Maria's gorgeous Card



 

Good Morning Ladies,
Today's beautiful card has been designed by Maria.
Maria, this card is just so beautiful, you have put so much thought into the design and everything matches so perfectly, from the colour of ink you have used to the stunning background paper.
I see that you have used the Phill Martin 'With Love' stamp from his lovely range of stamps that he has designed, they do seem to stamp very well, the rose really finishes off the border stamps beautifully, they look so neat and fit your design perfectly.
I see that you have used some of Sue Wilsons Dies too, including the Dandelion Clocks, The Perfect Peony (with matching stamps) and the Splendid Swirls too, all produced by Creative Expressions.
Thank you so much for allowing me to share your stunning card with everyone today Maria xxx
Love and Hugs
Sandra

    Good morning all, hope you are all well.
    SANDRA and family, hope you are still having fun I the sun!!
    MARIA:- your card is absolutely amazing. I love it, right up my street.
    Everything set up for the day, looking good and lots of nice things in the Cooler Cabinet for everyone. I have popped one of the muffins in the toaster fo me. I will take that and my Tea over to the corner table to see who comes in, passes by or even keeps looking in the window to see what we are all about.
    LADIES:- I have to apologise to you all ..... I went off to bed last night and forgot to "Thank You" all for the lovely comments on my card yesterday, I really appreciate everyone of them.
    I have lots of things to finish off today. I am definitely going to get them done this morning. See you all a little later. xxx

      Good morning my lovely
      How did the card making go yesterday? Did you get the 21st card done?
      The sun is shining again this morning so I am about to slice up the watermelon that has been chilling in the fridge overnight, to take to the beach, we were there for 8 hours yesterday, so nice to see Paul relaxing, that's what makes the holiday for me and seeing the girls having so much fun for hours in the sea with nothing more than a ball!
      Well I hope the sun shines for you today too,
      Love and hugs

    Good morning Sandra and ladies.
    Wow. Maria this is beautiful, love your design, and how you have stamped round each side rather than just the once. All your layers, papers and embellishment go together so well.
    It was very quiet in the cafe last night, no high jinks. Is this you all trying to be extras good seeing how the boss has got internet and can keep a close eye on everything???
    Maureen, I hope you will come out of your craft room today and get some fresh air! You have been so busy making all your wonderful cards or making up your candle cups. Have you tied any of the cups up like the ones we saw in Edinburgh by any chance?
    Brenda ( LL) you to did to take some time to yourself and just relax, you have been here there and everywhere these last few days. So annoying for you when the doctors get it all wrong. No wonder your BP was up.
    Well I am off in to work to just be there to give Vicky a help as its the first morning she will have to do both the school runs. To be honest mum must think it's hard work,because to me once you have dropped Anna off, you come back and you have 25 mins in which to get things done before you take Beth. If you do it right it's nothing. But if she wants to pay me to be there I won't say NO as the money earned this week will go into the retreat jar.
    Right better make a move. Xxx

      Good morning Hazel,
      I am sure the girls will be thrilled to see you today, I hope that Vicky copes ok with the school runs, I guess it will be daunting to start with, I can't think of a lovelier person to show Vicky the ropes than you Hazel, I bet you don't just explain either, I bet you are a 'hands on' mentor!
      Have you decided what you are going to do with your spare time?
      You must be counting down the weeks until you and Patricia go on your annual break together, be good for youth relax for a week, it's been a busy summer for you my lovely!
      Enjoy your manicure,
      Love and hugs

      Hi Hazel
      Well I do hope you get paid for the time your putting in on training. Your good nature is just being taken advantage of otherwise. But I know you won't let that happen. Enjoy your retirement, you deserve it.

      I was going to ask you if you enjoyed your first day of Retirement yesterday but it looks as if full Retirement has yet to arrive!!
      Just make sure you don't do too much as you will be expected to do it all the time.
      Enjoy your Retirement

    Morning Ladies

    Maria-goodness, your card is a stunner. I love all the layers & details on it.

    Well-it looks like it's going to be a nice day here. Sun trying to peep through the clouds, no breeze!! I think I'll still take a lightweight waterproof jacket with me. Am meeting my friend on the bus-always risky as it could be full by the time it reaches her stop. This has happened before so we'll just meet at the end point in Southport.

