Midsummer nights.....

Good morning, and I do hope you are having a wonderful weekend!  Ours is doing good too, much better than last....when hubby ended up in hospital with pneumonia again.  I did a bit of gardening yesterday, and it's amazing how fast those weeds can grow when you don't look at them for a few days!  Quite sneaky how they masquerade as flowers for a while!


So how about this for a nice fun Anniversary card, using the Love Cats image from Just Inklined.  Soooo romantic, and it definitely speaks of summer.  Some fancy cutting and a couple of dies help create the scene, along with some distress inks and a few stars.  The DP is an oldie from my stash, and that pattern was already there.  Just a corner punch and a couple of gems to add some interest to the corners, and a Stampabilities sentiment stamp to finish it off.  Nice and simple....no?

Dies used:  
Fresh Cut Grass from My Favourite Things, and 
Spellbinders Inverted Scalloped Circles

Have yourselves a wonderful crafty day, and hopefully some lovely summer weather.  Enjoy!
