Thanks cherry much!

(Sorry, couldn't resist it!)
I won some of these glittery chipboard fruits aaaages ago and had no idea what to do with them ... but when I saw the sketch from CPS they immediately came to mind.  Wish I could get a better pic, they're fabulously sparkly!

A birthday card for Ruby

...nah, not really (but probably because we don't know when her birthday is)  Maybe I'll let her sniff her card just in case it is! Though I'm sure she wouldn't turn her nose up at a big chocolate cake like this!
This card uses an oldie stamp from Pink Gem Designs - coloured with promarkers and loads of stickles added, along with clear gloss to the cake plate.

Oh and before I go, what do you think of this rose in my garden ... some of the flowers are white, some are red and some are both!  How clever is that!!

Jam Jar Flowers

Well, as predicted, the Bank Holiday weather was decidedly average!  We took ourselves off to the garden centre earlier and it lashed out of the heavens, couldn't even get out to look at the plants!  So we came home and I made some cards in between tackling the mountain that had become my ironing stack!

This is another oldie image from Cornish Heritage Farm - coloured with promarkers and clear glaze added to the jam jar.  Central pink flower popped up on dimensionals.  Pearls coloured with promarkers to match.