    Good morning Sandra and all the lovely ladies
    Sandra it's good to see you dropping in, I hope you aren't being tutted at though because you are on the computer and the girls aren't and they are all desperate to get to the beach! Mind you a bit of role reversal never hurt anyone! It was so funny last night when Emma cooked dinner and Julian didn't appear the second she said it was ready - she sounded just like me when I. Moaning she hasn't come straight away. It was very funny but I didn't tell her why I was giggling. Have a lovely day at the beach today and don't forget the sun cream. Xxx
    Maria I have to say how beautiful your card is. I love the stamp you have used and you've stamped it so straight! I know mine would be wonky on at least one side! The paper you have used is very pretty too. It's nice to see the dandelion clocks making an appearance - they look interesting but I wasn't sure how they would look on a card - the answer is beautiful. Thank you so much for sharing, I hope you are feeling better today xxx
    Well the sun is out today and the forecast is good so washing on and floor mop out. Hazel enjoy seeing the girls today but don't do too much - you've got nails to be painted don't forget! Xxx
    I will try and pop back later on, if I've put the Hoover round I can reward myself with a cup of tea and a sit down! See you all later xxx

    I will try again, good morning ladies, first of all I love your card Maria it is beautiful ! I love the colour and the sentiment and the gorgeous flower , so pretty. I would love to treat myself to some of Phils handwritten sentiments but there always ses to be something else I need ( sorry about the mistake)
    But I'm not going back to fix it as that's how I lost the last comment.
    We had a glorious coastal walk yesterday sunshine all the way, but when it was time for golf the rain
    Came on and it was midge hell !
    Anyway I came home to great news , Apple have replaced my iPad and my daughter in Edinburgh is going to FedEx it to me , I can't wait, as I find using this phone so fiddly !
    Just enjoyed a lovely cup of tea and toasted muffin with cheese , will leave money in the pot as usual.
    Hope everyone has a lovely day and hugs to all xo

    Anyway Pat, pack your big knickers!!

    Ladies, Don't faint, I know I'm in a very early this morning. I have a big task to perform - to go to granddaughters school and collect her GCSE results!!!!!! No pressure there Ha ha. Then I have your phone her in Turkey and give her the news, be it good or bad. I am also holding my breath for a grandson in Essex, as he also gets his results today.

    I will be back sometime later, might need something added to the coffee though.

    Hi Sandra and all in the Cafe today. It is lovely to have you with us Sandra, I hope you have another lovely day at the beach. It is so satisfying watching the family relaxing isn't it, and with only a ball or book, no phones etc. Enjoy yourself my lovely : )
    Maria, what a beautiful card. I love the pretty colour and your stamping is fantastic. Thank you for sharing it with us : ) I hope you are feeling better today.
    Michele, enjoy your time off, it sounds like the weather is going to be kind to you. Is the flower show in or outdoors. I love the gorgeous scents of all of the flowers, especially when the sun heats up the marquee.
    Hazel, it will be odd not doing the school run for you. I wonder how Vicky will feel by the end of her first full school day? It is good to hear that you are having some "me" time. Enjoy the manicure.
    Anne, great news about your iPad. Have a good day, are you relaxing after your walk yesterday?
    Brenda littlelamb, I hope you are going to be able to relax today as you have been so busy lately. Glad to hear you got the cards all done.
    Maureen, you have been very busy too. Now you have the candles and most of the cards finished you must have a rest. How many more boys cards do you hope to make? I bet it all looks lovely. Don't forget to take a picture to share with us please.
    Diane, it sounds like you had a nice meal cooked by Emma. Is this to get her used to cooking for herself? Does she like cooking or will she find it a struggle to start with when she is at uni? From what the others have said you will have a lovely time in the area you will be staying when you take Emma to Aberdeen. Shopping and also lovely countryside, what a great combination (if you like shopping that is, I don't). Have a good day.
    Pat, I suppose you won't have to worry about the shark attack too much as we know how good you are at swimming : )
    Thank you for your kind words yesterday. My joints are a bit better, the rain and damp aren' t helping though and Sandra was right about lots of typing not helping my hands either. We are forecast a better day today but it is still quite grey here at the moment. I have to finish Phoebe's birthday card today. Can't believe she will be 6 tomorrow. Where do the years go?
    Have a good day everyone.Take care xx

    Hi Sandra
    Maria I just love your card. It looks fabulous. I love the dies you've used as well. Mind you all your cards are lovely. I've made a card for my sister in law in Australia and sent off. Wonder if it will take 3 weeks this time from Witney.
    I'm so glad the sun us now shining for you and the family and that Paul is having a good rest. Thanks for the heads up regarding the shark. As Sue has commented I'm such a good swimmer I'll soon outrun it. Not. Mind you it would be lovely to be able to swim. Mind you I do sink very nicely.
    Brenda I hope that you will be sending good news to your Granddaughter in Turkey and that your Grandson goes ok as well. Sophie my Granddaughters results were ok but she'd hoped to do better. She's retaking some again. I asked her when and she said they'd be extra to her A levels. She's already commandeered part of the living room to do the extra study, and has started already. I told her she'd forget in a year but she pointed to the living room wall which was covered in charts that she's out information on. It's just a shame she wasn't as throughly prepared before she set the exams in the first place. Her older sister told her to prepare this way as you had the information to hand while revising, but she wouldn't listen. Stay safe everyone and take care.

