Flower Brolly

Hi friends and fellow bloggers.  Thanks for popping by; I appreciate your visit.  I can't believe it's ten days since my last post.  It's been rather a frantic time but hopefully things are starting to get back to some form of normality.

My card is very simple because my brain appears to have hibernated and inspiration is slow to come.  I have used an LOTV image from the Cute Cottage Garden art pad and die cut it with JustRite Vintage Labels 4. The papers are from Creative Cardmaking magazines and matted onto some plain toning paper from my bit box,  The lace and pink ribbon are also just scraps left over. The butterflies are Flystickers from Hobbycraft and the pink gems are from my stash.

Hopefully I will get round to visiting your blogs now.  I'm looking forward to seeing what you have been up to .

Hi Christine
Nice to have you back.
Love the papers and image. I know what you mean, that's why I admire those who post everyday as I know I couldn't come up with that many ideas.
Have a great day.

I would like to have such an umbrella filled up with flowers. It looks a bit like spring and I wish the season had begun. It's raining again and again....!

I don't think it matters if you post once a day or once a month to be honest Christine - we don't need the pressure - it has to be a pleasure. This card is beautiful and well worth waiting for - love the papers and I want to pick the umbrella up and smell those gorgeous flowers!!!

Lots of hugs to you both Sue Pxxx

Hi Christine,
so lovely to see you posting again.
We all need a break now and then, to catch up on all those mundane things we have to do. As Sue says it isn't written in blood anywhere how many times you should post. You just please your self if your creativity and time allows.
Now to your lovely card it's very pretty. The LOTV image is so lovely, and your colour scheme is fab.
Lots of crafty love. Jenny L.
