Sunday Sketch and Stamp #19 & A Blog Award

Hello there. Glad you found time to visit me here in my little niche in blogland. It's great to have you visit. I hope you find something to make your visit worthwhile.
I made this card for the current Sunday Sketch and Stamp challenge. They provided a fantastic sketch to follow and I hope you like my interpretation of it. I inked up the Lili of the Valley "Bunnies in Love". I think it's one of the cutest stamps around and I coloured it using my Polychromos Pencils. The paper is both sides of "Old Olive" papers by Stampin Up and the mounts are pale green Bazzil. I used an MS Arch border punch on one edge and the embellishments are from my stash. I have also used Glimmer Mist iredescent gold.
I enjoyed making this card so I hope you like it enough to take the time to leave a comment. I get such a lot out of reading what you have to say and it helps me to know what you think works or doesn't work.

A BLOG AWARD


I have been given this blog award by my friend Mandy at Crafty Fox Cards. I am really thrilled with this one because I'd never seen it before. Thank you very much Mandy.
Now for the difficult bit. The conditions for accepting this are that I tell you 10 things that give me pleasure and pass it on to 10 blogging friends. That wasn't too difficult because Mandy had given it to some of the people I would have had in my shortlist so some of the heartache of having to choose between people was taken away.
Right 10 things that bring me pleasure:
  1. My best friend for 40 years, my husband.
  2. Our 2 Sons and Daughters in law.
  3. Our 3 Grandchildren.
  4. Our extended family on boths sides - we are all very close.
  5. Christian Friends
  6. Cardmaking
  7. Blogging friends
  8. Reading comments they leave.
  9. The garden in Summer.
  10. A tidy house

The ten people I want to pass this on to are:

I am grateful for your taking the time to visit and I hope you will have a pleasant day in whatever you choose to do.
Hugs,
