Another lovely warm weekend

It is another lovely warm weekend here in the UK, and tonight we enjoyed a retirement party of a good friend who cruises the canals with Michael. Good company, excellent food and a super live band, even if it proved somewhat noisy.
Tomorrow will be a hectic day as one of my grand daughters is arriving from Scotland to stay for a week during the school holidays. I have been frantically cleaning my craft room so we can make up a bed for her in there. Not that she will mind, as this grand daughter is very craft minded and I shall more than likely find her sat at my desk making a few cards! Today I made a very simple card using a dry embossing folder, with white card and a stamp I recently acquired as a freebie from a stamping magazine.

Lucky you to have a sweet granddaughter who can share your craft with you. Love your card and more luck in winning such a beautiful stamp. Your crisp embossed background was the perfect canvas for this little beauty. Enjoy your visit & some quality fun crafting time. TFS

Congratulations to you & your country (And to the Happy Family). What a special day of joy when a new baby arrives. I'm sure the Grands are ecstatic as well. My guess of some possible names would be Charles, Arthur, Phillip & I've also read that George might be a possible choice. Whatever the parents choose, he's going to be a blessed little boy. What a fun idea for a post.
