Good Morning Ladies,
I am so excited to be sharing Lynda' 3D Challenge cards with you all today, I'm not sure if it was the heat or if I'm just losing my marbles but I totally forgot about them, Lynda sent them to me on Wednesday last week, I remember seeing them and commenting but after uploading and commenting on all of the others Lynda's had totally slipped my mind. Funny thing is I checked the list twice and said to Paul 'I'm sure someone is missing'!
Lynda's first card is one of Val's favourite cards to make (lol), a Pop-Up Box, after decorating the sides and flaps of he box with pretty paper Lynda filled it with John Lockwood's Gerbera Daisies that she had die cut in lots of colours to coordinate with the paper. Lynda then added Sue Wilson Butterflies to all of the flaps of the box. Little pearls in the centre of the flowers give the perfect finishing touch.
Lynda's second card has the real 'WOW' factor, its a 'Z' Fold that she has decorated with some gorgeous paper from her stash, also die cutting some flowers from the same paper to layer up on the card, lynda finished the centres of these flowers with some rather posh looking gem stones.
The cleverly placed black pearls lead your eye in to the card.
Thank you so much Lynda for two absolutely amazing cards, I love both of them and I am sorry that I forgot to add them, especially after you went to so much trouble to create them.
The up side is that they get a day all to themselves. xxxx
Sue couldn't make it yesterday, so I decided to dedicate the day to filming tutorials, I had breakfast in the garden with the girls and then got all set up, I cut out all the bits to the card I wanted to share and as I was setting the camera up and group of VERY LOUD aircraft flew over and over and over, now I'm not sure whether they were preparing for the grand 100 plane fly past in London or if they were practising for the Royal International Air Tattoo at Fairford this weekend, it was so loud in the garden the girls came running in. I know that the aircraft will have started arriving for the air show so its probably that.
I was surprised at how many people have rented out their Driveway or become a temporary B&B for this weekend, there are campsites popping up in fields all around us too. We get a front row seat for the display as the field opposite our house is the 'holding point' for planes about to start their display, so if any of you have an aircraft enthusiast you are more than welcome to stop by.
I hope that you all have a quieter day than I do, enjoy it whatever you are doing.
Love and hugs to all
Sandra

Morning Ladies
ReplyDeleteLynda-wow, two absolutely stunning cards, both gorgeous.
Sandra-good job you had recorded your videos & were able to cut out the sound. We have had do many planes Ho over last weekend then yesterday we saw a Virgin jumbo going over us as they must have changed the route in/out of Manchester Airport.
My dentist was running over 15 minutes late do not a great start! I needed X-ray last doing & she saw s shadow behind a tooth on the upper left side which she thinks is decay (reassuring Heh) plus the chipped tooth needs repairing do I’ve made s longer appointment when I’m next off (August) for 9am hoping she’s going to be on time!
We went into Liverpool at lunchtime to drop hubby’s car at the dealership as the respray wasn’t quite right. We walked into the city centre, had lunch and looked around the shops. I finally spent my birthday money....on a winter jacket!
Today I plan to spend most of the day in my craft room.
Michele
Well bet that's something you really don't want to do in August on your time off work!
DeleteI watched the RAF flypast on tv yesterday and got quite emotional especially seeing Red Arrows. Are you going to the Southport Air Show. I have such happy memories of it.
Enjoy your day in the craft room and the rest of you holiday.x
Morning Everyone.
ReplyDeleteStunning cards LYNDA. The colours you've used for the pop up box are beautiful and as Sandra said, not my favourite box to make.x
Off to crib this afternoon and then so looking forward to the match tonight. First though I have ironing to do and I want to get it done before it gets too hot.
Have a lovely day ladies. Special hugs for those not feeling 100% today.x
SANDRA and PAT have a good meet up later.
Love Valx
Beautiful beautiful cards LYNDA I love using JL’s Gerbera Daisies As being able to line the die up with the stamps is so easy and to cut 6 out at once is a bit of a time saver
ReplyDeleteAshame SUE couldn’t make yesterday hope you’re ok SUE
I would have loved to visit you and watch the planes I think it was the RAF that my dad was in when he did his National Service and so have been brought up enjoying the supreme quality of these machines
Home alone tonight and so I intend to finish quite a few cards I’ve been asked to make By the time I have finished I will have made 4 using the freebie “drinks” stuff from the current Card Making Essentials ( I think it’s that one) So thank you MICHELE for your magazine review It really does help
I bought a ticket for Stamparama In Stevenage if anyone’s interested in meeting up - I know we’re due to meet up but time seems to be just disappearing at the mo
Take care all xx
Hi Karen. I too love JL's Gerberas. So easy to use and as you say you get 6 with each pass through the machine.
DeleteLove to join you in Stevenage - one of these days eh?
Enjoy your cardmaking.x
Definitely xx
DeleteHi Sandra and ladies
ReplyDeleteLynda love both cards you’ve made. Well the first is a pop up box isn’t it. I love JL’s Gerbara. They look stunning on the box. Perhaps I’ll invest in these, although I do have some SW flowers that I could use. I must look at the Utube video that I’ve kept on my iPad.
Looking forward to seeing Sandra today. I’ve done some Groovi to take over to colour.
