A Blissful Day in the Craft Cave

Thankfully there were no emergency calls from work today.  Whoo hoo!   Instead I spent a blissful day in the Craft Cave.  I pulled out Crate Paper's Sweet Branch paper collection to make a card for this week's JUGS sketch challenge and ended up with 4 cards.   


This is the actual card for the challenge.  


And these are the other 3 I came up with.




The paper collection came with a sheet of die cuts, a set of brads and a few ribbons.  Lots of Glossy Accents and a bit of Stickles going on with these cards which, unfortunately, you can't really see in the pictures.  They're shiny and sparkly in real life though!  :)   

A gorgeous day today after a weekend of strong north winds.  We actually had to pull the space heaters back out last night.  I thought we'd seen the last of them for a while but no such luck.  It will probably be chilly tonight too as it's been such a clear day.  The hounds spent most of the day sunbathing although they got up for a couple of games of ball and at one point I caught Jem stalking a bird!  LOL!  Maybe he was a cat in his past life...  Must try and get a picture of that - he looked hilarious!

Have a great evening!

That would be a hilarious picture! Your cards are great, of course, I can see the continuity but each is so different too!
