The last of my One Colour cards


 

Good Morning Ladies,  

Yesterday disappeared in a blur,  we went for dress fittings for Becca, Lucy & Emily (Another bridesmaid), we were there a while, she is so clever though, she has created a perfect underskirt for Becca's dress, that is fitted in with poppers so that it's easy for Becca or me to take off for the evening,  she also added a tiny hoop that you can't see along a seam on the back of her dress to create a 'bustle hook' so that her train can be lifted and attached to the laced area of her dress for dancing etc, the dress still hangs beautifully when hooked up.  She also immediately found a solution to Lucy's worry, which was what bra to wear,  she is sewing in padded cups , which gives more shape to the top of her dress too, the girls are both skinny minny's and need quite a bit taking in on the waist of their dresses. The alterations cost more than their dresses! 

Becca came back to ours as she was desperate for Jacket potato cheese & beans,   so I made her that and then we did wedding admin, to do lists etc, Lucy created a few of the signs etc on Canva for Becca to get printed, so she was happy that we got some bits ticked off. 

Today Becca is taking me dress shopping, 🙄, I am looking forward to it, I hate shop changing rooms!  

Todays card is the last of the cards I made for while I was away,  this one is made in the same way that the other two were made.  A simple style but effective. 

I hope you all have a good day, 

Love & hugs to all,

Sandra xxx

  1. Very pretty I love making a style of card that can then be repeated in a different way - another challenge? Two cards in different colour combinations?
    Enjoy your day with BECCA One tip - try and think outside the box and try on loads of different styles and maybe think about a jumpsuit or trouser suit too Changing rooms are different these days - none of this communal stuff The ones here are fairly big or buy 2-3 things and try them on at home and return what you don’t like Most of all enjoy your time out with BECCA
    Looking after the boys today - yippee Take care everyone xx

  2. Hi, hope the shopping is going well.

    The grandchildren have left after lunch, think they were a bit bored. We tried a jigsaw, but it was VERY hard, the hardest one I’ve done.
    Great card today, love that style.
    I think I need a nap now, before I get the bedroom ready for daughter when she comes tomorrow. Going to be shattered after the weekend
    Have a good rest of the day. Lilian

    Karen, have a great time with the grandchildren. They growing up so fast .
    Lilian, don't overdo things. Try to have brakes when you can. Enjoy having your daughter at home.
    We went into the city today for haircuts and some shopping. After some lunch I did get in to the craft room and managed to make a card but then I sat on the bed to read but it didn't take long before I was in the land of nod too 🥴 why is it that we are all so tired?
    Sending my love and hugs to you all as usual, xxx

  4. Lovely card, the style is different and a great way to use your co-ordinating papers.
    Im sure you will find the perfect outfit for Becca’s wedding soon, keep an open mind, your perfect outfit is out there xx
