rain rain go away...

Good morning everyone, I hope your having better weather than we are it has been raining here for three days and I'm beginning to feel a bit soggy lol...now I know the British weather is crackers sometimes and we here have been know to have all four seasons in one day but come on enough is enough and surely everything has been watered enough now...so rain rain go away...I took delivery of a new gadget for myself yesterday and cant wait to show you all but that will have to wait until another day but there's still no sign of Phil's birthday pressie despite loads of assurances that it would be here...they have until today then I'm going to get him something else...anyway on to my card for today which is for the Sugar Nellie DT and using this beautiful new stamp called Cute and Cuddly from the new July release and boy aren't they cute and cuddly, they are just perfect for a baby card aren't they...I coloured them with distress inks and teamed them up with this gorgeously yummy paper from Making Memories called Animal Crackers Jack animals....isn't it perfect for them...I finished with some of my very favourite glittered puffed thickers letters and lush striped ribbon, I also cut out one of the elephants from the papers and attached it at the top...the fab sketch is from Truly Scrumptious challenge and I'm sure there was another challenge I was meant to enter this for but my brain cells are waterlogged lol...I'm off out for coffee with my wonderful Dad today...have a wonderful day and wherever you are I hope the sun shines on you

    Your wish for the sun to shine has worked because the sun has been shining some of the day here in Yorkshire. Can you wish us sun for tomorrow as well, please?!

    Hi Mina. Really sweet baby card. Lovely soft colours and adorable image. Think we are definitely due some sunshine, feels like winter it is that wet and cold. Hope you enjoyed your coffee with your dad. Donna