Need to ring Prof Prothero’s secretary to see if an appointment has been made for Pete’s Bone Scan if he doesn’t have a letter today. He sees the consultant on the 31st and results take about 2 weeks. I want to book a few days away if Pete’s feeling up to going away.
PAT thank you for your lovely comment .I love JL flower stamps &Die as you get so many flowers at once. I just cut the flowers out of different coloured card this time so you have that choice.
DeleteI hope you get a appointment has been made for Pete's bone scan
Hug's Lynda xx
Hi Lynda
DeleteFantastic box and card today. No appointment for Pete. Tried to ring Prof Prothero’s secretary, but I’m assuming they’d gone home.
Had a great catch up with Sandra today, in between the workmen in the garden pulling up posts and the aircraft flying it was a noisy day.
Jets were flying over my head, very low as they were landing on Fairford aerodrome as I was driving to Sandra’s.
Good morning Sandra & ladies
ReplyDeleteWOW SANDRA thank you so much for showing my CC for last Sunday's challenge Thank you all for your all for your kind comments much appreciated .
I going round my friend Margaret's this morning. About 11oclock.
I'm hoping to finish my CC when I get home i have made a start by cutting out some pieces for it.I also have another card to make but don't think I will get that one done as well. That one will have to be done tomorrow after the Tesco run.
Hug's for everyone
Love Lynda xx
Hi Sandra & all in café,
ReplyDeleteSandra sorry you did not get to see Sue yesterday, hope it was just the after effects of Monday. You will no doubt have a good view of all the planes & will be fed up with all the noise by Monday, lovely to watch from a distance.xxx
Lynda your cards are lovely, well deserve a day on their own. Have a good day with my name sake.xxx
It feels cooler out today thank goodness.
Café open hope to see you in for a drink & chat.
Sending hugs to all who need them love Margaret.xxx
Thank you Margaret for your lovely comment on my cards
DeleteHope your feeling better.
Love Lynda xx
Hello Sandra and ladies,
ReplyDeleteLynda your cards really do deserve a day on there own. I have to say my favourite one is the one with the Gerber's, but they are both really gorgeous xx
Sandra I hope those planes are not going to be flying over your house every day until the weekend you will all be needing earplugs before then. I enjoyed the RAF display yesterday, they didn’t fly over our direction but I did manage to see them on television, it really was an impressive display loved every moment.
Had a busy morning after breakfast I decided the kettle needed the descaling, the solution was at the back of the kitchen cupboard after almost emptying the cupboard I went the whole hog and cleaned out some of the cupboards, then I decided to have a go at both of the ovens. Those tasks are finished, I think I have earned a stint in my craft room. Mind you that could do with a really good sort out. The thing is where do I start?
Sorry Sue didn’t get over yesterday. SUE hope you are alright.xx Enjoy your day with Pat. Hope the power was not off for long and you were able to have a hot drink.xx
Sending love and hugs, Brenda xxx
Aww thank you BRENDA your very kind. Wow where do you
Deleteget your energy from cleaning two ovens & cupboards a kettle & craft room the list is endless. You take are love Lynda xx
Hello All, very heavy cloud today, had a sprinkle of rain this morning, not enough to Evan wet the ground, but at least it’s cooler.
ReplyDeleteLynda what super cards, love all of your designs, make mine look so ordinary.
Started sorting my craft room yesterday, have a smaller table, so just need to find space to put everything. Really I need to get rid of a lot of paper and loads of punches that I no longer use.
Good luck to England tonight. Hope the tennis is finished before it starts.
Sandra not sure what’s going on with aircraft we had the most enormous jets fly over this morning so low the house really shook, also big army jumbos are the jets these new planes that the aircraft have? Must admit I have an inbuilt fear of low flying aircraft, something to do with something that happened when I was a baby so my sister tells me.
Enough of my rambling have a good day all, Lilian
Hi LILIAN thank you very much. Now all your cards are gorgeous & thank you for my birthday one. Love Lynda xx
DeleteHi all.
ReplyDeleteFabulous box Lynda, love all the different colours used and the card is gorgeous. Well deserved to have a day of their own.
Sue, hope you ok and soon can catch up with Sandra another day.
Pat, hope you had a fun day. A time to forget about appointment etc for a while. We all need some me time sometimes.
Wish I could get to Stevenage Karen, maybe one day. Until then we have to plan something else.
Did housework first thing this morning while it was still cool and the sun was hiding. Felt funny after lunch,had a very dozy day after that and still feel like brain not with body so will just sit down and watch the football with OH and Good Luck England, Hope the Tennis goes well to Lilian. Many hugs to you all ,xxxx
Awww thank you MARIA your very kind. Sorry your brain isn't with your body today. Not to worry too much my friend as I haven't even got a brain 🤣🤣🤣🤣 Hope you feel better tomorrow take care. Football was a disappointment. Love Lynda xx
DeleteI have that trouble Maria, my brain usually goes walk about as well.
DeleteShame we lost the football ⚽️.
Never sat through a match without doing something else before so to see them losing as well, hard,very hard.
DeleteGood night ladies xx
Lynda I am in awe of those crafters who can create these box cards using a variety of themes. I have made two to date one for my hubby's birthday using One Wild Ride the Harley motorbike stamp set from SU. The other for a good friend's 50th birthday with shoes and handbags because she likes shopping for shoes and handbags and shoes and handbags and shoes and hand.... LOL xx
