Die cut card with pixie powder background

 


Good Morning Ladies, 

Well these last few days of our holiday are whizzing by,  we went to the beach yesterday but it was quite windy all day,  we were hoping to go out to a local pizza restaurant last night but they were fully booked,  which surprised us as its still early in the season here,  we have booked for tonight though, so we still get to go. 

Brenda I hope your visit to the Marsden wasn't too exhausting xxx

Lilian I hope you managed to save your tomato plants,  I am dreading seeing what state the garden is in when we get back, I hope they watered everything. Xxx

Karen I hope bowls isn't too hot and you manage another win!  We have been playing Boules in the evening,  the french probably look on in horror!   We still have the coloured plastic boule set from when the kids were small, they are heavy though, I think we should invest in some decent ones. xxx

Today's card is another I made to use up some of my pile of pixie powder backgrounds.  I used a Tim Holtz background die to cut the top layer and stamped the sentiment before adhering it to the background.  I placed the finished piece on to a 6x6 inch card base  

I hope that you all hava a great day, 

Love & hugs to all, 

Sandra xxx

  3. Lovely card, i have this die this Tim Holtz die, with any background paper it creates a great card, a great tie to add to your collection,
    Royal Marsden went well, i was able to get hospital transport so was a lot less tiring, the good news is I don’t have to return for six months.
    Lilian i hope your tomato plants have survived and the greenhouse can be repaired.
    Karen hope the bowls went well.
    Sandra enjoy your boules. We still have a set from when the girls were young, they were used when the grandchildren came over.
    Hope everyone is coping with the heat,
    Take care, love Brenda xxx

  4. Hi everyone
    A lovely card. The colours coming through nicely behind the cut out.
    Hope you enjoyed the pizza tonight. According to a travel programme the people going abroad has gone up so maybe therefore it looks busier. Have a lovely day tomorrow.
    Good news Brenda. Hope you had a relaxing day today.
    Karen, have fun tonight with the concert.
    I feel for you Sonia to have to work in this heat.You take care .
    I will need a x-ray for my heel so now waiting for a date. While we sat in the reception area it was a few who came in after needing blood tests and was told there was nothing until October 🤭
    The heat was extra hard for me today and I know that the weekend will be hotter. Maybe if I sit in a cold bath might help 😀
    Good night everyone. Hugs to you all xxx

  5. H Sandra and all looking in. A lovely card and a great way to use up some backgrounds I just usually put in a box with other backgrounds!
    Mum would love to know you have been playing boule/ Pétanque, you know how much she loved to play. I hope you enjoyed your pizza tonight xx
    Brenda, great to hear you don’t have to go to the Marsden for 6 months now, and that the hospital transport went well for you xx
    We had a wonderful day at Longleat with Phoebe and her friend. The weather was perfect, light cloud and a nice breeze.
    Sleep well if you can everyone. Take care. Love Sue xx
