6.08am and I'm uploading this card.
I started to make this card last night at around 7pm, when my little boy was playing in the garden. I had to break off to bath him and put him to bed and then resumed cardmaking. Little boy gets up - can't sleep - sits there watching me and fiddling with things. I go to die-cut the cage and realise the base plate for my Big Shot is missing and start search of the house. Boy gets bored and goes back to bed.
9.15 Phone call from my grown-up daughter - she's had a row with her partner and she's on her way round with a bottle of Rose. Half a bottle of wine and two cocktails later, she goes home much happier and I resume search for base plate. Realise I'm unsteady on my feet and go to bed.
5am- I wake up still worrying about the base plate and resume search. Find it in inappropriate drawer. Complete card.
Oh, the crafty life!
I used a digital stamp from My Craft Studio Quintessential Country Garden CD and I coloured it with Promarkers. Paper is from same CD. Cage die is by Marianne and sentiment is a Papermania sticker.

You made me smile Marina, after half a bottle of wine and 2 cocktails and still to rise at 5am is amazing in itself, never mind that you made a stunning card as well! I'd still be asleep! Love the colours and the dies, fabulous. Thanks for joining us at CD Sunday this week. Michelle x GDT
Well done Marina on managing to finish such a lovely card. Hope the head isn't too sore. Putting things in the wrong places is something I do. This week I turned the place upside down looking for my very favourite can't manage without tweezers - to eventually find them in my make-up bag! A little large for eyebrows!!
Thank you for joining us.

I love the tale of crafty life, it makes me feel more normal! Super card and well done to get it done at such an early hour, the wine and cocktails must have done you good.

Don't you just hate it when you spend more time looking for something that the time it takes to use it. Glad you found the plate in the end and managed to finish this beautiful card.
Thank you for joining us at Cd Sunday this week.

A beautiful card Marina, and good to read how it was made. I don't think I could have done this after drinking wine and getting up early. Glad you found your plate eventually.

Fab card, oh the life of a crafter !! thanks for sharing at CD Sunday, Wendy x
I had to giggle while reading this, a great card Marina I love it. I wonder what it is that makes us put things away in the silliest of places sometimes?

Loved reading a snippet of ... a day in the life of.... I did smile. Your card is so beautiful, looks neat and straight, even after the consumption of a bottle of counselling wine. Thanks for sharing with us at CD Sunday Challenges. Caz

Oh you made me chuckle with that story... 'inappropriate drawer' may be by new catch phrase for where all lost items end up. Love your beautiful card and especially the cage. TFS.
Such a lovely creation thanks so much for joining us this week at Dream Valley and good luck
