Good morning all.
I hope you are all well.
Well my day of crafting didn`t go to plan yesterday, i had my eyebrows done.Nipped into work to have a cuppa with my Mum,.Picked up groceries for tea.
Got home and then stupidly decided to defrost my fridge which has been a pain since we had it.It is only on number 1, according to the manual this is the warmest setting with 0 being the fridge turned off.
But it keeps getting huge build ups of ice at the back and i mean HUGE, as in 6 inches thick.
I emptied the fridge out, put in some bowls of hot water and then i had to go to work as my Mum had to nip out for a meeting.
So by the time i got back home it was nearly teatime and the ice was just as thick in the fridge, cue boiling kettles of water to loosen it and finally it is off.
With all that drama, lol i only made this card so hopefully i get time to make a quickie one this morning before work later.
Right, enough of my twaddle and on to my card which i am also entering into the following challenges:

You might have only had time for one card but it's a totally stunning and gorgeous card.
Sounds like you have a faulty fridge I wonder if the number dial has been put on wrong try the highest number it might not make so much ice,

I'll give you an easy tip for defrosting Coops..a hot hair dryer..so quick and easy and the ice falls off in huge chunks..and I don't even have to turn my fridge off.
Fantastic elegant card..just beautiful.

Beautiful card Nic. I always defrost the freezer with the hairdryer. Much quicker and easierr.
Hi Coops

PS glad your son had a great trial run at secondary school. It's a big step and sounds like he enjoyed it.

Oh this is stunning Coops… what a fab layout and I love the die cuts and the beautiful butterflies and pearls! :-)
Ooh your fridge/freezer sounds like ours… we have it on warm setting too and it gets icebergs in it… what a pain it is! it takes ages even with hairdryer... so we usually end up eating all the food and then turning it off while it melts... which is very messy.
Hope you got it sorted out ok
Big hugs, Sue B xx
