I loved this card and so had to make my own version....

365 Cards: Day 77

This is the first time I've entered an international card challenge!  It's for 365 Cards using this sketch with the white area to be left clear of embellishments, etc.

Here's my take on it.

Butterflies

I found the most gorgeous set of cards and just had to do something similar for myself.  I used rainbow colours after seeing something similar on Pinterest and will add sentiments later.

Inspired by...

One of the blogs I love is Inspired By because of the variety of cardmakers Jill features.
These 2 cards were inspired by her post on 23 March featuring Aga.

A weekend away

I've just spent the weekend at the Chookscraps Retreat at Burekup which, as always was a fabulous time, mainly because I don't have to think about cooking or doing the washing up!!  I did miss Saturday afternoon and most of the evening because my lovely niece Kate and Dewald were married in the park at Dallyellup, on the south side of Bunbury.  After all the days over 30C we'd had it was a beautiful day in the high 20's.

I was really pleased to be able to make 2 cards and finish 2 single and 2 double layouts.

Christmas cards

This year I made some Christmas cards although I still don't know if I have enough but if not I'll have to resort to using bought ones from previous years.

So much for being more regular in posting!!  I had trouble with my laptop when I put down my cup of tea on a not-flat surface and it went all over it!  I'm not really happy with this one but with having Niel's available as well I'm getting by...

I have been trying to make a few more cards for a couple of friends to use.  One is a school chaplain and last Friday, which was World Teachers Day she gave each of the teachers one of my cards and she told me this morning at church that they were all very appreciative of them.  So not only were they encouraged but I am too.

I love Jennifer McGuire's work and have her blog bookmarked and in my feeds, just to make sure I don't miss anything! I was really inspired by this card and made my own version.  I changed the position of the butterflies to cover the words 'cannabis' and cannibal'!!  I added a punched border for a challenge at Chook Scraps.
