A look back at our craft projects

 




Good Sunday Morning Ladies,  

I'll be glad of a nice lazy Sunday,  we left late morning to go shopping,  popped to Garden centre first to get some trailing pansies,  of course they had none left 🙄 I did get some half price bulbs though.   We then did the food shop, which took up the rest of the afternoon,   we didn't get home until 5.30pm,  I've never been so desperate for a cup of tea 😅 

Let's look at what you have been making...

Lilian's Description:

Hi, here is my tag for the challenge.

Thought a poppy tag would be good for this time of year. Hope you don’t mind.

I used ChatGPT for the poppies and the wording. 
My usual background with water colour paint and sponge.
Rather simple but I like it. Hope it’s ok.

Absolutely perfect for this month, those poppies are beautiful.  You sponged background is so perfect it looks like a beautiful printed paper. 

Thank you so much my lovely,  I hope you are having a lovely weekend with your family XXX


Karen


Karen's Description:

Card:  I made this earlier for my great great nephew Unfortunately it’s all “old” stuff Sue W die/stamp and embossing folder All the coloured card is from Lidl which I paper pieced back into the die x

2:  And 30 reindeer awaiting their Lindor chocolate! So 60 JND reindeer die cuts - new 

Antlers coloured with alcohol marker and CE glitter - old.

Love your card, so bright and cheerful,  perfect for these dull days.    Those Reindeers are lovely they will certainly come to life when you add the Lindor chocolates.   

Thank you so much for sharing your makes this week my lovely XXX 

Maria



Maria's Description:

I have played with an old die to make a couple of cards for Xmas. I used some new Christmas cards and cut them out with the die and then put them together differently by using a embossing folder as a background for one and the other one I put it back in but lifted it up a bit.

Maria I love your cards,  I have been looking at this die for a while,  I have some vintage Christmas scene papers that it might work with,  I just put in a Temu order, I should have looked for it on there.  

I love both of your designs, that cute kitten could almost be looking at those birds 🤣😂
Thank you so much for sharing two lovely Christmas cards my lovely XXX 

Gina 


Gina made this absolutely stunning Crystal Art Christmas wreath. I bet it catches the light and sparkles beautifully. 
Not really surprising to hear that when Gina took it to her card club it got snapped up straight away. 
I bet our Maria will love this too Gina. 
Thank you so much for sharing it with us XXX

I hope that you all have a lovely relaxed Sunday,  

Sending love and hugs to all,
