You are my friend!

Hi there friends! Hope you are all good and ready for the weekend.
Well it's July tomorrow and I am back in socks and cardigans! It's been so cold and wet these past few days, we even resorted to having the fire on last night!!! It's supposed to be summer!!!!!

I bought the stamps that I have used on this card a while ago...I know........but I am very slowly using my NBUS . It is a Creative Expressions set Doodled Birds.
The card I made is CASED from one I saw in Samuel Taylors in Leeds (sorry don't know who had made it), but I fell in love with it and that's what persuaded my purchase (well a little persuasion perhaps).


I coloured the birds with copics and paper pieced their wings!...and a couple of the tulips. As all the layers and banner were made from snippets guess where I am heading. Yes you guessed..........the Playground.haven't been in ages so time to catch up with my mates and see if anyone has anything nice to share behind the bike sheds!!

Thank you for stopping by, I do appreciate your visits and I know that I have not been very productive of late....mojo has gone AWOL again!!! and life and everything it throws at you just gets in the way sometimes...........That's Life!!  (remember a TV program called that)

Enjoy your weekend everyone.

  4. Fab card and love the birdies!! Great colours and pretty paper wings. Sweet sentiment. I have to own up, to buying stamps and putting them in a file and there they have stayed. Not just a few but a lot!! I have promised myself this year to use a lot of them.....well a few!! Hugs, Carol S.xx

  11. Carole, oh my these little chicks are too darn cute and so is your card! I love that the wings are paper priced, I used to do that all the time because I didn't want to color! Love how you did that on the chicks! Its been so hot here I could use a bit of cold and wet....want to trade :)
