Busy day in the forest

Didn't do any crafting on the weekend - because of the beautiful weather, we decided to go on a picnic at Forest Drive, Cwmcarn. When we got there we were very sad to learn that Forest Drive is closing in November because they have to fell no end of Larch trees because of disease. It is apparently not guaranteed that it will be reopened either because of funding issues. That would be a real shame, it is one of the most beautiful places I have ever seen.

We all had a lovely day!

Making a card for another cardmaker is a nightmare!

I have a good friend with whom I go line dancing twice a week. It is her birthday coming up and I needed to make a card for her. No problem you may think, until you consider that that card will be going to another avid cardmaker! Always a challenge! I was determined to use a flower spray on my friend's card, so I thought the best way forward would be to choose which flowers I had in my stash, choose an image to stamp and then colour the image and pick the papers accordingly. I hope you like my effort - I made the box to match too, just to make it that bit more special (and the fact that with the flowers, the card wouldn't fit in an envelope!)

Entered into the following challenge:
