Gingham Girlie

How did it get to be Thursday evening already?!!  I've been off work all week, and the weather has co-operated beautifully and it's been sunny and glorious ... I've been to the beach twice, sorted out the pots in the garden (and spent a small fortune in the garden centre oops!), and then tomorrow we're off to visit the new Titanic Belfast exhibition that we've been meaning to go to for aaaages.

The weather has been so good I haven't had much time for cardmaking!  This little girl was still knocking round my table from a card I made last week, so she got another inking.  Paper pieced her outfit and coloured the rest with pencils.  My fancy border is a sadly neglected Tim Holtz border die.  Martha Stewart butterfly punch.

    Lovely card, Lynne. Ruby looks to be really enjoying herself at the beach - something we miss out on in Fermanagh! Have a great day at the Titanic exhibition - it's well worth a visit.

    Yay Ruby! Super cute card, I always love a nice bit of gingham. I work in a place called Netherton - which is where the anchor for the Titanic was made. The locals are very proud and there is a scale replica in the High Street. Jo x

    Guess who is back, finally? Yep, it's me.

    Awwwwwww is right! I just love your Ruby. If I was getting another dog, it would be a Ruby.

    Your card is darling. I love the gingham and how you paper pieced her outfit to match the bg.
