Sunday look at what we made this week

 






Good Sunday Morning Ladies, 

Fingers crossed that today might be warmer,  it was -7 until about 10am yesterday.  We drove through Bourton on Water and it looked so strange seeing the 'mist' floating above the water almost like it was steam as the water was warmer from the air.  It was so incredibly busy there too,  the cold didn't put the tourists off!! 

Maria I hope that your journey was smooth and the scenery is as beautiful as you remember xx

Sonia I bet your Dad loved the card you made for him,  it's so much nicer to receive hand made cards, although I think only another crafter truly understands the true value of a handmade card, enjoy your weekend off my lovely xx

Karen, welcome home,  you have been missed,  I can't wait to hear all about your holiday,  I bet your fingers are itching to craft ! xx

Lilian I can't wait to see your 'sewn' detail on your cards, Paul got my machine down weeks ago bit I haven't even got it out of the bag yet.  xx


Let's look at what you have been making......


Lilian 


Lilian's Description:

Hi, here is my card for this week.
Used Tim Holtz stamps and my zig water colour pens. Some of which are drying up, must use them more. Not sure where the stencil came from, I think it was a magazine freebie. I used one of Tracy’s 3x3 squares.

Such a beautiful card Lilian,  the colours in the background work so well with your main image,  your colouring is amazing as always,   the flowers are beautiful and I love the shading on the vase, it makes it look 3D.

Thank you so much for sharing your lovely card XXX 


Maria


Maria's Description:

I made this yellow and orange card. Thinking that yellow always makes you feel happier. The happy birthday die came this morning in the post from kokorossa, think it was them anyway 🤭 så that was lucky so I could finish it off 😊

You are so right my lovely,   yellow is a colour that instantly brightens your day!  I love that floral background die you have used!  The little ted centres really make the flowers pop.  Adding the black layer under your sentiment helps to lift it off the background,  it looks like one of those 'eclipse' cards  
Thank you so much for another lovely card, I hope that you have arrived safely at your hotel and that you enjoy every minute XXX

Sonia

Sonia used a new die that she received fron Temu to create this gorgeous card.  It is exactly 'Simple Floral ' card, I love the combination of colours you have uses and those tiny resin dots highlight those pretty little flowers perfectly.  

Thank you so much for sharing your lovely card with us XXX

Enjoy your Sunday my lovelies,   I hope that you all manage to stay warm & cosy x

Love and Hugs to all of you,

  1. Hello everyone
    It’s lovely to see your cards and to see brighter colours
    We thoroughly enjoyed our holiday I am so glad that OH packed another woolly hat which I wore on the way home I am missing the warmth, the wonderful staff, the not having to mess about cooking and someone else doing the cleaning! 🤣
    I would definitely do it again and pick up ship from Southampton There was none of this frantic need to get to the terminal to grab the cases They were all neatly laid out in deck order - a little bit of a queue but nothing like the airport
    Just feel rough from this chest infection So plenty of rest today
    Take care everyone xx

  3. Hi Sandra and all looking in.
    Some beautiful cards to enjoy. They are all so pretty.
    I can just imagine how pretty Bourton looked with everything touched by Jack Frost and the mist above the streams. Have a god day my lovely xx
    It is not quite as cold here and the fog has gone but it is very dull. Bring on blue skies and sunshine.
    Maria I hope you and R have a lovely time. I love seeing the photos without getting cold 🤭 xx
    Karen, I bet you have your woolly jumpers on now you are home to such cold weather. I hope you are taking it easy so you can shift your chest infection xx
    I didn’t get to my desk yesterday but did run up a couple of potato and onion bags for the kitchen and a few other bits of mending that needed doing. I just have to put the laces through the veg bags then onto clearing my desk. I am at last looking forward to getting back to card making. Have a good day. Take care. Love Sue xx
