Our makes this week

 





Good Sunday Morning Ladies,  

We had a lovely relaxing day yesterday,  which is exactly what I needed.  Well apart from popping out to return all of the dresses, jackets & shoes that I had ordered to try on for the wedding.  It felt good getting them all out of the way.  

The rest of the day we spent sitting on the deck, I finished another workshop piece.  I still somehow felt exhausted at the end of the day.  I think it's the antibiotics.  Maybe the wedding stress isn't helping either.  Only 2 more weeks.!!! 

Today is Matt's birthday,  its unusual for us to be in the UK for his birthday so we are going over to have a meal out with him this afternoon, we are going to Gloucester Quays, which is a shopping Outlet, they have a lovely Turkish Restaurant so that's where we are eating.  

Let's have a look at what you have been making this week....

Karen's Description:

Card 1:  I made this simple Sympathy card too for this challenge using Sizzix layer stencils

Card 2:  Just finished an eclipse card for the challenge using a Serif image The technique I adopted worked very well But the photo looks better than in real life I don’t think there is enough contrast It all looks a bit blurry but that could be my eyesight 
An old Sue W die set and I turned it into a tent fold card (Pink Frog)

Card 3:  This is better Same SueW dies Julie Hickey sentiment. 

What a creative week you have had Karen,   another incredible stencilled card, every colour combination is a winner!  
I love both of your Eclipse cards, I do agree that the darker image looks crisper.  I really love that butterfly image 😍 

Thank you so much for supporting this challenge XXX

Lilian's Description:  

Thought I’d do Christmas card today, the new Indigo Blu Magazine today so used the stamps and stencil from the kit.

Oh you are one of the lucky ones,  I didn't pre-order and it sold out straight away, so I'm guessing it must be a good one!  
Your card is amazing,  love the papers and those stamps,  I also love the technique of edging the layers with peel-offs, they give a lovely neat finish.  

Thank you so much for supporting the challenge,  I do hope that you are feeling better after your dentist visit.  XXX

I hope that you all have a lovely weekend, 

Love & hugs to all of you,

    I haven’t seen IndigoBlu on HobbyMaker recently I wonder if they’ve jumped ship and will be on the new Hobbycraft channel
    I have kept the template for lining up the dies on Serif So I might try a stamped image this week
    We went to Aylesbury yesterday for a Salsa session and concert We had brilliant fun Plus I bought a Levi lookylikey jacket from Primark for £9 - an absolute bargain
    We have a bowls match today and that’s all of the energy I expect to expend!
    Have a lovely day ladies and take care xx
