Hot, Hot, Hot

WOW what a spell of glorious weather we are having, I love being out enjoying the sun and as a result not much crafting being done.  We also had a week at Killin in the caravan, a lovely break for me, hubby and the dogs.  Speaking of dogs, Shaolin, my lovely older dog was having problems walking, he has a badly fitting hip which flares up now and then, he had an Xray at our local Vets and they referred him to a specialist to have a more intense Xray.  Nothing really showed up except he has an extra vertebrae and a spare rib none of which is causing his pain.  He has to loose 3kg by the end of September and then if he has not improved may require a MIR scan.  So we are all on diet with him, fingers crossed it works as vet fees are not cheap, thank goodness for insurance as the first set of Xrays cost £189.00 and the other £645.00 which hopefully is covered.

I was asked on Tuesday to make a quick engagement card for my neighbour, Leigh, and this is what I came up with.

Sorry about the quality of the photo I forgot to take a photo of it and had to rush over to Leigh's before she passed it on to the recipient. Caught the late evening sun in the background. 

I used an 8 x 8 card, the heart was cut out from a file for Silhouette Cameo which I purchased from their online store for 75 cents 50p in our money.  I cut an offset in silver mirror and matted and layered some white and silver mirror card. The sentiment was typed on PC and I added some flower from Wild Orchid Crafts and a few pearls, and there you are a lovely (at least I love it) quick card.

Because I had not posted for a while I received an email from Patricia http://patricia-

summerhousecrafts.blogspot.co.uk asking if I was Ok.  It was so lovely hearing from her and I assured her everything was fine.

That's it for now take care.
