Cheryls card

Hello Lovelies - I hope you are well - I am hoping that the forecast for an improvement in the weather is going to be right too - its so cold and wet!! Sounds pretty much like its countrywide too! Thanks for your comments on yesterdays post - today I have another card to share with you! This is one I made for my friend Cheryl - she was leaving the school we both used to teach at. She loves Audrey Hepburn so I used a stamp my lovely mum bought for me a while ago at Bolton.


Its a red rubber stamp. I used black archival ink to stamp with. Its a very simple card but Cheryl was thrilled with it.


I've got a few more pictures to share with you now fro our holiday - todays pictures focus around food.



Most lunch times we were in the hotel complex we had pizza around the pool ...



followed by icecream!!!


In the evening meal at the main hotel restaurant I always partook of three puddings - they were really yummy and so very pretty too - it would have been rude not to. You gotta love all inclusive!!! It might explain why the run I did yesterday was so very difficult! Lol!!!!

Enjoy your wednesday - I'm hoping to get the hedges cut today - but if not I'm sure we'll think of something!

Big hugs

Rachel xx

    OH MY, Those pastries look heavenly!

    Your Audrey card is perfect for Cheryl. I think Audrey Hepburn always had such a classic elegance. What a fabulous stamp!

    Lol, I have just been reading a blog where desserts are eaten as a first course - a great idea I think - the ones you had look fabulous.

    I love that Audrey Hepburn stamp and you have used it beautifully on this card for your friend. Hugs, Anne xx
