A pretty card from Maria

 


Good Sunday Morning Ladies, 

Not our usual Sunday post, as we are all busy with family etc,  I will come up with a new Challenge in the next week or so.  

I had hoped to do some crafting yesterday but Paul fancied going out,  Soph was home so of course we ended up at a garden centre!   Lewis's parents bought her a Bonsai Tree for Christmas so she was looking for the little scissors etc that you need to look after them.  We were only out for an hour or so but it felt good being out of the house.   Later on Becca came over for some food, it was lovely catching up,  she bought a gift for Paul and I,  for Paul she had a beautiful canvas made of her & him on her wedding day,  it made me cry its so beautiful. My gift was a beautiful canvas of all of us on Becca's wedding day, so lovely 😍 

Today's card is one Maria shared with me, it's a card that she made for her Sister in law.  

Maria's Description:

I had to make a card for my sister in law whose birthday is on the 1st of January and this is what I made.

I used a card in a peachy colour and then used a embossing folder with words and made a few small flowers out of a John Lockwood die, they are Poinsettias but who would know 🤭😊

You are quite right my lovely those flower dies could be anything you want them to be, not just poinsettia!  

They colour is such a pretty shade of peach, the script embossed background is lovely,  so textured, it gives so much interest too. 

Your sister in law will feel special when she opens this lovely card. 

Thanks so much for sharing it with us. XXX 


Ladies I hope that you all have a lovely Sunday,  

Love and hugs to all of you, 

Sandra xxx

  3. Hi everyone
    Thanks for showing the card for my sister in law whose birthday is on the 1 of January.
    It be nice to sort out the room and start afresh with making birthday cards again. Wondering what our first challenge will be.....?
    What a lovely thing for Rebecca to give you and Paul, I can understand why you had a little cry.🤗
    Went out for a couple of hours just to stock up for the New year and to have a coffee today. It was cold but nice to people watch.
    This afternoon was watching "the Mercedes" on Netflix. Not sure I like it but still want to know what happens next type of serie.
    I hope you are all keeping well and had a nice day. Many hugs to you all xxx

  4. Hello all. Had an ache in all my bones today.
    Maria your cards is beautiful, that peach colour is delightful, I’m sure your sister-in- law will love it.
    Not done much today, apart from making a new year card, which was a disaster more paper in the bin.
    Cleaner here tomorrow thank goodness, everything needs a good dust and vacuum around.
    Goodnight all , hugs to all. Lilian
