I hope you are all enjoying some sunshine where you live - it's been just lovely here this last few days (after the very wet, cold windy fiasco of Good Friday) We had a lovely walk right over the hills with the dog yesterday then ate lunch outside at a little cafe in the village on the way back - it's just amazing what a little sunshine can do to cheer you up!
I hope our challenge at
Fab'n'Funky Challenges
will also cheer you up!
Here's my card using Summer holiday from Dr Digis house of stamps
A close up of the sentiment tag
"What you do today is important
Because you are exchanging a day of your life for it"
My youngest son Tom asked me to make a card for him to give to his brother Matthew - it's actually his birthday next week but we are celebrating it today as he is going back up to Edinburgh today where he moved last year. It's been lovely to see him over the Easter holidays and he's enjoyed having his washing, ironing and cooking done for him while he's been home!!! He starts a new job next Monday and has to go off on a training course in Nottingham so he's flying down there on Sunday evening- he doesn't half get himself about!! - so this card sort of suits him at the moment - always off somewhere -He just came back from Berlin last week where he went to do the Berlin half marathon and have his annual reunion with his housemates from Uni. It was his first big run and he really enjoyed it, He raised about £200 in sponsor money for SCOPE (his brother Tom has Cerebral palsy, so it is a charity close to his heart) -and had a great experience running through the streets of Berlin.
Anyway - back to the challenge!
