Don't you just love summer days feasting on strawberries and cream? I wonder how many more days of summer we shall be enjoying - the children go back to school soon and I expect Autumn will then be just around the corner. Here is a summery card to cheer up the grey day we are having here in Bridgnorth today. I've used my tailor Made Tags and mini Cut 'n' Emboss machine again and I have adorned my tag with some images from the Sweet Strawberry stamp set. I do love this set  - I think i love it just as much as I love munching on the real thing! I am entering this card into the following two challenges: Happy Little Stampers Anything Goes with a Die Color My Heart Color Dare Opposite colours on the colour wheel ( I have used red and green) Thanks for stopping by today - hope to see you again soon - J xx    I am a Stampin' Up Demonstrator - if you would like to purchase any of the items you have seen in my post or the catalogue in the side bar - please get in touch.

The new Annual Catalogue has been live for a while now but I'm only just starting to play with my new stamps. Gone are the days when upon receiving a parcel I would tear it open, drag it all out and play with each and every item. Now the items are neatly stacked on my shelves and have to wait patiently till I have to time to use them.

Another new product that I used was the Tailor Made Tags These tags are so versatile and can be used as a focal point or just for a simple sentiment - I can see myself using these time and time again. Also they are perfect for using with the mini

 Good morning, it's been a long time since my last post! My mum has Alzheimer's and it's been a bit of a struggle. So bad that in early July I suffered a breakdown. Thankfully I contacted the right people for help and I have been slowly getting myself better. I have some lovely carers who look after mum five nights a week and I am now having some day care care - today is the first Tuesday morning and I have four lovely hours to myself. While I was recovering however a small heart problem was picked up and I have been diagnosed with Atrial Fibrillation so time to myself is doubly important now. Not much crafting has been done except a little beading and knitting - things I can do next to mum. She's not very happy with me and makes me feel extremely guilty for leaving her with a carer but I am determined that I am going to do some papercrafting again! I do hope you are still out there as I am hoping to start sharing my creations again. I also have a Facebook page so you c
