Melissa Frances and Papermania

Hello from a sunny Liverpool ...
I finally received my lovely new Melissa Frances C'est la Vie paper pack and the new Bookprint Pack from PapermMania ... they are totally different and yet I wanted to play with them both as soon as I could ... so I created a birthday card for a friend .. using papers from both packs ... 
That's the lovely thing about MF papers ... they blend in with virtually everything ...
The hard part was picking which one of the lovely papers to use ... 


I settled on the Hydrangeas ... which seemed to go perfectly with my card stock
and the print paper from PaperMania


... I also used some of the MF Green Honeycombe paper to cut some leaves for my resin flower and for the banner


Yep, I'm going to enjoy playing with these papers for a long while

It's a big day for the our city - our two Merseyside football teams ... Liverpool and Everton ... are meeting at Wembley for the FA cup semi final ... the things is ... my Hubby and my Son are Everton supporters (Blues) whilst I am a Liverpool supporter (Reds) ... It could be fun here today!
The world famous Grand National race is also on today ... as always it's a sell out ... As was yesterday's Ladies Day ... I enjoyed seeing photos of the girls in their finery and was delighted when a local lady won the 'Best Dressed' wearing a beautiful simple black 1950's vintage dress from her Grandmother! 

 I'm off to make a pizza for the boys and we can all settle down to watch the match ... 
Have a wonderful weekend and thanks for stopping by
