What an Exciting Morning

Good Morning my Friendly Bloggers.  I know I've been playing hookey, but I make no apologies for being a big tennis fan and with this being the Wimbledon fortnight my seat is booked on the sofa.
However, with the news on Saturday that the great Tim Holtz was coming to the UK in August,  all stops were pulled out so I could get Annie tickets for this wonderful event. After phoning for over an hour this morning and the number was always engaged, Annie phoned me to say that she got tickets, and got one for me as well.  What a fabulous surprise.  How good a daughter is that.  So now we are both doing a happy dance around the house as we get our heads around it.  I was informed the hotel is booked as well, so hopefully we will meet some of you there.

My card to-day is a decoupage baby card as my box has only a few left in it.  When I started card-making decoupage was my first love and even yet I love to sit and cut out the details ready to make some cards.  The image for this one is from Card-making downloads and was a joy to make.  The picture does not show the decoupage to well, but I can assure you its there.  I left a space to add the baby's name later.
I need to go and try and calm down with a nice cup of tea.   Hope you are all well and managing to craft, or maybe like me you'll be watching Wimbledon to-day as well.    Hugs Rita xxx


This is what we will be making at the Tim Holtz workshop.

What fabulous news is that - you will have a wonderful time with 'Sir Tim' I'm sure - lucky you!! I'm afraid to say Wimbledon leaves me cold (apart from the Wombles that is)- they are my first thought when the 'W' word is mentioned!!. That is such a pretty baby card.

A wonderful card Rita!! Have to say though I am very green right now, you lucky, lucky things! I found that it clashed with the Finnabair class I am doing in Swindon that weekend, bummer, but hey, one can't have everything. Hope you guys have loads and loads of fun, take lots of pictures and pass on everything you learn!!
