Saturday and that means ... it's the weekend - ENJOY!

Morning readers, 

Well, who would have thought that the weather would be nice for the Easter Bank Holiday weekend!!! I hope you have nice plans and plans which won't involve you being stuck on the motorway anywhere either. Happy Easter dear readers

I've a make to share with you today ....... this one is another "nautical" themed card for a commission. I've now made twelve and HOPE the "commissionee" can find eight she likes from the batch. If I'm super lucky she will like all of them!

My 3½" x 4⅞" card
And a closer view of the image panel

I'll be entering the above make for the following challenges:-
  1. Krafty Chicks - challenge No. 658 - STAMP ACT

We have had a houseguest for a few days, he's no trouble at all though, like us, it's been a while since he's seen a hedgehog ... we caught him growling at our night time visitor  so called him in so that our hedgie could go about his/her business in peace.



I was a lucky TOP3 winner over at Country View Crafts for March, thanks so much peeps.

The lighthouse is so beautiful and gorgeous card! And how fun to find a hedgehog. Many years ago I found one in our garden (when I was a child) such a fun memory and the reason for my love of hedgehog stamps :) They make me smile!
Thank you so much for joining in at my Crafty Wednesday challenge!

Another beautiful nautical card Kathy, I hope your commissionee will have them all, I would find it hard to choose with such a wonderful bunch of cards. What a lovely dog, and great to see you have a hedgehog visiting your garden. x
