Good Saturday Morning Ladies,
I hope that you are all relaxed and looking forward to the weekend. What are you all up to? Brenda I am sure you will be celebrating your birthday with your family. Apart from weekly shopping we don't have any plans, which I am relieved about as for some reason I feel mentally & physically exhausted. There are lots of firework displays happening around us this weekend, Matt asked us if we'd like to go to one with him & Alex and some friends of theirs, when he said it was £17 each, Paul's eyes almost popped out of his head!! I actually couldn't think of anything worse. There are two different ones in the village, one at a Cider Farm, which sounds more up Paul's street, plus it's free!! I imagine we will watch them from home if at all. I do hope that whatever you are doing you have a lovely time.
Now lets have a look at a bit of shopping:
I bought some different decorative papers this week....
This was the pad I ordered from Amazon to use with my Sizzix Postage stamp die, I love the vintage Christmas scenes.
Now for something VERY bright & colourful:
Aren't these just a breath of fresh air?? This paper collection is called: Full of Life, which is a good description. I used one of these for yesterday's card
I love the colours in this collection as the name suggests it is very Autumnal.
Now lets look at Karen's shopping :
Some of my favourite cards of Karens are her Leaf cards, I think I have 3 versions, all slightly different styles, these are a two of them ..
I can't wait to see how you incorporate your new leaf dies into one of these designs.
Thank you so much for sharing your shopping my lovely XXX
That's all for today Ladies, I hope that you have a fantastic Saturday,
Love & hugs to all of you,

Great saying I move things around all of the time with the intention of throwing stuff away!
ReplyDeleteI had a bit of birthday money and decided to treat myself to these dies As you can see they are quite large comparing them to a 50p piece I love the distressed edges etc I have now ordered the matching stamps! Well it would have been rude not to!
We don’t have any plans for today OH will be off to Park Run in a mo and I need to get a bit of food shopping and do a bit of housework I need to sew some buttons onto some cardigans I have made Finish an Izzy doll for John Lewis and start crocheting another animal That’ll keep me busy this afternoon and evening 🤣
Take care everyone xx
Hi Sandra and all looking in. I’ve enjoyed looking at your gorgeous Christmas card on Thursday, it is a stunner. I love the bright and beautiful challenge. It will give everyone a very much needed boost of colour. It was just the same down in Devon as it is here in Oxfordshire!
ReplyDeleteThe winter scenes papers are fabulous, love them and how you used one to make that card. The other pads are great too, some lovely papers. I must have a look for them on Amazon.
Thank goodness the doc has spoken to you but the consultant will be able to explain the the mri fully, hopefully you haven’t got too long to wait to speak to him now xx
Karen, those leaf dies are fantastic and I love what you have done with them already. You should treat yourself sometimes xx
We are both completely worn out but we both had a lovely time seeing most of the family that are down in Devon so a great visit. And the afternoon we went up to adjoins Tor the thick mist lifted for a couple of hours unexpectedly just as we were driving there! It was as if it knew how much I needed to reset my brain. Within minutes of driving away the mist descended again! It often does that on the moor but we were so lucky it cleared at the perfect time for me. And it also meant that there were only a handful of people up there and none around the part I love the most. I have slept more since we got back than I have for I don’t know how long and could happily shut my eyes again now 🤭 Have a good Saturday. I’m off to do some laundry then maybe a bit of crafting if I can stay awake 🤞🏼. Take care. Love Sue xx
Hello everyone, wet here today, BUT we are going to have some sun next week.
ReplyDeleteKaren your leaf dies are really good, the matching stamps will be the perfect pairing.
That saying is so true, I’m always moving stuff trying to make more room, but you know what they say “ you can’t fit a quart in a pint pot” I must get rid of some I have several old die cutting machines waiting for me to get rid of them.
Hope you all have a good evening, Lilian
Sorry forgot to say loved the cards you made. Sandra loved your backing papers, you know I love papers.
ReplyDeleteHi everyone
ReplyDeleteYes that's saying is true. Happening every time I'm in the craftroom 😊
Fabulous papers. What fantastic colours, I love them. Also the Autumn ones are very good.
Lovely leaf cards and I like your shopping Karen, it be interesting to see your cards later on.
Only went to Lidl for a few days food and then I was reading and crystal art making this afternoon .
I hope that you were having a good day everyone and Brenda, hope your weekend is great fun.
Big hugs to you all, Maria xxx
