Morning readers,

Walking in the sunshine and topping up my vitamin D levels!!!
And hubby and I got involved in a community project at the weekend, clearing some brambles and nettles from the footpath local to home .... we went off at 09:00 on Saturday, hoping (but failing) to beat the heat! Spent some time with a hedge trimmer (hubby) and secateurs (me) clearing a path. Others came along after we'd left and carried on - can't wait to get back to see what got achieved during the day

Perfect card for when he passes his test. Fingers crossed it's first time!
Very community spirited of you to volunteer to clear the local pathways - especially in that heat!

I hope your surrogate grandson passes his test and if he does an excellent card from you as a celebration Kathy, looking great in red. Glad you managed your walk even though it has been eye wateringly hot, and how super of you and your hubby to help clear the pathway that had become overgrown. x
A great card with some fab stenciling on your background. Fingers crossed he passes his test first time! Thank you for playing along with us at Sweet Stampin'. Tracey x
Hi Kathy, perfect 'Passing your test' card - love the mini, it's the car I wanted when I passed my test many moons ago! Great background as well, which is perfect for our challenge this time at Sweet Stampin'.
You were very good to go out in this heat and help with community project, Brownie points earned I would think!
Thanks for joining in with us at Sweet Stampin this challenge.

What a great masculine card, Kathy! Love the pop of color. Thank you for joining us at Creative Knockouts, and I hope to see you again soon. Hugs, Jinny
That is a fab card! Thank you for joining us at Sweet Stampin' this week. Sammy-x
Love your cards Kathy and the matching inside or envelope or both! The pop of red on this one is great with the fun background!
Thank you for joining us at Creative Knockouts, I hope you join us again this week!
What a great card to have waiting if he passes. Of course, I ran a red light on my first test and that was embarrassing and I had to wait 12 days before I could go back. I better luck that time. Thanks so very much for joining us this time at the Creatalicious Challenge, elizabeth (DT)
What a darling card! Thank you for sharing your wonderful project with us at Creatalicious Challenges . Hugs Neva
