Today is just a beautiful  lovely clear day after a cool  morning.

Next weekend here in Queensland they going to start relaxing some of the stage three restrictions. We can bushwalk, fish, jet ski , go to the beach as long as we social distance ourselves, have 10 people at a gathering (just in time for Mothers Day) and go shopping for non essential items.
Hopefully we don't have too many new cases with the lifting of restrictions so we can fully lift restrictions

Card Sketch 368 (Maureen W) AUST

Morning all


I hope this finds you all well, and keeping up with our quarantine rules and safe distancing rules
Another beautiful morning not as cool this morning, Expecting tops of 30 today, so quite warm.

I have been working thru some layouts for a cyber crop i participated in last weekend and I decided to do layouts with lots of fussy cutting, so have not been on the blog for a few days.
 
Now the Government has decided that all elective surgery (they were only allowed to do category 1 ) can go ahead , (Just waiting on when)  you might find me quite as some stage next month.

Today's card is for CAS(E) this Sketch No 368, I did rotate the sketch.Love doing these, as all my sketch cards are going to be donated to CARDS FOR THE TROOPS, here in Australia, such a worthwhile cause.
I would have put some bling on the flowers but it is not permitted, no bling or glitter.
