Something Old & Something New

 



Happy Birthday 
πŸŽˆπŸŽ‰ Karen πŸŽ‰πŸŽˆ

Good Morning Ladies, 

Please join me in wishing our Lovely Karen a Very Happy Birthday πŸŽ‚ πŸ₯³πŸΉ❤️

Well we were trying to hold out until November but it was too chilly yesterday afternoon so we put the heating back on timer, I think we have had it on twice, once back in September and the  a week or so back when it was super chilly upstairs,  the trouble is I hate having the bedroom hot and stuffy in the morning,  I prefer to have the window open and fresh air flowing through,it just feels more 'cleansing ' than breathing in the hot stuffy air!  Is it just me??? 

I had a bit of a 'blue' day yesterday,  I think it was because its the first day in a few weeks that I have been totally on my own, as Paul will choose to go into the office when he knows the girls are here,  I was at my desk bright and early but couldn't get my mind focused on anything,  I was still sat rushing to finish this card at 7pm!!  When Becca rang me mid morning,  I felt sick, nobody ever rings our house phone, except hospital,  Drs etc, so I immediately thought they were ringing about my scan! πŸ™„πŸ˜ͺ       I have never been happier to hear Becca's voice but at the same time wanted to shout at her for calling house phone!! 

Today's card was very last minute and I'm not sure I even like it, I combined something 'Old' which was the tree stamp, which is a real old SU one, with something 'New,' which is the Tim Holtz Tiny sentiments.  It's all in Old Olive ink, card and ribbon.  I think I shouldn't of added the green ink to the pine branch embossing!  Lesson learnt!  Less is more! 

I hope that you all have a good day,

Love & hugs to all of you,

Sandra xxx

  3. Hi Sandra and all looking in. Thank you for the kind words about my card yesterday.
    Lilian, the arched shape of the card base is the largest of a Temu set of 16. It measures 14cm x 10.8cm The smallest in the set is 4.4cm x 1.3cm.
    Sandra, I hope you have managed to sit and relax at your desk today my lovely xx
    Not been a very productive day for me today. I hope tomorrow is better!
    Enjoy your evening. Take care. Love Sue xx

  4. Sandra, I think your card is lovely. That stamp is beautiful, a real Christmas tree shape which aren’t always easy to find. I like how you have lightly inked over the embossing folder too xx

  5. Hello All, a really grey day, washing stil as wet as when it went out, back to the tumble dryer.

    Sandra great card, I keep thinking I must do some soon. My “something blue”ended in the bin so shall have to start again tomorrow. Not felt up to much today, and I think those days are when things go wrong.
    Karen hope you had a lovely day
    Goodnight everyone, Lilian.

  6. Hello Sandra and everyone, Sorry I didn’t make it in yesterday, I was washed out after an almost sleepless night. So didn’t do very much all day. To day has been better, I even managed to do some housework this morning!!! This afternoon daughter came over with Ciara and Callum. Callum has just returned from his Inter Railing around Europe, which he really enjoyed and is now planning his next adventure. Although Mum suggest he look for a job first!
    I love the Cream card on yesterday’s blog made by Sue a real classic. And today’s Christmas card is very inspiring , my favourite colour and not to fussy, love it.
    Good night everyone, Take care Love Brenda xxx
