Fancy a brew???

Morning Folks!

If you' re celebrating the Bank Holiday in the UK, I hope the sun is shining on your part of the world. I'm super excited today, not just because it's a holiday but because I have been invited to be a guest designer over at House Mouse and Friends - one of my favourite blogs ever!!! Can you see the big grin on my face?? 

This time the challenge is 

FEELING BLUE

which you can interpret either as the colour or unwell/ sad

I've gone for a combination of blue and a bit sad using one of my all time favourite Gruffies images called All Warm and Furry, and a teabag. I think the pictures will explain:


Inside:


Verse:


and here's a close up view of the gorgeous bear:


Hope you have a great day, whatever you're doing - I'm off to watch the pig racing on the village green later if it stays nice!!

    That lace is stunning Jackie. The whole card has warm elegance to it. I can see why you would choose a Gruffie with a blog name of Paddington. Congrats on your GDT too. I look forward to getting to know you and your design style as we serve our GDT spot together.
