Spring is in the air....


So I've been a bad blogger for the last few days but I've got such a good excuse. My son is staying with me and is revamping my bathroom and loo. I have a new bath - a new floor in both the bathroom and loo and he's refitted the bathroom basin and the loo too so it all looks brand new. He's also revamped the kitchen sink and fitted new taps for me. What a treasure he is. (And so is my lovely DIL for making sure it happened.) He's here till Monday at least and then he has to get back to his family who I know are missing him.
So here we are at the beginning of another week with CD Sunday. - I'll choose my top three for last week's challenge as soon as I can. It won't be easy - I know that.
 This week to topic has been chosen by Wendy and it's 'Spring is in the Air'. For my card I have used the Penny Black image I stamped a few weeks ago - this time in a different colour scheme but still coloured with Promarkers. The bp is from DoCrafts Digital Designer Spring Chic cd. The corner is a Cuttlebug die and the border along the bottom a Memory box die. I've cut it twice, once in cream and a second time in a green and offset the two just slightly. The sentiment is a Rubbadubbadoo stamp and I've put a couple of nail heads in the bottom corners.
 I hope you can join us this week and if you do - remember to say which CD you have used in the making of your project.
Thank you for visiting today.

It definitely feels like Spring here today, Beryl.I hope you are enjoying the sunshine too. I've been in the garden, done 4 loads of washing all outside to dry and have all the windows open....bliss!!
What a lovely son you have to do all these jobs for you. I bet you love having him all to yourself for awhile.
Love the card too of course.
Enjoy the rest of your Sunday.

Hi Beryl,

Having the old problem getting here again, your posts just don't come up on my dashboard and when I go to your profile your 'normal' blog's not listed. All odd because I am still showing up as being on your sidebar stalker list.

When it happened before I stopped following then signed up again it seemed OK for a while, so might have to resort to that again.

Anyhow, now I am here had a quick check on what you've been doing, I really like the masculine card below, needless to say I find the scene card enchanting and the Penny Black tulips is a breath of Spring - we can but hop.

Are boys are good aren't they, one of ours refitted one of our bathrooms just before Christmas and made a great job of it as well.
