Love turquoise!

Morning crafters, hope you're all well.......it's a bit cooler here today but still dry......might
 have a potter in the garden......or maybe not, maybe I'll sneak an hour at my desk
instead!!! Sharing another little shambala bracelet today & this is probably my favourite

Simply Gorjuss

Morning lovelies.....hope you're all well & enjoying this lovely weather!
Bit breezy here but lovely to see the line full of washing.......I.m gonna spend today
getting all my jobs done then the long weekend doing fun things & hopefully it will
involve crafting & chocolate!! So today I'm sharing a card I made for Rebecca
(Iknow, she should have made her own, right?) to give to her best friend for her
Birthday...........loved making this, love all the Gorjuss range.....sometimes love it
too much to use it......how sad is that lol? This one has lots of layers, the image is
 decoupaged & finished with a few black gems! No sentiment again, I've found
myself leaving sentiments off lots of my cards recently......what do you think...
....should all cards have a sentiment?
Thanks for calling and for any comments you might leave....see you soon!
