White with a touch of red

Hello lovely crafters. 
In an attempt to regain some sort of crafty mojo, I've resorted to a card layout which I used to use often. Quite simple but always works.



 This was inspired by 52CCT



 and Merry Monday photo inspiration:

I chose the hanging decorations
I can also hop over to Pixie's Snippets Playground as I've used a few snippets ~ card and thread.

Our weeks holiday was perfect, thank you for asking  :) 
We had a few days out but also remodelled our kitchen. We have new worktops and have covered some wall tiles, which were not to our taste, with wood cladding. Then I painted the cupboard doors so it all looks very smart and chic. 
There were certainly days when even making a piece of toast became a mental exercise but most things are back to normal now. 
We still have woodwork and walls to paint but we completed phase 1, a new sink, about a year ago so we'll get round to it. I won't be able to spend so much time outside as Autumn draws in so I'll have to do decorating instead (or stamping).

  10. This is beautiful Alison and I love the embossing across the centre of the card and then that line of little decorations in the red accented with pearls looks just perfect. x

  11. Goregous CAS card. Love the splashes of red with the baubles. I'd plump for the stamping myself. Don't get on well with big paint brushes!!!! Hugs Mrs A.
