Card for a Friend

Hello again folks. Weather has not improved very much since yesterday when it rained all day, most of it was torrential too. Its dry at the moment, so that is something I suppose.
In my craft room to-day,  but as yet I cannot show the things I have done.  My card to-day was one that I made last week and had actually posted it when I remember I had not taken a picture. So this was one taken by my grandson on his i-pad and sent to me.  Luckily it was to a friend of my younger daughter and he was able to get me a picture. Isn't technology a great thing.
It was an 8 X 8 card and was matted with a lovely deep wine core card.  The image was one that I bought from the lovely June McFarlane over at Dezina's World and the images are all so beautiful.   I added some snippets of black lace and a couple of memory box scrolls to add a bit of interest. The beautiful pins were a gift at Christmas from dear blog friend Sassy who makes them herself.
I dearly hope you all have a lovely bank holiday week-end whatever you do and I'll be back soon to show more of my creations.  Hugs Rita xx

I do not know how many times I do that, it is in the Post Box before I remember I did not take the photo.

Hi Rita,
I too wish I had a pound for every photo I have forgotten to take. I could buy lots more dies with it. lol. As you say technology is so great, to be able to take photos with an i pad or phone. I have one of the first i pads without the camera, and was recently thinking of up grading till I saw the prices.
Your card is very superb as it always is. Love the scrolls at the sides, and that image is fabulous.
Have a wonderful crafty day.
Lots of crafty love. Jenny L.
