Your Challenge Cards

 





Good Sunday Morning Ladies,

I hope today finds you all well, are you all having a lovely weekend? I do hope so, I also hope that those of you that are struggling with pain and health issues are having as good a day as can be expected ❤️
Today is a day tinged with sadness for me, it doesn't serm possible that it has been a year since my beautiful Danielle lost her battle with cancer, there isn't a day goes by that I don't think about her, I miss her so much 💔 ❤️

We are forecast a lovely sunny day today,  so hopefully we can spend the day on the beach before going out for dinner and a wander around the old town. 


Your Patterned paper 
Challenge Cards 

Lilian 

Lilian's Description:

Here is my card for this week, I used my new Stamperia papers, Desire, they have some lovely papers.

Lilian I absolutely love this card, you have once again enticed me into wanting this new Desire paper collection from Stamperia, it will go perfectly with another set I have, in fact I had started making an Album with the papers, I was doing it day by day with Danielle to keep her busy to take her mind off of her health,  I haven't been able to bring myself to finish it but I feel determined to do it for her now!   She nagged me to start making one but it was more her thing than mine but as she became more unwell I did everything I could to uplift her.            Thank you so much Lilian for a truly inspirational card XXX 

Maria 


Maria's Description: 

1/ I used some scraps in grey, black and pink.Cut them into strips 
and then put them together with a topper from my stash.
2/ Butterfly is stamped onto a swirly patterned paper and some OD
is used to colour it in lightly.

Two amazing cards Maria, what a great way to use up your scraps of card, it looks like a fancy paper design!  Such  brilliant idea!

  1. HAPPY HAPPY BIRTHDAY SANDRA. I'm sure you will have a wonderful day and a gorgeous meal out tonight.

    Once again I'm writing this in full sun and it's already a little more than warm.
    We cannot find a Brocante to go to this morning so I'm sure I can find Jim one or two jobs to scratch of the 'todo' list before lunch time.

    All today's cards are just beautiful with so many different papers.I have to thank LILIAN for showing the new Stamperia papers (I shall be ordering when I get back) as postage and import tax is way too high to order for delivery here.

    HUGE HUGS to you all. Have a really good day. Please take care and stay safe.xxxx

  4. Hello, dry but very dull, hoping the washing will dry.
    Happy Birthday to our favourite blog writer, hope you have a lovely meal with the family tonight.

    The cards today are all lovely, loved this challenge as I can use my papers, eases my conscious over buying them as they quite expensive, but I just love them.
    Not sure what I will do for this weeks , might do an album page, as I have quite a few cards in my cards finished. Will use more papers, as colouring with sore thumbs is tricky.

    Sorry I missed yesterday, Maria you pictures are lovely, not sure I would have the dexterity to do them. Karen loved the little people in their bowling outfits.

    Have a pleasant afternoon all, Lilian
