Playtime at my mums

Hello Lovelies! How are you? I hope you are fine and well. I wonder if you had the rain that we had yesterday. It was a very wet afternoon - and we were in Morecambe at a funfair! Oh joy! Perfect weather for it!!

I want to share a card with you today - made at my mums house last week using some of the new sheena christmas dies and stamps:


I thinks the pine cones are particularly effective.



The holly would have taken forever to cut out!


Love this pine cones



This was from an earlier release but is from Sheena! 

I enjoyed this little play and am pleased with the outcome! 

I would like to enter this into the following challenges:

craftyhazelnutschristmaschallenge-two-of-something two plants - holly and pine

sirstampalotchallenge august-challenge-anything-goes-with stamp and a die

The girls are off to Mad science this week so I'm hoping to get a few miles under my belt - I can't push it too much though as I have plantar fasciitus - joggers heel! Very painful but curiously it goes whilst running! Something to do with endorphins apparently. Anyway - I'm hoping to do a 8 and 1/2 miler today. Not so long now until the Great North. 

Whatever you're doing enjoy yourself!

Big hugs Rachel xx

    Beautiful card, Rachel. The pine cones make it extra special, for sure. No rain for us...bone dry but not very hot either. So I'm not complaining... much! :)
