A look back at your lovely makes

 





Good Sunday Morning Ladies, 

I hope that you all had an enjoyable Saturday,   we were lucky with the weather yesterday,  it was perfect for wandering through the gardens at Eden project.  I hired an electric scooter so that Paul could walk beside me, plus there are some pretty steep hills!  But I think it was 'daylight robbery', it was £20 to hire for the day!!  I enjoyed the independence though.  The Mediterranean Biome had much more in this time, so many varieties of chillies and tomatoes,  different variations of herbs.

The day was finished off perfectly spending the evening with Lilian & Roger,  I know you'll be shocked to know that we chatted so much the evening just disappeared,   we got there around 5.15pm,  we had a lovely fish & chip tea,  the fish was incredible, with crispy  light batter😋,  you can tell when the fish is freshly caught.  We sat and chatted after dinner and before I knew it it was after 9pm,  I felt terrible,  as we only planned stay a couple of hours!   I think thats the definite sign that you are with enjoyable company.

Thank you Lilian & Roger for a lovely evening and delicious fish & chips 😘

Karen, did you buy anything at the lovely sewing/fabrics shop you visited yesterday?? 


Let's look back at some of your makes....


Lilian 


Lilian's Description :

Hi, here is my card for tomorrow, sorry it’s late.
Lavinia stamps for the wreath, hobby art for the cottage and stickles for the berries. 

I am sharing a throwback card from November 2023 for Lilian..

A perfect Christmas scene in a beautiful frame Lilian.  I'd rather enjoy Christmas in that little cottage 😄
Thank you for sharing it with us XXX

Karen's Description:

Here’s a challenge card
Lilian inspired me to get my SueW New York dies SueW poinsettia dies Nuvo drops and do you remember the TL dies - the long fronds but can’t remember name
JL leaves (mulberry?)
New latest Merry Christmas stamp heat embossed in old copper powder

I just love clean and simple cards and this one is beautiful, the vellum poinsettia adds to the simplicity,  it makes the poinsettia look so delicate. 

Thank you so much my lovely for a sharing this pretty Christmas card to inspire us XXX


Sonia


I used a card from October 2023 for Sonia for this week....
Sonia's Description:

I used an Amazing Paper Grace die set and Tim Holtz butterfly. The sentiment is from JustRite stamps. The papers were free online ☺️

To me Kraft card is as Autumnal as it gets, I really love that die too. Thank you so much for more Kraft Inspiration XXX

Maria


Marias Description:

Hi  here is my card for this week. 
I used some stamps I hadn't used before so here they are.
The card got a bit dark but hey ho... 🤭😊 All products are from Temu.





Maria what a lovely card, I don't think its too dark either,  its a lovely dark Autumnal red.😍
I love how you have added sparkle/splatters around the dandelions,  it looks like their seeds are dispersing.  
Those are two brilliant stamp sets too,  you should challenge yourself to how many combinations you can make from them. 

Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful card with us XXX 

**************
I hope that you all have a lovely Sunday,  

Love to all,

Sandra xxx

    Sounds like you had a lovely day visiting The Eden Project and seeing Lilian That’s the problem isn’t it when visiting good friends, time just disappears
    I thoroughly enjoyed my little trip out Perfect weather and it was just lovely to be in a different environment and to be in a proper wool and fabric shop It was so easy to get to and the trains/buses played nicely - a real bonus
    Yes, I bought a little bit of yarn, only 3 balls of Aran weight to make Toft animals I need to use a thicker yarn at mo cuz my sight is so bad This will keep me going until my new prescription The lady was lovely and I recognised her from when she worked in John Lewis We had a lovely chat I then found a gorgeous tea room and had a snack and toilet break before getting the train home Will definitely visit again
    Nothing planned today
    Take care everyone xx

  2. Hi everyone
    Beautiful cards ladies. Lilian have given me an idea for a card 😄. Glad you had a great time at the Eden project and also a visit to our Lilian in lovely Cornwall.
    Done some washing today and I think that will be it for today 😊 I have a crystal work on the go so while OH watching the football I might do a bit of that.
    Feeling the cold but don't want to put the heating on just yet so wearing a fleece jacket and softies. I hope that you all keeping warm and feeling okay. Sending you all hugs 🤗 Maria xxx

  4. Hello everyone, especially Sandra and Paul.
    Have to say how lovely it was to have you here. Roger is not the chatty sort, so it was lovely to have a good ‘ chinwog ‘ with you.
    All the cards are great today.
    Going to make sure I do some work for the blog this week.
    Going to have visit with the diabetic nurse to morrow. She will also do my 6th monthly checkup. She is very nice, but very though.
    Not much else going on,
    Have a good night all. Lilian
