ATCAS - YOU MAKE MY HEART SING!

Hi lovely bloggers - hope you have had a good week, with more to come!

It's ATCAS challenge time again, and this fortnight's Code Word has

been chosen by our lovely Teamie, Harriet. The Code Word is .....

 I have used the SU "Music Notes" wheel for my DT card.

I stamped the Music Notes onto white card, punched the hearts with
the SU "Full Heart", and used the same punch for the red background hearts, then machine stitched down the centres.
Tiny heart stamp (very old), from Hobby Art.
Printed sentiment - computer generated. 
******
Does anyone else remember The Troggs from the 60's, and their
song "Wild Thing" (you make my heart sing)?

$25 to spend in their fabulous on-line store.

ORIENTAL LILIES

Hi there lovely bloggers! I have just taken a short break from preparing  projects for my upcoming craft class on Saturday - well it seems such a shame to be indoors during this beautiful weather doesn't it! Hubby and I were sat in the back garden, having a coffee, and the divine scent from the Oriental Lilies was wafting by, and I thought it would be nice to share a photo of the Lilies. 

(Don't say I never think of you)!  

We bought the original 4 bulbs 10 years ago, and they keep on multiplying and growing taller each summer. This year we bought them beautiful new, larger "homes" so they could thrive  - they are now over 6ft tall. (this pic. is from just one of the pots).

Isn't nature wonderful.

Hope you are all having a very happy week ~

Hugs,

I decided to go with a Christmas Holiday theme for my card. 
These  Xmas wreaths are very easy to make, and it's a great way to use up those snippets!

I punched a circle from cardstock, layered loads of holly leaves  
which  I punched from various papers and cardstock, some red "berries" and stars, a few white pearls and a large amount of glitter!

Other items used - bakers twine, a HOTP sentiment and glue!
