Back from Holiday...and lots of cards to make!

Hi, Sorry for the delay in posting, we have just returned from a sunny and very hot week in Spain! It was great to have some family time with us all together for once, and very relaxing.  I loved all the colours around us and hopefully may be inspired in the near future to use some in a colour combo for a card.  This is the view from our roof top.  The resort was called Desert Springs in Andalucia.

Back to reality now and I have suddenly realised that I have 3 cards to make for the next few days, the first being a '21st' for our close friends son James.  I struggle with male cards and of course all the ones for the week are for men....this is what I designed for James, keeping it very simple, using Crumb Cake, very Vanilla, Night of Navy and Riding Hood Red cardstock, and the square lattice embossing folders. Numbers cut using the Sizzix Alphabet set from the Mini Catalogue, and sentiment stamped from the Perfect punches set ( a real favourite of mine!). Linen thread used as an accent.  Hope you have a wonderful day James!
