Have to say I'm proud of this one. The photo doesn't do it justice.

How to make a lace flower.
I've finished the wedding card which I'll put on later. I've decorated it with flowers, one of them I made with lace. I took a 6" piece of white lace stitched along the top with running stitch then pulled the thread to gather it. Then I stitched the two open ends together .......hey presto a flower. I added a gem to the centre. Really pretty and only took a minute.
Today
I've had a lovely lazy day.I needed it after shopping in town with Jeff & Kenny yesterday which I enjoyed. Spent most of my time just reading and getting ideas from some of the great blogs I follow. I also downloaded some really nice free digi stamps from some of the blogs. I have started a new card for my nephew and his future wife. They're getting married next month. I hope the sun shines for them on the day and for the rest of their lives together. Finally I got a lovely text from Emily to thank me for the birthday card I made her. She thought it was absolutely beautiful. That did wonders for my ego and confidence. Thanks Emily.

Birthday Card
I added my first attempt of Build A Blossom from La Pashe to this card. I think I may be hooked they're lovely and easy to make.

I'm back
I'm back now after eventually getting to Dubai. Imagine letting my passport expire! We had a great time with Paul and Kirsty just a pity about the humidity. It was so bad my glasses steamed up at times.
I've made a few more cards which I'll add here over the weekend. I also bought some Build A Blossom from La Pashe which I can't wait to do. I'll show them off when I've got round to making cards with them.

Update
I've really neglected my blog lately. I do have an excuse. I've been getting ready for our trip to Dubai to see our son & daughter-in-law. We should have been leaving today but unfortuately I stupidly forgot to check my passport until Fri. I was so shocked and surprised to find it was out of date. Never mind it should all be sorted out this week and a new flight has been arranged for next Sunday. I'll really need the holiday after all the stress of this weekend. Fingers crossed, no more hiccups.
