Candy Cane Friends

Hi,

I hope you are all enjoying the lovely weather here in the UK, I personally really struggle in the heat, so I have ordered myself a Dyson Tower Fan.

Today is the start of  Rudolph Days Challenge, you have from today, until the 30th June to enter, there is always a fabby prize on offer too.


I was fortunate enough to be sent this die as a gift from a lovely friend, thank you - but to start with I struggled to know what to do with it and also how to show off this gorgeous image, I hope what I have achieved, you like ?

Good Times

Hi,

I hope you are all well, since I last posted we have been on holiday to the Adriatic coast, where it was stunning, but very hot !! 29C - 33C, which is great if we were lazing on a beach, but not sightseeing !

Today's card was made for Alan (as it's Father's Day in the UK today), from Harrison and Clio. I got the inspiration from Simon Say's Stamp, when they sent me this video tutorial : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LHTEukiQnTA
