Away for the weekend.

Back a little later in the day than I planned but I had to do some shopping and was out all day, then had to prepare for tomorrow evening as it is my turn for the cards. We are off to the Harrogate flower show on Thursday then to Ireland for the weekend on Friday. It is our grandson's Birthday Party, he will be 6, so we are going to join in the fun. Hopefully some pictures when we get back.

There was some sad news when I spoke to my son on Sunday, the fox had got to the fowls and killed 8, the 'boss' cockerel, 2 drakes, 3 more cockerels and 2 hens. It's almost a year since they last lost any to the fox so they have been lucky but that doesn't make it any easier. Dominic, our grandson, was very upset as he was very fond of the 'boss' he had named him Pablo.

I have a few cards made so I am going to try and be a bit adventurous and schedule some posts for while we are away, never done it before so anything could happen. I will find out when I get back.

Here's one for today

If you remember I did a fake Marquetry card for the workshop in woodgrain DSP, I really liked it so thought I would try it in plain CS. I used Perfect Plum for the background and Pretty in Pink for the die cut and sentiment. You can see the lovely ready pleated ribbon which will be available in the Summer Mini Catalogue from 1 May, also the sentiment is cut with one of the Framelits dies also in the mini. It's not obvious on the pic but I outlined the 'flower' with a glitter gel pen, also the swirls on the diecut and went over the sentiment with it as well.

Now I'm going to try my hand at scheduling, so come back tomorrow and see if I've succeeded!!!!!
If there's nothing here then it's all gone terribly wrong.

Back soon.
