Back from Holiday

Hi My Crafty Blog Friends

I hope you are having a good week. I have just got back from a few days in Amsterdam I must say it is a fascinating place to stay. There is so much to see and do.

Today's card I made with a die my good friend gave me for my birthday a few weeks ago. It is the Configurations Petite Arched Adornment die by Sue Wilson. It might be small but it is amazingly versatile.

I must have used it in its most basic form just to make corners. The edges line up  nicely and I was able to cut a square for the centre that I embossed with the A4 embossing folder Bed of Roses also by Sue Wilson. I cut two small squares one of the backing paper and one in white to hold the sentiment that I cut in black. 

Please forgive me I am going to share some pictures from my holiday. 



This is a typical view round Amsterdam there are so many canals.


This is not a working mill it has been turned into a bar. There are only two windmills in the city the others are in the countryside. 


It isn't really the right time for tulips but we did see a few roundabout. This picture was taken at the tulip museum - yes there is such a thing and all the signs were in English so just for tourists.


Do you remember Miffy? Well Miffy is 60 this year and there are many decorated Miffys around and about to celebrate her special birthday. Unfortunately they aren't all in Amsterdam so we couldn't see them all. The ones we saw were very cute.


Here is a reminder of my simple little card it measure 6" x 6" so a small one for me.

I hope you didn't mind me sharing a few of my holiday photos. I hope the rest of the week is good for you and your plans.

Happy crafting

Hugs Jackie
