Sizzix Wreath stencil card

 


Good Friday Morning Ladies,  

Busy day here today,  I think I have most of the Christmas cards I need, I just need to sit and get them ready to post.   Then I have to pack for our long weekend away,  we are going to visit Paul's Mum on Saturday and then we'll continue the journey down to Cornwall to visit the Eden Project and see our Lilian,  I am more excited about that more than the Eden centre.  

We have waited to make the final decision wether to go based on my Blood results etc,  the urine wasn't a 'certain ' clear, it keeps showing some Staph' cells,  but no blood which is unusual for me,  the blood showed that my liver was Ok too,  which was a sigh of relief.  The nurse said... 'because my liver is ok she has put a short course of Nitrofurantoin into the pharmacy for me to take away',  I'm hoping she is just being cautious and isn't expecting it to flare up !! 

I finally got around to using my Sizzix Wreath Stencil after so much inspiration from our Karen.    I decided to use it on Kraft card for a different look,  I used Distress inks Mowed Lawn, Rustic Wilderness,  Gathered Twigs & Festive Berries,  I used the Festive Berries to colour the edges of a piece of card to create a mat, I stamped one of my Gina K sentiments and die cut it and popped it in the centre of the wreath.  A few red sparkles  finished the festive look.  

I hope that you all have a great Friday, 

Love and hugs to all,

  1. Hi everyone
    I love your beautiful card 😍 The wreath stencil is lovely and I love it on the Kraft card 😊
    Your weekend away will be lovely. You and Paul deserve the break and some quality time together 😊 How lovely to be visiting our Lilian, I bet you both can’t wait to see each other. Have a wonderful time 😊
    Maria, I’m sorry to hear about your mum and dad, hope they are ok and thinking of you xx
    Brenda, how lovely to visit your friends in their new retirement home. I can imagine how beautiful it is. I remember when I started working at Hampshire Lakes and was shown around and thinking it was like a luxury hotel. I’m sure they will be very happy there 😊
    Ooh, nearly forgot to say Sizzix has a massive sale on their website. Some things are 60% off. I know I shouldn’t but I’ve got some bits in my basket and it’s too good to miss ☺️
    Have a good day everyone
    Sending hugs to you all xx

  3. Hi everyone
    Beautiful card. Lovely wreath.
    Have a wonderful few days away and how lovely to meet up with our Lilian after all this time. 😊 Have a great time.
    Nice Brenda that you came out to see your friends.
    Karen, hope you had fun at the bowl club tonight.
    Sonia, thank you. Also thanks for letting us know about the sizzix sale. I will have a quick look 😉
    I've not had a good day (probably stress) but hoping to be able to go to a garden centre tomorrow just outside MK. I booked it some time ago as they do have some special weekends with music, food and Santa's grotto. Times you wished you had some grandkids to take with, maybe I could borrow a little one when we get there 🤭
    Sending hugs to you all. Take care xxx
