Looks like my posting at the moment will be at best sporadic! Still I’ve had some fabulous family time – more on that below :) Back to today and this simple thanks card which is packed with some of my favourites. The panel is Simon Says Stamp Fog with a perfect pairing of white Wendy Vecchi embossing paste through one of the Balloon Pattern mini stencils. Then there’s the favourite yellow/grey combo I like to revisit on occasion – the two labels from Butterfly Friends stamped in Smoke and Sunshine, cut with the matching Butterfly dies and mounted onto the panel with foam adhesive. Of course there’s my love affair with twine; lovely loose, loopy twine and Lawn Fawn’s twine’s are just perfect :D
The finishing touch had to be some sequins – can’t stop using those at the moment. These larger ones are from Studio Calico’s atlantic collection and the little one is an older one from Kelly Purkey.
Back to our family weekend, we had such a lovely time in Yorkshire celebrating some milestone birthdays within the family. Lots of laughs, a little Pimms, lots of cake, a little sunshine, lots of hugs and generally good times :D I share these sort of photos on Instagram if you are interested :)

Hi, Debby. Long time no “say”… I see/read your posts, but a little later. I’m not good using Feedly, so I’m off to subscribe via email.
Enjoy the good times spent with your family, they are the best.
Your photos are so professional and absolutely stunning. I wish I knew a little bit more of the how to’s, and I read some of your Lime Light posts with great tips, but the first one I stopped reading when you said something about black holes and finances… it’s not a good match for me :).
What can I say about your cards? They are all elevens.
Gorgeous card, Debby!
Love all your beautiful holiday photographs – especially thrilled to see the PImms one – “Pimms O’ClocK” – LOL
Love to see your beautiful photo’s of your family celebration. And your tag card is great, I always love tags, and tags on cards!
Absolutely stunning!
