Life is Just a Bowl of Cherries!

Good morning everyone and I hope you are all having a fabulous weekend! Our BBQ was good although I think I had a bit too much Pimms, Rum Punch and wine because I fell asleep in Eurovision and missed all the scores!  I feel sorry for poor Englebert - second to last oh dear!!

I've just had a peek at the weather forecast and it looks set to stay like this until about Thursday!  It would be so nice if our summer was just like this all the time I think everyone is happier when the sun shines!  I don't really sit out in it but its just nice to wander down the garden and feel the sun on you instead of being covered up with cardigans!!  I still haven't got my summer clothes out yet, I was going to this weekend but the forecast says it will be back down to 14 by later in the week.  Dave says its like living with a weather girl because I'm always babbling on about the weather forecast and I always know the latest one!!  Anyway enough of my waffle here is my card for today:

This cute image is from Pollycraft and I got her in a bundle with 100 for £9.50!  Talk about being spoiled for choice now!! I have followed the sketch at Crafty Sentiments again for the layout.  She has been coloured with Copics and a touch of Prismas.  Glossy Accents to her eyes.  The sentiment is Pollycraft as well and comes in the bundle.  I have distressed around the image with Shabby Shutters DI and then cut and matted with my Spellbinders Nesties. The papers are Raspberry Road and I know its really an apple she is holding but I have decided in my wisdom that it is a giant cherry!!! So I made some cherries with the Card Candy:

I coloured the candy with my Copics and added some fallout from a Spellbinders Tear Drop Circles to look like leaves and twisted a stem from a Wild Orchid flower to look like the cherry stem. Here is a picture of the inside:

I would like to enter the following challenges:

Crafty Sentiment - Sketch
Wags 'n Whiskers - Summer Fun
Aud Sentiments - Any Sentiment
Charisma Cardz - No Flowers (got plenty of cherries lol)

Well that's it from me just off to get another coffee and then pay you all a visit!  Another BBQ today with Max and Emma coming over so I shall imagine there will be lots of squealing from the garden - and not just me!!  Thanks for looking see you tomorrow and take care xx
