TGIF! - got plans?

Morning readers, 

I have some news to share with you today ... some of you (like me) may have subscribed to Craft Stamper currently or in the past, so it will be sad news to hear that they paused publication for the duration of the pandemic but have taken the decision not to resume publication, it's always a shame to hear of a business folding and I'm sure this won't be the only one but ... I'm sure it had been a crafting staple in many a crafters life, I know I subscribed for many years. Sorry to see you go Craft Stamper.

I've a make to share with you today ....... a thank you card to my brother and sister-in-law who invited us for a rather lovely afternoon and evening as well as a spectacular BBQ recently.

Thanks for the update on Craft Stamper mate. They are still TAKING subs payments though . . . so if any of your readers had subs due . . . they should check their bank account and ask for payment to be returned. My bank did this within 24 hours.

Great thank you card. Good to hear you enjoyed a BBQ with family.

Happy Friday. xxx

A pretty sparkly silhouette flower and love the dotty stencilling in the background and that fairly soft clay colour Kathy, and love the art deco style sentiment too. A beautiful card. x
