Our makes this week

 





Good Sunday Morning Ladies,  

I'm not sure if it was just me yesterday but it felt muggy/ humid and horrible all day, it felt like we needed a good thunderstorm to clear the air.  I am hoping that you were all more comfortable.  I had a slight reprieve when we drove to Costco as I could have air conditioning on in car!   I spoke to Matt yesterday,  he is on a Nile cruise, he sounded like his chest was really congested, he said Friday was a right off as he was sick all day,  apart from that they have had a lovely time,  seen some amazing sights too, he said the 45° heat zaps your energy thou and he found himself needing a 'Nana Nap'🤣😂   They started off in a hotel, that had its own private beach, he was hoping it meant that they wouldn't get dogged by people trying to sell you junk,  that wasn't the case, he told me that one day he was offered by 15 different people to get a massage!  We joked and said, you won't get that on the ship,  haha how wrong we were,  these tiny boats with people on selling everything from the robes they wear to carpets,   he showed me them, they attach themselves to the ship with ropes and literally throw bags of their 'wares'up on to the decks,  if you want what they are selling, he said they stay tied on for miles!  I'm surprised the Captain allows it to be honest.  

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

Karen


Karen's Description:

Here’s a challenge card played again in Serif aligning the 4 squares and taking the transparency down on 3 of them Printed sentiment Trimmed down to be a square Matted onto black and added 3 SueW butterflies

So pretty Karen, I can't believe that we both made the same style card at the same time.  Why didn't I do shades of one colour though??!   The shades of yellow you have used are soft and pretty. 

Thank you so much for supporting the challenge Karen XXX

Maria 


Maria's Description:

A little card this week for Sunday or any day as it's not completely one colour, sorry but mojo have gone on holiday for card making at the mo.  

Oh Maria it's perfect for the challenge as its shades of one colour!   I love your card, it looks like a complicated fancy fold, is it die cut?  I love the soft sheen from the card too. 

Thank you so much for creating a card for the challenge Maria XXX

I hope that you all enjoy the rest of the weekend,  

Love and hugs to all of you,

  3. Hi everyone
    Gorgeous card Karen and beautiful ones from you Sandra. Yes mine is a new die so I'm going to use it again this week.
    Sorry to hear that you are feeling so rough Karen, gentle hugs and wishes for a speedy recovery my friend.
    Hope you have a good day Sue.
    Lilian, hope you have a lovely day with family around. Take care.
    We went for a little walk this morning and then had coffee at a pub sat down the Union Canal, I nearly choked when OH told me the price, £ 9 for two Americano ! 🥴
    I remember our journey down the Nile and they did the same on our boat 🙂 7 am in the morning before the sun was up. Carpets, clothes and jewellery was thrown up and the staff throw it back again. They unhook their boat and off they went.
    Football on TV so I'm going to do some crystal.
    Have a good day everyone. Hugs xxx

  4. Hi all, firstly I’m sorry I didn’t get a challenge piece done this week. The grandchildren are time consuming. Mimi is 12 and Oscar is 14.
    Then my daughter and her hubby have been down for the weekend, she is waiting for her hip replacement surgery. So we shan’t see her for a while now.
    Looking forward to using my new oxides mini’s, so just have find some new stamps I haven’t used.
    Love all the cards today. Good night. Lilian
