TGIF - and a spot of jetlag!

Morning readers, 

If you've swung by expecting to see a make for the Rudolph Day/Christmas challenges then ... my apologies. I've been away and didn't get round to making any Christmas cards!!!

However, I've a make to share with you today ....... no stamping! - but I DID use a punch, first time in ages!

My C6 card
Materials used:
  • White, 250gsm, C6 card and matching envelope
  • Card in white and grey, for my card front, insert and matting
  • Snippets of card in shades of blue - along with a small snippet of Designer Paper (DCWV) from which I punched my flower
  • EK Success punch
  • Self adhesive glittered "droplet"


I'll be entering the above make for the following challenges:-
  1. Krafty Chicks - challenge No. 665 - ALL OCCASIONS
  2. Love to Craft - challenge No. 74 - ANYTHING GOES
  3. Penny's Paper Crafty - challenge No. 547 - ANYTHING GOES
  4. Ellibelle's Crafty Wednesday - May challenge - ANYTHING GOES
  5. Try It On Tuesday - May 16th challenge - KEEP IT SIMPLE

And, since I'm recently back from vacation, I'd love to share a few pix with you so, pull up a chair and enjoy some Florida sunshine ......

Of course, it isn't ALWAYS sunny in the sunshine state and, when it rains, it RAINS!


Developing in to a lovely sunset

Out for a walk and spotted some unusual wildlife, don't normally see the raccoons out during daylight hours, or quite so cheeky!



Even watched a bit of the coronation of King Charles III on TV - hard to believe we're now in the third Carolean era!


We enjoyed some lovely meals in interesting restaurants

Manny's Chop House

As you might imagine, I took more pix but I will be sharing them over the next few posts! If you enjoyed these then I hope you will stop by tomorrow too. Thanks for looking

Love how you combined items with straight lines and finished off with a simple flower for curves. Nicely done and the design can be used for almost any occasion. Thanks for joining our challenge at Try it on Tuesday!
