Good Sunday Morning Ladies,
Just a quickie today as I am feeling a bit low, we all go through these days don't we. Sometimes things that wouldn't normally bother you really get to you.
Anyway crafting makes everything better, although I struggled with inspiration this week, I have to make myself sit and create something on these days, once I get the idea in my head I generally enjoy creating.
Let's look at what you have been creating Karen & Lilian.....
Karen
Karen's Description:
Card 1: A card made with bit box pieces
A Pixie Powder background, scraps of black card
The white “topper” was a discarded card blank I’d spoiled and blow me I didn’t cut it straight So stuck it on the wonk and added the black pearls
Card 2: A 2nd card for the challenge using waste/bit box
The HAPPY (a SueW die) is waste from making shaker cards As they were slightly different whites I smooshed DO over them I cut BIRTHDAY in one and backed it in black
I offset them because I didn’t think I could line them up
Two amazing Bit Box cards, those pixie powders look so lovely, the gold mica, love your layout too, adding those black pearls really highlights that offset design.
You can't go wrong with a DO background, its good to get those old dies out again too. Great card for any gender.
Thank you so much for supporting the blog with two lovely cards. XXX
Lilian
Lilian's Description:
Hi, Here is my challenge piece for this week.
I used pressed leaves, which I shall never use again, as I tried to stick them down they just crumple. The other bits are ephemera from several places.
Oh Lilian, I know the pressed leaves were a pain to stick but my goodness they are so beautiful, I love the pinky red tinge to the edges of the leaves, they are so delicate and pretty.
I love the background you have created and those darling little woodland animals bring the cuteness.
Thank you so very much for taking the time to create something for today's blog post my lovely XXX

I hope that you all have a lovely Sunday,
Love and hugs to all of you,

Hi everyone
ReplyDeleteBeautiful creations this week 😍
Sorry I didn’t get in yesterday and sorry no card from me for today.
Anniversary cards to finish this week so I’ll definitely have something to share next week!
We had a lovely day yesterday celebrating mum and dad’s 60th wedding anniversary. It was so lovely to see friends and family again after so long. I think mum and dad enjoyed it and everyone loved the slide show and photos with messages I’d displayed ☺️ We also had a lovely meal last night, but by the end of the evening we were all pretty tired! I actually had the best nights sleep I’ve had in weeks!
Sandra, I hope you’re feeling better today and slept well last night 🥰
Sue enjoy your family day at Longleat 😊 We’re off to the Centre Parcs there in June for Teddy’s birthday.
Have a good day everyone
Sending hugs to you all xx
Lovely makes I found this quite hard as most of my waste is white card because I print a lot of stuff Was good to use something I’d created years ago -PP piece and to actually use the HAPPY pieces I’d been saving
ReplyDeleteWe’re playing bowls this afternoon so I hope the weather cheers up
Take care everyone xx
Good morning everyone, another rainy day, so miss the sunshine.
ReplyDeleteKaren your cards are great, different inspiration every week. I must do more printing.
Sorry to hear you are feeling so low at the moment, I think we can all sympathise with those feeling . I don’t know if you do any other crafts, but I find switching crafts a great help. Crochet is good , I know I only do easy stuff but I enjoy it, going to try making a cardigan for myself next. I don’t do baking buts it’s also good, plus you get some delicious makes. How about some sewing, if you have some fabric stashed away. You can always recycle unused clothes or bedding.
Enjoy your day, and sending big hugs.
