Lilian's Book Bind Easel card

 



Good Sunday Morning Ladies,

I hope that June has started in the best possible way for all of you,  the weather was ok here, we had a few really sunny spells, mostly cloudy though, which is perfect when you are doing jobs outside.  Paul filled the last of the raised beds, we worked out that he has shifted about 5 tons of soil this past few weeks, I didn't think we'd need it all but we definitely did, we got loads of veg planted out yesterday, sprouts, Curly Kale, spring cabbage, red cabbage, white cabbage, brocoli and  Tenderstem brocoli.  Fingers crossed the netting works and we get to enjoy the vegetables rather than the white butterflies!!! 

Sonia I hope you had a lovely day celebrating Teddy's 1st birthday yesterday with all of your family XXX 

Today's card is Lilian's version of the Book Bind Easel Fold card that I shared the tutorial for yesterday.  

Your version is so beautiful Lilian,  I love that pretty flower, such a lovely colour too, such a brilliant idea to use the butterfly as the Easel Stopper, you have managed to make it look like he has just landed there for a rest. 

Thank you so much for having a go at the tutorial, it makes it all worthwhile.  XXX 

I hope you all enjoy the rest of your weekend,  

Love and hugs to all of you,

Sandra xxx

  1. Your card is fabulous Lilian When we get home I will definitely give it a try
    I bet you had a fabulous time with Teddy Blue
    Just getting ready to go to breakfast and then maybe watch a couple of classes I think because we dance Salsa this Modern Jive seems weird because there doesn’t look like there’s any structure Every dance I have tried has structure even when we did country dancing at school!
    Anyway it’s been nice to get away for a few days Windsor is a lovely place
    Take care everyone xx

    Your card Lilian is beautiful ❤️

  3. Hi everyone
    I absolutely love your card Lilian, it’s beautiful 😍
    We had a lovely day yesterday. It was wonderful being with family and friends. Little Teddy did very well to stay awake, and he was thoroughly spoilt 😍☺️
    He started walking a few weeks ago Maria, so you have to have eyes in the back of your head keeping an eye on him 😂☺️
    Lovely sunny day here, I hope the sun is shining where you all are.
    Enjoy the rest of the day everyone
    Sending hugs to you all xxx

  4. Hi Sandra and all looking in.
    Lilian your card is lovely. What’s gorgeous flower and I lived how you have used the butterfly as the stopper xx
    Sandra, I’m sure you are both tired but very happy to be able to have hot so much done in the garden. Here hoping the netting dies its job! Xx
    Brenda and Janet. I hope you are both improving day by day. Gentle hugs to you both xx
    Maria I’m glad you are feeling a little bit better today. Sitting in the sun should help too xx
    We had Chris jnr and Gemma here for the afternoon and he is staying until tomorrow afternoon as his school has an inset day. I managed to get some newer dies a bit more organised but really need some more of the magnetic boards, by Artbin that I have most of my other dies stored on but they are so expensive now. Sandra and I were talking about them a few weeks ago. I think they are still one of the best storage systems. It’s such a shame Hobbycraft stopped doing their own brand too. I will just make some of my own instead. I hope you all managed to get out in the sun for a while. Take care. Love Suexx

  5. Hello Sandra and everyone,
    Lovely card Lillian the butterflies are a beautiful addition .
    We have had a lovely sunny day, I managed to get out into the garden for a while, it’s good to see plants and shrubs starting to wake up, I love seeing the new growth appear, it’s like they are saying that was a great sleep!!
    Sonia, how lovely for you to see Teddy starting to walk, it’s so exciting watching his progress and as you say you need eyes in the back of your head. Enjoy every moment.
    Karen hope you enjoyed you break.
    Sandra it sounds as though Paul has more than enough to do in the garden, with so many vegetables you could have a market stall.
    Hope that your weekend has been good and you have a great week ahead.
    Hugs Brenda xxx

  6. Evening All , a lovely sunny day at last. Still a chill breeze which dried the washing great

    Thank you for showing my card, I’m not very good at measuring pieces, but Sandra explained it so well, it was fairly easy, apart from I scored the back instead of the front.

    The new fussy cutting books are very good , going to try a journal page next.

    I’ll wish you all a good night, Lilian
