In The Garden

Morning peeps

That has got to have been the toughest couple of days I have had in a long while.  I had managed to keep rolls on sale until yesterday.  My co Section Leader was on the 4 am start yesterday, so what I should have walked into, was at least 4 racks of rolls ready to go into the oven.  What I actually walked into, was 1 half rack of rolls, no bloomers on sale, very few sticks and the cake bays nearly empty.  Angry was a under statement, there was no way of recovering.

Anyway, enough of moaning.  I made this card yesterday before I went to work, but didn't have the time to post it.  The digital stamp is called Primrose Elf from Aurora Wings and it has been coloured using Copics and ProMarkers.

Other materials used are:

White card stock

Grey card stock

Strut Your Stuff

Evening peeps

That was a hard day, until you work in our Bakery, it is impossible to understand how difficult it is to keep things on sale.  It's taken me all day just to produce 3 racks of rolls.  At least we had rolls on sale this afternoon for change, the problem now, is that my GSM expects it over the weekend as well.
