Happy BH Monday

Good Monday Morning Ladies,  

Did you all enjoy the lovely sunny weather yesterday,   I literally did nothing,   it was just a little too warm,  Paul set me up a chair and the large umbrella in the shade,  he even got me a bucket with some cool water in to put my feet in to cool me down 😍. He did start doing some weeding but I told him to stop as he was in full sun,  it was just too hot.  So he got his magazines and came to join me in the shade.  We sat inside for lunch,  I had a plate of fruit including watermelon which was so refreshing,   I am in my grape phase at the moment,   I love them and can finish a hole punnet in no time.  I haven't had watermelon in a couple of years as we bought some from a market in Spain and my goodness did it make me sick,  I couldn't face it after that.  Paul fancied some yesterday so I cut half up and tried a piece,  so I guess thats me back to eating Watermelon 🍉! 

After Sonia's Coffee themed journal page and Maria saying that that's how she felt before coffee in the morning,  my girls are the same, they HAVE to have coffee!  Paul enjoys a coffee but his drink of choice is a cup of tea!   I used to drink coffee but went off it when I was pregnant with girls and haven’t drank it since,   I think that today's world is very coffee orientated,  there are many coffee places in most towns, its crazy.   Do you ladies all drink coffee,  do you have these fancy named ones,  it always makes me laugh when we go anywhere and just wants a 'coffee', not a Espresso or a latte, just coffee with milk!   I think he just asks for an Americano. 

On any other day this would be a great reminder, however today's heat deserves a reminder that says 'just sit in the shade and take it essy 🥵🤣

I got my Distress inks out again on Friday and used one of my favourite Tim Holtz stamps,  I popped the stamp in my stamping tool and stamped the flower in Black Versafine Clair,  I gave it a quick dry before moving on to adding ink.  

To create the random circles I die cut some circles out a piece of card and used that to add circles of dustress ink around the stamped flower.  

I spritzed the circles with a pearl spray for added glitz.  I stamped a simple sentiment,  then finished by adding the card to a card blank then added a few pearls.  

Just like last week I did an Oxide version of this card too,  I will share that in the next couple of days. 

I hope that you all have a great start to the week,  

Love and cool hugs,
