New Home card - I was out yesterday

.........at a friend's where there is a HUGE wedding on Friday, the one I made the invitations for. The sun shone for us in the garden, we had a lovely lunch, talked for ages plus the groom's Mum (my friend Joy) and Sybil, the Groom's Grandmother, (who is a fabulous lady, I want her to adopt me!) both showed off their wonderful outfits and such brilliant hats too. You couldn't help but be caught up in the excitement :))

Must make a Wedding card PDQ here!!

But, I did find time to make a card before I got in the car and hit the road for lunch:
As always on a Saturday, as I'm gearing up for the Snippets Roll call, a quick and easy card.

I used:

- KanBan card called ''Stone Wall', from Hobbycraft in with another one I was after - I just measured to DL and folded it

- topper bits also from a different KanBan set

When I got home, The Head Gardener had been at work - I'm not even asking why, but these roses were on the patio table:
I do suspect that someone went a bit mad with the strimmer - but even so, with a glass of wine waiting and a sheepish grin what can you do? Snort, especially if they're in a huge Gherkin Jar with the label still on...............and Len smiles so nicely I had to giggle!

  2. It sounds like you really know Len... and he knows it! What a fancy jar he used. If you are looking for a date night movie, take Len and see "Hope Springs" A chick flick, but a funny and serious movie. I loved it. My honey will watch it when it comes out on video. Geez, what a romantic he is.

    Your card is lovely....but then they always are.

  6. Fabulous card Di. Those roses are beautiful, bless Len. At least you got the roses AND a glass of wine. I wouldn't have even known - Trev would have just binned the flowers and hoped I didn't notice!!
    Have a fabulous weekend.
    Hugs

  8. Do you know I didn't realise that this was a card at first I thought it was a photo of the friends house you'd been to. Fabulous card, great image.
    Well your Head gardener is better than mine, he was out in the garden this afternoon and when I went out he said he had dug the pea's up, I said well there were still some on, no there wasn't came the reply BUT I know there was.
    You really can't let them loose can you!
