Sunflower Wishes......

 Do you ever stumble across a sentiment stamp and build a card around it?
I often do that, this is quite an old stamp of mine by Inkadinkadoo and I spotted it lying around and all of a sudden it was imperative to use it! I love the font......


So I used this daisy type flower stamp from the Rosie Posie set, I think the sequins look a bit like seeds....I stacked the leafy stem one on top of another so that it made the tall stem of a sunflower....


It's another bank holiday weekend here in the UK - amazing how quickly they come around when you are not going out to work and longing for a long weekend break. When you retire, days sort of merge into each other, and I'm sorry to say that Bank Holidays are a bit of an inconvenience really. I can predict confidently that on the Saturday of a bank holiday weekend I suddenly realize that I need my hair cut/go to the doctor/go to the bank on Monday. This weekend it was the hair disaster that struck. How can that happen? One day your hair is fine, falls perfectly into place when you blow dry it, the next day, something has happened overnight and you can't do a thing with it.

I still can't tell you about my new job. No fault of mine, but I am itching to get started now.

See you tomorrow and have a lovely long weekend if you are in the UK x

  2. Love the card.
    Bank holiday weekends never work well for me. I work full-time & have care responsibilities so a normal weekend is never long enough for some of the home tasks I need to complete but you can bet that anything that requires more than a day to complete outside will be scuppered by our wonderful British weather. The fence needed staining but we have had 3 days of rain and although it is sunny today, the wood is wet and there isn't enough time to get it all done...ho hum.

  9. I thought I was the only one with those hair issues! I have suffered with "I need my hair cut ... today... now..." LOL That's the reason that Don first cut my hair! .He got tired of the whining. Lol and he does a pretty good job too! He used to cut his daughters hair when they were young.
    Love the card, and that font is cute. I, too, build cards around sentiments or images in my head. I never know where they come from. Have a good day, and hair cut tomorrow. Hugs, Jess
