The best thing about football!

Well…I’ve had a fantastic day today!   Forest’s bid to make the playoffs this season, took all the boys off to watch the match today….and with my youngest having a whale of a time with her grown up cousins (well, grown up to her at a big girl 10 and 12 years old)…I’ve had the whole day for crafting and chatting…yay! (what do you mean “what about the washing..?”).


IMG_9480It all started with a fabulous frame class with my upliner, Victoria, Linby, Shazza and Tracy.  Nice to meet you all, ladies.  So much fun!  And how impressive is Victoria’s stash!  It was like I’d died and gone to Stampin’ Up heaven.  Thanks for a fab morning, Victoria!  And I’m loving my frame…it’ll have pride of place in my soon-to-be craft room.Smile
So straight from Victoria’s to Phill’s for a catch up…cos he’s been on
holiday….which was lovely!  Nice to have you back, Phill Smile.

And finally, time to sit down and make a card for the ‘ Less is More’ challenge this week….it couldn’t get better!  So what better card to make then a “thank you”.  I'm entering this in the 'Just Add Ink' challenge too....this week we need to 'Just add a flower'.

IMG_9477I was inspired by the Stampin’  Up website for this.  It uses Cherry Cobbler as the card blank with a square of Crumb Cake (with distressed edges) as the backing to the greeting from ‘Just Believe’.  I’ve used sizzix leaves and have trimmed with gorgeous organza ribbon.

Thanks for the class, Victoria.  Thanks for the chat, Phill and thanks for the challenge, Mandi and Chrissie…..ahhhhh!  What a great start to the weekend.
