Hobby house birthday card - ONE

Good morning all,

On Saturday I went over to Colman's Craft Warehouse for their big Demo Day.  It is a 130 mile round trip for us if we go over but it is definitely worth it.

There is a fabulous pub next door called the Needle & Awl so we stopped there for our lunch before coming home.  I will admit that I spent a little more than I should have but they had an offer on 20% of all white ticketed items which was most of the shop.

The demos were fabulous,over the next few days I want to share with you the cards I have made using the "Summertime" card kit from The Hobby House.   I don't usually buy card kits but this one is so sweet I could not resist it.  Even the card blanks and envelopes are in the kit.

Well onto my first card: -

How you interpret this is entirely up to you, but please remember you MUST use either ProMarkers, FlexMarkers, TriaMarkers or AquaMarkers and of course follow the theme to be entered into the prize draw, if not your entry will be deleted.

We would prefer that you have Word Verification turned off on your blogs, this slows us down so much when we go to leave you lovely comments.  If you have it turned on, then we're very sorry but we won't be able to leave you any comments, but your entry WILL still be entered into the prize draw.
