Buttoned Up

Could someone please tell me how I had time to work...? I was designing and making some new cards for a large part of the day and having tea with a friend. By the time I got out for a short walk, the sun (yes, sun! No hail today) had gone in and I forgot my camera anyway. So, today's offering shows some of the materials I have used in my new cards. I am hoping the assortment of colours make up for the poor quality of photography!
