Well what can i say about the weather !! - we even had a thunderstorm on Wednesday, today is sunny and cloudy !! I've had a busy week - H had a party on Wednesday and my phone wouldn't ring out or let me text - I'm on the Tesco network and they obviously use O2, i must confess i was a little nervous, as i was unable to get hold of Alan (he works in the city), then on Thursday we went to pick up Alan's motorbike and went to H's sports day (he did very well in the javelin (foam ones) and goal scoring), luckily the rain held off.
Today's image is one of those that makes me think of summer, sitting on a garden swing with the birds chirping around me - the papers are Basic Grey 'Porcelain', the sketch gave me a good excuse to have a play with Memory Box 'Woven Circle', the flowers and border punch are Stampin Up punches, i've distressed the image so it blends in better with the green border.

Oh wow, this is so gorgeous. I looked at the sketch and it didn't grab me but these papers and dies are wonderful, so soft, well done you.
Hi Sam I do love your card it's so perfect and I just adore this Penny Black image. I do love your colours and design papers together and your added embellishments. This card works together beautifully especially with the circles. I'm loving those memory box circles I haven't seen them before. Great card and thanks so much for sharing it with us at Sweet Sketch Wednesday this week and good luck.
