I have things drying on it this morning. I have been asked to make a Golden Wedding card by a friend so thought I'd make an exploding box, I haven't made one of those for years and always enjoy them although there is a lot of measuring and cutting out, not my strong point. There's also a bookmark card in progress, a project for Craft Club next month and a new set of dies I picked up at The Works. They are such a good price and this one is all foliage so I know it'll get lots of use, it already has!!
Here's a close up of the box so far. I have the sentiment panels to put on the sides but the hard work is done. I hope she likes it.
Like the rest of the country, we had amazing weather at the end of last week and not much of anything was done except sitting out and enjoying it.
Here's a peek at summer in The Craft Garden.
Thank you so much for the ATC's that have arrived so far from Margaret, Shaz, Jo and Annie. It's been such a joy to receive little envelopes of happiness.
Well, that's me this week, if you want to join in with our weekly desk hop, then pop over to see the lovely Julia, HERE.
I am looking forward to coming by to see what you've all been up to so enjoy your Wednesday and Happy Crafting!

Garden lookin wowsers! Not around much on Blogger anymore as google does not work seamlessly with apple devices! X
It's so lovely to see the sunshine isn't it? I think it lifts our mood ...I know it does mine. You have a lovely garden.

What a stunning photo of your garden, and such a sunny day when you took it.
Love the explosion box with those golden roses. The recipient will be thrilled no doubt.
Hugs, Neet 13 xx
ps sent you an email
Your garden is really lush and beautiful! I'd be spending time out there too :-D. I'm stuck for inspiration with mine at the moment, hopefully when we get the patio and paths paved then I'll get some ideas! The Golden Wedding card is fab already, I know the recipients will adore it...i can feel your measuring stress though. When something has to be exact in order to work then it triples the pressure huh?!

Hi Lisa, Thank you so much for the gorgeous ATC and your kind note which accompanied it. I am latish visiting today as the car has had to go in for its MOT (it's failed so I'm waiting for them to get back to me with the bad news of cost of work). Good job I bought Sheena's latest stamps before I knew that but Create It in Telford will be a window shopping experience only methinks. I love the exploding box. Happy WOYWW Sarah #22

Your exploding box is looking fabulous. Glad to hear you're enjoying some of the good weather x
I can't imagine why she wouldn't like it - it's gorgeous! Your Craft Garden is also gorgeous, and am all kinds of jealous! Thanks for sharing, Lindart #41
Well if she doesn't like it there is something wrong with her, looks gorgeous and so does your garden. It was sunny hear too but really cold out of the sun.
