Saturday Dawns!

Another week just flown past!
Busy now getting sorted for the first of my 'duty' trips away this summer - we're off to Cornwall tomorrow for a game on Monday then on to Devon Tuesday, Gloucester Wednesday, Oxford Thursday and home Thursday night. Shall probably lie in bed all day Friday!
I'm told that you DO get used to the travelling about and it's quite exciting visiting all these different places and meeting lots of different people I think so although am a little apprehensive of my first 'official duties' am quite looking forward to it too.

Enough of the waffling - a shabby card from me to share today - made from a paper stack I won in a challenge win over at the Playground - (I still haven't bought any new papers you know - it's over a year - but why does the mountain in this room not get any smaller?????)

Anyway decided it was about time I got stuck into this new pad.
A really quick card this I suppose as I just let the pretty papers do the talking! Mounted onto dark red and cream cardstock.
A metal corner and a couple of pearls along with a scrap of lace and a tiny crochet doily with a paper flower as embellishments - and the butterfly was stamped in Versafine Sepia onto a scrap of paper - it's an Indigo Blu stamp. Used up another couple of sheets on the inside too!
So that's my post for today - thanks for having a look - will be popping along a little later to visit you all - in the meantime have a great day whatever you're doing! x

Hi Viv . . . GOOD LUCK for your first "duty" trip. It does sound a little daunting, but I'm sure it's nothing that you can't handle . . . being as awesome as you are, the trip is bound to be a resounding success mate.

I'm addicted to DPs and can't resist getting new pads from time to time even though I've got loads. I've started using my favorites first, as I don't want them to loose their charm or become unfashionable. Enough about me, I came over to look at your pretty card:) beautiful papers and vintage design!

Dark red and cream colors come together in such a sophisticated manner. All of the elements you used and created yielded an elegant card.
