So Very Grateful for the sunshine

I love the colour yellow - it's the colour of sunshine! To make today's cards I used Stampin' Up's So Very Grateful stamp set from the spring/summer catalogue to stamp a whole sheet of Naturals Ivory card stock with flowers and then coloured them in using yellow markers. This is a very therapeutic activity and you end up with pretty floral card stock!

I used mine to make this vintage-style card. The delicate scallop trim is one of the decorative blades you can use when you convert the Stampin' Trimmer into a rotary cutter with the rotary addition.

I loved the way the curvy banner from Itty Bitty Banners looked with the vintage-style flowers.

Here's a slightly different design made using the same goodies - the one sheet wonder technique is perfect for making a whole set of cards as a gift.

We've been in beautiful Somerset over the weekend and enjoyed plenty of sunshine. On Sunday it was May 4th, or Star Wars day as my boys like to call it (as in may the fourth be with you!) How very apt then that we lunched in the ancient Ship Inn at Porlock and were seated in an area that had framed Star Wars posters on the wall!

I know, Star Wars posters and this beautiful building wouldn't appear to mix would they?! We had an excellent roast lunch there though and the staff were friendly and helpful, so we'll definitely go back.

See you tomorrow,
