Oldie For Friday!

 

Good Morning Ladies,

I thought that today I would do the 'Oldie For Friday' idea that was started by a lady called Erika at

www.snappycrafts.BlogSpot.co.uk 

I think its a great idea to revisit some of our old makes as it can sometimes give us that 'mojo' boost that we all sometimes need. (well I definitely do).

Here's briefly what I did and used to make this card.











I have used the California Collection for the main element of the card, some felt flowers, cut out with Sue's Classic Rose Dies, and a silky crush ribbon bow, mounted on top of the Grand vinery cut out in white card, the background is embossed with the Heart Lattice Folder by Creative Expressions. The Italian Border die is used at the bottom of the card with a pearl trim laid over the top.
I hope you like todays card, would be perfect for a wedding or anniversary.

I bet you can all spot the mistake can't you?

Well its an easy one to make and I haven't made it since!

This card to me shows that sometime the simplest things are the most beautiful, there is something so 'perfect' about an all white card!

Well we have had an eventful week again in the 'Riley' house, Poor Matt left the house at 4.30 am and 45minutes later I get a call from him, very shaken and a little emotional to say that he had hit a Deer, it ran out in front of him and he couldn't stop, result one poor dead dear and £200 + worth of damage to his car, luckily he drives a big Ford Ranger so it protected him well but the bumper in it is huge and very expensive to replace.

Then Yesterday Becca is out driving in her little C1 and went on another mercy dash for Josh's dad, who was having a nose bleed, she was panicking and went down an enormous pothole which bent the wheel of her car, amazingly her tyre didn't burst as she would have panicked even more, she said she couldn't avoid it as there were cars coming the opposite direction. She has had the tracking re aligned on her car, luckily and very surprising these days her car came with a proper spare wheel, not one of those thin things, so the garage have swapped that for her and she is apparently having the wheel repaired.  The road it happened along , Sue and I have been travelling each week to get to Pats so I knew how bad it was, its a flaming disgrace, the Potholes are over a foot deep, if a cyclist or motorcyclist were to go over that they would be thrown off, so I rang the council today and gave them a piece of my mind.  We are now filling in a claim form so that she can get the money back for her repairs.  Apparently they have said that it costs them less to pay for the repairs of those that bother to claim than it does to repair the roads! What a disgraceful attitude is that!

Well I hope that you all have something exciting planned for the weekend , the girls break up for Easter Holidays today, so it will be nice to have them around the house, we haven't planned anything as yet.  When do you all start the Easter Break, I imagine a lot of you will be looking after your Grandchildren etc. 

I look forward to reading your comments, I need to make sure that we have all got booked in for the retreat weekend, I hope that Sam is back and well enough, we may have to ask him to hold a room for a couple of weeks, just in case.

I really hope she is ok bless her, I have asked Sue W to try and make contact too.

Love and Huge Hugs

Sandra
