Spring into spring

Morning girls

The weekend is here at last.  Is it too early for a wine do you think?  I could do with a bottle or two this morning lol.  Totally got out of bed the wrong side so I'll get right to me card.

It's for the new challenge on Polka Doodles.  Our theme this week is

SPRING COLOURS

I found a fab template, well lots of them over on Mel Stampz and couldn't resist this gorgeous little gift bag.

Easy to do too.  I printed my paper from  Pen and Paper kit 5, flipped it over and printed the PDF onto the other side, cut it out and put it together.  I honestly couldn't believe how quick it was to do.

The cute honey bee and sentiment are from the Sugarplum Fairy CD.  Again a quick print and stick.

All in all I'd the whole thing done in under an hour.  Now that's my kinda crafting!!!

Happy weekend

Have you got your canoes and wellies at the ready?  OMG is been so wet here.  Torrents and torrents of the wet stuff have been pouring from the sky for at least 36 hours and there is no sign of it letting up.  The weather man has certainly said it's raining!!!

Anyway let's get onto my card for today.

How cute is this?

hello there

We got sunshiiiiiiiine on a cloudy day

Right, enough of me singing I'll put you off visiting forever but I'm keeping me fingers and toes crossed that at long last we'll get a few good days in a row.  Is it just me who's fed up with our British weather?  The hubster and I were talking the other night about how when we were (cough) younger at this time of year we were out and about in our summer gear getting the rays and enjoying a bit of sunshine.  How time and climates change eh?

Today's card is one I made last week but didn't get around to showing you yet.
