So for my next piece I managed to combine two challenges with a Jubilee card perfect for this weekend!
Artful Times challenge us this fortnight (there's a week left!) to use ribbon and lace and
Artistic Stamper to use red white and blue - so it had to be Jubilee themed for that!
Then, the postman arrived with some papers and the Union Jack sticker you can see by Diane on WOYWW as after I commented on how fab the papers were, she left me a comment offering me one of each of the papers. The Union Jack was just perfect to finish my project, so thank you Di, and the papers will be great too!!
Congratulations to Her Majesty on her Diamond Jubilee - I was in London yesterday as I had an extra day off (took a day's holiday) and I walked for 6 hours at all the preparations and flags and bunting - made me even more proud to be British. (I should get the photos back later this afternoon, so check my other blog later!)
Ok, three down - wonder what's left!! Thanks for looking.

I'll definitely be back to see what London looks like, especially while it's all decked out in finery.
Your card us so patriotic. I was thrilled to see the die cut of your flag. It was not just appropriate, it was well done. And Big Ben never looked better!!
