Xandra Says "Thank You"

Good morning all. Whilst today's card is not grey and miserable like the weather here in Southampton at the moment, it does feature a fantastic umbrella which I think I will be fairly envious of should I dare to venture outside the comfort of the house!

Isn't she adorable?! She's called Xandra and she is one of the characters created by the fantastically talented Mayzy Art. I have a real soft spot for these images (as you have probably guessed!), so expect to see them pop up frequently :o)

Take a Deep Breath...

... and think of me, taking very deep breaths! Yes folks, today I have an autobiographical card to share with you - I've started running! Since I got my ridiculous new job a year ago, I've put on about a stone. Clearly, I'm not happy about this and neither are my clothes....especially my trousers and skirts! I don't want to give up nice food (aside from craft shopping, it's my only real vice), so the only other option is to up the exercise. So, next time you wake up after a nice long lie-in, think of me... red faced and puffing away!

I have to say, I really do love this card. Not sure if it is the colour combo or the amazing image that do it for me (did I mention recently that I love Mayzy Art images?!), but I just can't help smiling when I look at it. If only all cards fell together this easily, eh?

Delicious Digi....!

Are you enjoying the rain?! I fear it may be my fault though... we bought a BBQ on Good Friday and it really hasn't stopped raining ever since! Even my Dad is begging us to take it back to the shop :o) 

The good thing about rain though is that it gives you lots of guilt-free time for crafting and online craft shopping! During my time craft shopping, I stumbled across a fantastic digi image store with images which are right up my street - Mayzy Art. Here is a little something I made the other day....

I really enjoyed making this card. It took me no time at all to colour, but hours upon hours to decide on the layout as I must have changed my mine.... ooh.... approximately 15,000 times!
