Oh my gosh! I cannot tell you how busy I have been this week! All good, of course, but I shall be glad to get a little break after the weekend! Not that I'm having any time off, but things look a little quieter next week (for now!)
So here is one of the (very) last minute commissions I was asked to make. I got an email Wednesday morning about this card, and it went in the post Thursday morning!
The lady who ordered the card for her husband sent me this quote to work around, so I thought it would look nice in a frame. I created the layout of the sentiment in MDS and printed it in Basic Black. I then cut it out with one of the Hearts Collection Framelits, and then I cut a frame using 2 framelits, off setting them slightly.
The background is embossed with Pretty Print (who says it's just for Christmas?!) and the DSP is the downloadable for MDS Wild Wasabi. I finished with a button made using Simply Pressed Clay and one of the useful moulds. I do love these handmade buttons...they are so light so don't add weight to your card - handy when posting!

Colour Q - #208 (I have CASEd this gorgeous card by Silke)
We have our coffee morning at work for Macmillan today so last night I was baking like crazy for it! Here are my treats...
This is one of my Sticky Toffee cupcakes, with Salted Caramel buttercream topping...they really are sooooo yummy!
I found the recipe here. I've actually made about 30 of them!
These are my very easy, and very scrummy Blueberry Muffins.
This recipe was here.
I forgot how much I enjoyed baking...I think I may be doing it more often! Oooops...there goes the diet! ;)
Have a lovely Friday!
This looks so elegant :)
