Jolly Nation

I completed the Jolly Nation cards which I started in the car on the way to Richmond on Friday and they are now on Ebay. The images are really cute and I’m sure you can relate to the people in them. There’s the teenager rock chick, the new home couple, the toddler. 

Miss Bennet and Mr Darcy - Pride and Prejudice

The card above reminded me of my A Level English literature days when I studied Pride and Prejudice. The opening lines will be etched in my mind forever, ‘It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune must be in want of a wife’.

We’ve had a particularly lazy day today with a walk to the local shops for some wine for gifts, lunch, couple of loads of washing, cleaning / tidying of house, tea, some cards on ebay and what do you know its nearly 21:00!

I’ve completed the comical large ladies images which I’ll get on the blog as soon as I’ve assembled them onto a card as they are really funny. You would have to know the recipient quite well to get away with sending them fat lady cards. I’ve had the images for ages as I bought them at the Papercraft Extravaganza in Harrogate a couple of year ago. On that subject I cant go to the September event as its on my first wedding anniversary and we’re staying at our wedding venue (free of charge due to problems we had with the arrangements). Whilst I’m looking forward to our night away I also look forward to my crafty trip away with my friend Sandra. You cant put craft before your husband – can you? Only kidding dear (as I know you read this).

I seem to be on a card making burst at the minute and outside of the Pandora mini book I completed last week I havent done any scrapbooking for ages and I really need and want to do our wedding and honeymoon pages. I’m sure I’ll get round to it soon.

Well I’m off to have a bath and watch Big Brother!

Goodnght
