Saturday, it's the weekend!

Morning readers,

If you stopped by my blog on Thursday you will have seen that I was away for a couple of days this past week, visiting pals, scroll down and see some pix ... my thanks to Jacky and to Sarn and Gra for their hospitality. In case you are wondering - I bought some foil - you read right, ALL I BOUGHT was some foil! And, frankly, that was so we could play with foil at Sarn's!

Jacky and I, trying to shelter from the wind, and failing, dismally! Lovely to see you Jacky

So, now I'm back and headed to the Table of Craftiness ...... to make some of my "playtime" pieces in to cards and/or ATC's - here's the first one ...

My card

And a closer view of the image/sentiment

Since one of my challenges says "FINISH THE INSIDE" .... here IS the inside!
