Milk and Biscuits


Please click for a better veiw
At last a nice day,and a day to myself,been busy at my gardening job. I think it's too much,3 acres and lots and lots of weeds. I've got 3 big sore mosquito bites and I'm aching.My lovely Hubby came and helped me with the heavy work. I think I've done a great job so far but the man who owns the house didn't even notice ,rich number crunching types are an enigma to me ,I do pretty and creative ok!
On a possitive note I had my hair cut yesterday,back to a bob , I love long hair but mine isn't as thick as it was so is better shorter.

Onto my card,featuring a very under used ,by me, Lili of the valley stamp,it's called milk and biscuits. I loved that as a kid,it's more wine and olives now...lol...
I've coloured with promarkers in colours to match the papers,they are fine and dandy by my minds eye.
I've used a martha stewart punch,nestie circles and added pearls and bunting for an outdoor Summer look.

The crazy challenge : recipe : I used twine,die, punches,pearls.

Goegeous papers and fab colours. You've matched them perfectly in the image - the bunting is a great embellishment.
Hope the gardening job becomes a bit easier as you get to grips with the weeds. I always think you can work for days on the borders and it doesn't show - then along comes someone who cuts the grass and the whole place is transformed.