      Pat, I swim like a brick!! You and I must have gone to the same swimming school lol. Sorry to read about Sophie, but she's learnt a good lesson early on. Fail to prepare - prepare to fail. No matter what people say, life is the best teacher.
      I hope your holiday preparation is going well, don't forget your arm bands!!!

      Pat Maureen is so right, I some times think children need to fail to learn. Anna is very clever but she will find that its not easy as the time goes on. But she will need to fail to learn the lesson that she needs to work harder. Enjoy your holiday and relax. xxx

    Oh the fun and games started today. Eva the mum who took Anna all last year, decided last night she couldn't take Anna today, so Vicky had to do the Kinross run, so to save Beth having to go all the way there and then back to the school, then tonight she has to go get Anna again. Beth happy that I was taking her to school. Of coarse the other thing was there was no rolls for the pack lunches, funnily enough I had picked up 2 rolls from the paper shop, so that was another thing Vicky found out today, so she is going to pick up rolls from the shop near her. I also told her that there must be a tesco direct order due today - nothing been said. But they do need one, nothing to make the lunches we found enough to make Beth's and Anna will just buy a lunch. So oh yes Vicky has been thrown in at the deep end. She has my phone number if she needs help.
    That's me I'd better make a move and go get those nails done. xxx

Yes poor Vicky is learning quickly that the miles will be going on her car she is getting Lesley's old car once the new arrives, me I would rather drive my own then I know what I am driving. Don't get me wrong it's always serviced but it's 11,years old and done 180,000 miles if not a bit more. I am going to make a point of doing a pick up at least once a month.

    Maria your card is absolutely gorgeous, love everything about it. The colours are lovely.
    Diane There is a big Dunelm store and the Range has opened as well both down at the beach in Aberdeen, you will get everything you need between the two .
    Gorgeous weather here today for a change, going bowling this afternoon so it should be enjoyable playing in the dry instead of always getting soaked. Have just finished a card that was ordered, used the accordion die, was quite impressed with what it can do.Also bought the centre stepper and the midi centre and side stepper so hopefully will give me some ideas to be going on with.

    I see Hazel has been roped in already .... wonder how often that will happen!!
    That poor Vicky has an awful lot to put up with, she does not know the half. The run to take Anna to school is about a 50mile round trip. That's morning and evening might add.....!!!
    I was so surprised to here Hazel saying she was having her nails done. It's something she never does but it's about time she spoilt herself.
    Finished, cup and plate washed, money in the pot.
    I have finished the "order" cards just the boxes to make now. Better get them done, I will take the order along this afternoon to get them out of the way.

    Maria. Love your card. It is beautiful. Diane. Both Dunelm and The Range are good stores. As Wendy gas said you will get everything in one or the other. I like both stores. Having lunch with a friend today. It will be at M&S. We go to the big one at Camberley and she wants to get her husband's birthday present. Might see Scarlett later. Depends if she can fit me in in her busy schedule. 😄. Otherwise I may start the September cards. Several at the very beginning of the month. Nearly September already. I cannot believe it.

    Maria - your card is just beautiful in every way. I must look at those sentiments they look divine and I never seem to be able to see some I like so thank you for the tip. I love your colours so gentle but positive at the same time. I hope that makes sense.

    Sandra - so so pleased you're having some sunshine and time on the beach away from everything and nothing to do but please yourself. Come back all relaxed.

    I've managed to get 3 C.cards done this morning well assembled as I'd cut out the other day. They're not straightforward format so will only be 'special' ones.

    Sorry but we have beautiful sunshine again today and it's warmer than yesterday so it's an indoor afternoon.

    Hope Norah and Saba are OK and just busy.

    Forgot to say yesterday at the opticians they noticed I had a touch of Blepharitis at my eyelashes and recommended wiping them daily with baby shampoo diluted in warm water, I am going to have the softest eyelashes ever. I wonder if it make them grow longer!! Off to check this out on NHS web site.

