Tulip card and a fab day to look forward to

Good morning everyone. I hope you haven't got the dreaded snow yet. It seems hell bent on disrupting our crafting get together tomorrow, as two of our number have to travel from the Peak District, but I'm keeping everything crossed that can be crossed! There will be 7 of us all gathering at our friend Pauline's and there will hopefully be the obligatory bacon butties followed by some retail therapy before we settle down to an afternoon of crafting, much chinwagging and lots of laughter, followed by dinner (Pauline is a wonderful cook) before we all go our separate ways  :o)

Anyhow, onto my card which is very simple indeed.

The tulip photograph is one I took many moons ago and I just happened to find, in my stash, the perfect colour pearlised paper to go with it. Tulip and mat cut with Nellie Snellen die, Foliage band is from a Memory Box die and the sentiment is from an SU set, Brilliance inkpad, finished off with three gems from stash. 

I will be back in the week to let you know how our get together went :o)

Not too sure about this one.....

.....it's a bit loud for me!

Good morning everyone. It's been raining overnight but we have some pale blue sky so far this morning, fingers crossed it stays that way.

Right, onto my card which is a bit OTT for me LOL

I designed the doily in SCAL and cut it with the Cricut, then cut the middle out with a Nestie and replaced it with a Nestie cut sentiment from Papermania. Poinsettias are Marianne Designs diecuts and Nellie Snellen punched. Background is mirri card embossed with Cuttlebug folder. I can't remember what I cut the holly leaves with, I found them languishing in a box of bits :o)
