A cake shop treat

Hi everyone,


You know when you have a card idea kicking around in your mind and then a challenge comes along that you can mould it too ....... doesn't happen very often or I usually forget the idea , not this time :)

This card is for the current lawnscaping challenge

and so here's the inside too .....

..... yep trust me to think of a cake shop for a birthday card :)

I used a scallop die from MFT to make the awning front and then hand cut the rest of it. The window frames are made from a sizzlets die and then I've cut through them to make the apertures , the rest are Lawn Fawn stamps which I've coloured with promarkers and cut out. I've just noticed I've stamped the paperclip wrong ..... it doesn't look like it's clipped at all , oh well you get the idea :)

We had a lovely day out in Oxford on Wednesday looking at some of the colleges with Hannah ... oh boy  what a lot of walking, we'll have to go back again in September to look at those we couldn't get to yesterday , but Hannah really likes what she's seen so far and will definitely apply. To get an interview would be brilliant ...... to get a place offered to her would be amazing so we'll have to wait and see. Funny to think last time we all went to Oxford she was a toddler in a pushchair and now we are looking at Colleges , we should go more often but then again Cambridge is closer to us and just as lovely ..... we'll have to swap allegiance if she gets a place though :)

Well ..... the grey clouds are gathering again , best get the washing in ..... so I can put it on the ironing pile :(

Thanks for popping by today , enjoy the rest of your day X
