Mixed Up Saturday, featuring Michele's Magazine Review

Good Morning Ladies, 

I hope that you are all enjoying the weekend, although this heat is a little draining 😴!  I didn’t see much of the outside yesterday as we were at the hospital, when we left in the afternoon it was overcast and began to rain. 

I heard on the news that we are having a phenomenon called 'Tropical Nights' were the temperature doesn't get below 20°, sounds horrendous doesn't it.

The photo above is a portrait that Our Sophie drew, its a portrait of Brenda's Tortoise 'Speedy'. Brenda asked Sophie do it so that she had a unique gift for John for his birthday.  It was a challenge but Sophie embraced it, she was anxious waiting to find out what both Brenda and John thought, thankfully they both loved it. 

Thank you so much Brenda for asking Soph to do it xxx

Great feature explaining Foiled Diecutting.

Selective Embossing-this technique looks great and makes you think about using your embossing folders in different ways.

Non card ideas using the free gift in this article.

Diecut masking-shows you how you can use your Dies to cut a shape then ink through this, using the aperture like a stencil.

Floating panel cards look complicated but this article explains how to create them & it’s not difficult.
