Our Challenge makes

 





Good Sunday Morning Ladies,

From a very gloomy Gloucestershire, I think the sun has gone on holiday!  We had to have lights on from lunchtime yesterday. 

Now, talking of holidays I overheard this very 'trendy' looking woman in Tesco yesterday (Paul had abandoned down the bread aisle while he was looking at Bagels)  Her friend asked her if she managed to get a 'holiday' booked,  her reply  ....       Yes we have booked our "Recalibration Break' for a week at the end of the month.                                        What on earth is a 'Recalibration Break'!!!                Obviously a "holiday ''  but is it 'Woke", 'Trendy', Hippy or just downright ridiculous, I'm proper confused,  which probably means that I definitely need a 'Recalibration Break'  🙄😂🤣

Let's have a look at you have been making: 

Karen



Karen's Description:

Card 1 :  Here’s a “something old something new…” card

I have never used this Tattered Lace USB “Special Shaped cards” So cut HAPPY BIRTHDAY and To You to fit a DL envelope and the butterflies are from an old John Lockwood die set xx

Card 2:  A challenge card
Something old - Sue W Let it Snow 
Something new - Aall&Create background dies
Something blue - my favourite patterned paper pads

Two amazing cards Karen, I know you said that first card is one of the simplest you have ever made but it's fantastic,  a real mantelpiece pleaser!  So versatile too! 

Now I have to say that that Aall&Create border just seems to work with the snowy theme,  maybe its the abstract design,  it just works, that paper is perfect for the theme too.  

Thank you so much for 2 amazing cards for this challenge XXX

Lilian'sDescription:

here is my tag for this week, sorry it’s a bit like yours, I’ve been playing all week trying to get it the way I wanted.

Categories : something new : moon mask

                       Something old : ink and stamps ( night of navy )

                        Something blue: ink

                        Something borrowed: idea from Alison at words and pictures.

No apology necessary,  it's quite different to mine, I think you have been way more creative!                     I really appreciate the time you put into creating your lovely tag, the detail of the moon is amazing XXX 


Maria


Maria's Description:

Something new is the background die, something old is the die where the sentiment is stamped on ( think it's spellbinder 46). Jumped over borrowed and went straight to blue which is this shiny Blue card.

I am absolutely loving Plaid backgrounds at the moment,  so your card is ticking all of my boxes!  I love your design, that blue is gorgeous,  I really like that little book style tag for your sentiment too!        Thank you so much Maria for a lovely card XXX

I hope that you all have an enjoyable Sunday, 


Love and hugs to all of you,

  1. Lovely projects on display I have been asked by a couple of people for card this week but will I be able to fit the challenge? I doubt it 🤣
    The weather is extremely dull here and I feel quite lethargic Think it's a combination of several late nights and I had covid jab yesterday Maybe I need a recalibration holiday too Where shall we go

  2. Hi everyone
    Wonderful card's, Karen, Lilian and Sandra. I love the moon on the tag Lilian. I spoke to it many times when I was little 😉
    I had to look the word up and it means something like to chance or something different 😊 never heard that word before tho.
    I'm feeling more awake today but my head is a bit fussy. Maybe it is the meds but nothing have changed yet, some of them will be increased by next order.
    Not doing much today. OH watching the football while I am reading a bit..
    Have a good day everyone and take care of yourself. Hugs to you all, Maria xx

  3. Hi everyone, another very grey, dull day, not raining but there is a lot of moisture in the air.
    Love all the cards today, think I should have used a smaller moon stencil.
    Been busy doing mending this afternoon, so now my back is aching. Hope you are all ok , Lilian
