Summer Days

Good afternoon to all my friends and  followers. I hope that you are all well and  not too down with the dark miserable weather we seem to be having a lot at  the moment. It is good for staying in and  crafting but the light is terrible especially if you need to do photos. Anyway enough of that. today I'm posting another card made with a stamp I bought a while ago and had  never used its a LOTV stamp called Summer Days. I wish it really was Summer !!. Its such a pretty stamp but took a bit of colouring as its quite detailed in places. I decided on distressed inks for this one.

I have been to  South Shields today with Hubby to meet up with my friend Val who is staying at The Little Haven Hotel its a nice Hotel right on the sea but it was absolutely freezing. We had our lunch at a  place called The Custom House food was OK but very glamorised in the web photos never mind had a good long chat over a bottle of wine which we all enjoyed

 

I'm home alone tonight as Michael is going to the football so planning to catch up on comments and  do some crafting. Sounds good to me.

 

Enjoy your evening and the rest of the week. Thanks to you all for the fab comments on my recent  cards they are lovely and so appreciated.
