pad of my very favourite watercolour paper for each of us which I started using right away for some lovely images I pinched from Julie.
I just want to say a HUGE thank you to you for a day to remember. It really is my light at the end of a long tunnel when we get together for a day! *hugs*

I have another card for you that I did for the March Friendship Swap on DC, it's a Hero Arts digi download that was inspired by Jennifer McGuire, coloured with copics and glittered.



Lastly before I start working on my big sale post, I leave you with a quick card I made on Saturday that I quite like although there are a few "oopsies" on it. Distress inks, a bit of heat embossing and punched butterflies...

Wow, Alex, I love your butterfly! It really is a stunner! Of course I saw the sunset card and I was amazed at how some distress inks carefully applied, a fabulous background stamp and the addition of a fab sentiment and some little butterflies creates such a beautiful card! Before I go - I am also interested in that leaf puch and stamp set so I'll send another e-mail. Love Lesley
