Monday and we're starting a new week ... with a public holiday, got plans?

Morning readers, 

Don't know about you but I was surprised by how nice the weather was at the weekend. We're more used to rain at a Public Holiday weekend!! We actually got in a BBQ AND line dried washing! Woo Hoo! So, anyway, there we were .. enjoying a bevy as it's starting to go dark when we spotted movement under the gate and we were joined by Florence, a neighbourhood cat

Am I too late for the BBQ?

Are you ABSOLUTELY sure you didn't leave me any?

I've a make to share with you today ....... having been rummaging in the DYLUSIONS section of my stencil storage recently - I rediscovered the one used today. I had also really liked the combination of the blueprint sketch and hickory smoke inks so ....... maybe I can give it a rest with these colours now but, we'll see!

My C6 card

Materials used:

• White, 250gsm, 3½" x 4⅞" card and matching envelope
