Another simple card. This year, except for the special cards for family and friends, I am trying to keep my cards simple - and flat as far as possible, although I did raise the topper with foam pads this time.
This Simply Print image from LOTV is one of my favourites. It always reminds me of my sister and I when we were children. I always had long hair whereas Jeanie's was short and mine was much fairer than hers. And we were always singing, both together and in a choir. Alas, memories are all I have now sadly, but they cannot be taken away.
This card is not due until tomorrow but as usual I am posting early to avoid clashing with a DT card on Sunday.
Well we finally had some rain yesterday evening - all three drops of it ... lol ! 😀 😁 It's like the Sahara Desert. I'm sure it will come eventually - I've been doing my rain dance every day but not worked so far.
We had a lovely day out yesterday with WI when we went to Marlow and Henley on Thames. We decided on a boat trip on the Thames at Henley assuming it would be cooler on the river but not so. But it was a great day all round with lots of laughs.
Well that's it for today. Enjoy your weekend.
Take care.
Very sweet card. We had about 10 drops of rain the other day, badly need more than that. Sounds like a lovely day out

ReplyDeleteHi Christine,
ReplyDeletebeautiful card yet again and that image has brought back fond memories for you.You and your sister sound just like me and mine only I was the dark haired one and my sister was the light haired one with short hair and I had the long hair.
We shared a bedroom and she was always singing and keeping me awake.
In those days I didn't sing much but now I love to sing especially carols.
Love the whole of this super card.
Lots of crafty love. Jenny L.
What a wonderful trove of memories you have about caroling with your sweet sister. What a lovely card you've made to remind you of these happy times. Love the blue & white, feels very 'cool', which I expect is quite a welcome feeling with the heat and no rain. So glad to hear you had a great river trip...hope there was at least a nice breeze - TFS & Hugs
ReplyDeleteBeautiful card christine...what a fab image. Hugs rachel xx
ReplyDeleteSuch a lovely card Christine, that image is gorgeous and your pale blue and white colour scheme looks very wintry.

Sweet image and I like that you have chosen to do it in blue and white. It looks delightful. It was the other way round with me and sis. She had the long hair and I had mine short. Mum wouldn't let us both have long hair. Hugs Mrs A.
