Good Sunday Morning Ladies,
I hope you are enjoying a lovely relaxing Sunday, fingers crossed for some good weather today! We did our trip to the tip yesterday and got rid of loads of garden waste and a load of bags of clothes that the girls sorted out a couple of weeks ago, I love the feeling of decluttering! Stopped at the garden centre on the way home and picked up 9 large terracotta pots for £15, I'm not sure why they were that price as they were supposed to be £3 each pot so should have been £27 !! But we weren't complaining, we did have to evict a very large 8 legged stowaway from one of the pots though, I noticed him just as Paul picked the pot up to put it in the car, he nearly dropped the pot when i told him!
We just pottered in the garden for the rest of the afternoon, ticking those jobs off the list! What did you all get up to ???
Let's see what you have all been designing for Maria's challenge......
Michele
Michele made a lovely card perfect for this weeks 'Shades of One Colour " challenge, she used a lovely 'Little Claire ' topper featuring two lovely cats and then used shades of purple that work beautifully with the topper.
Absolutely lovely card Michele, thank you so much for taking part in Maria's challenge XXX

Maria's Description:
"My first card today is in Lilac. I found a piece of paper with pretty flowers
so used that and also cut out a couple to make the flower on top.
The second card is made with a die from Christina Griffiths and an old Get well
soon sentence in my stash, all made in pinks."
Two beautiful cards from Maria for our Challenge this week, that purple paper is so pretty, I am glad you left the design simple so that the paper is the star of the show.
Your second card is stunning that Christina die is lovely, enhanced by your colouring, with that beautiful die cut panel the card looks perfect with a simple sentiment. Thank you so much for suggesting this weeks challenge XXX

Lilian's Description:
Hi, here is my card for this week, as you can see my magazine came today, haven’t had chance to really look at it yet, but love the flower stamps. Used two of them on this card. Also used the new mica powders, can’t see they are much different from other I have.
Wow Lilian you have made me excited for having a play with my magazine freebies now, your card is awesome, I love those flowers and the beautiful wreath you have created with them too. Did you buy the extra dies? Thank you so much for supporting Maria's challenge XXX
Sonia
Sonia's Description:
I’ve used Speckled Egg with the Tim Holtz snowflake die. The sentiment is from a Woodware stamp.
On the second card I’ve used Tattered Rose with a Tim Holtz stencil and the butterfly.
Two absolutely stunning cards Sonia, that snowflake die is gorgeous and looks amazing inked up with Speckled Egg, I do love that colour. How gorgeous does Tattered Rose look on your second card, it's a very under rated colour I think, it blends out to such a lovely soft peach colour.
Thank you so much Sonia for sharing two amazing cards for Maria's Challenge. XXX