Good thing I did because the next time I went they recommended using a lotion calked Blethasol instead as it worked better than baby shampoo - but it does cost more! Xxx

    Hello
    MARIA your card is so lovely I love it all
    HAZEL It's not easy to say No is it Been there got the T-shirt Until I got the "hang" of it I used to say that I was busy Never let on at what so it wasn't a lie either
    MICHELE I hope you're enjoying your day and have better weather than me
    PAT My first hol abroad was Salou I bet it's changed tons since then - enjoy
    PATRICIA this dry oil you mentioned - do you use it as a repellent I'm a bit neurotic re mozzies now after diagnosis I usually take wheat germ leading up to a holiday and now wonder if I need to do something else/on top of for trip to Cuba later this year
    I'm on tenterhooks waiting to hear from niece how her daughter got on with her GCSE's well done to all those that have mentioned their grandchildren

      KAREN:- both Hazel and I use the Dry Body Oil both to moisturise the skin plus a few extra "scoots" while we are on holiday to ward off the Mozzies. It certainly works for us. Vitamin B6 is supposed to be good to take ... or so I have heard. xxx

    Hi. Had a nice time with my friend today. Bought a jumper in M&S. Lightweight one. New in. No point in buying T.Shirts now. Hardly worn the new ones I got this year. No call from Scarlett so guess she is busy but will see her tomorrow (I hope so or she will be very disappointed). Going to start on a birthday card this evening. See you later

    WHY does my laptop let me comment on some posts so far down, then just refuses to let me do any more? Answers on a postcard please!!
    I'm delighted for all the proud Grandma's that their grandchildren have done so well with their GCSE's. There'll be celebratory teas in lots of houses tonight!! I for one know that Myra will be on the Champers (what's new there!) and Brenda OB will be have a glass of something. It may be water but what the heck, she's raising a glass.
    Hazel, what colour are your nails?
    Brenda LL, I hope you and Scarlett enjoy the pro-marker day.
    Cheryl hasn't been in today.
    Norah hasn't been in today.
    Busty Saba hasn't been in today.
    Where's Lynda?
    And have I slept through Dainty Diane's comment it wouldn't surprise me.
    (I love Dainty Dinah toffees)
    See you all later.

      Re! The posting - I have a theory! Would you like to hear it? Well you've got no choice - I think if someone else is trying to post at the same time it won't let you post too! Saba will probably tell me I'm nuts again! Xxx

    3. Patricia20 August 2015 at 19:34

      MYRA:- I actually think your theory could be the answer. If SABA tell you your nuts I must be as well. Well I already know that so its nothing new!!
      Hazel and I were just taking about Cheryl, wondering if she might be ill. Hopefully she's just busy.
      SABA:- is so tired when she gets home in the evenings she's not able to press the Publish Button. She will be back when her "play days" are over!!!
      I might go missing in a little while ... this is Thursay so Elaine "might" come ... she "might" not come ... who knows!! She has been coming early and going home before midnight. If she does come I might manage to sneek in later.
      I am tiered myself already, John and I have been stacking wood. Isobel's husband has been Chain Sawing wood all day. He chucked some over our fence for us. He is very at good helping us. John is not able to use power tools. He has metal plates in his right arm. If he uses any tools he feels the vibrations in his arm for days after.
      Still more wood to stack in the morning.
      Better go tidy myself up before Elaine arrives .... or does not arrive!!!
      Be good. xxx

      I will really try Patricia but I can't promise for others! I know Saba is tired as it's hard work looking after children and others every day. She keeps in touch! I can't believe we've had a Holiday Club week without rain! Hope I haven't jinxed it for tomorrow. I get home around 1pm but have a hairdressing appt. for 3pm! I only go every six weeks and my hair needs to be cut. I will just make myself do it tomorrow! I was going to cancel but changed my mind. Have a nice evening with Elaine - well if she comes! Xxx

      PATRICIA, your post is a bit like a who dunnit!!! You might be back soon. Will she come, will she stay away, will she come early and go soon, or come late and go even later. What an exciting life we all lead.
      I bet John has fun at the metal detectors in the airports. Does he carry a Hospital letter with him?
      You didn't tidy yourself up when you met me, why are you doing it for Elaine - oops hard hat time!!!!

    Evening Ladies

    I have had a great day today-lovely time at the Flower Show. Missed my friend on the bus but we met in Southport. Once I got home & had a cuppa, I posted a parcel for hubby then bought a new phone-well, upgraded my phone & contract. I'm just waiting for O2/Tesco to switch numbers over so if I don't call in tomorrow morning please don't panic, especially as I'm going out for 9am- getting the new tyres fitted then straight on to Southport for odds + ends.

  33. Sheila - Ginger20 August 2015 at 21:51

    Evening everyone, Sorry I wasn't in earlier I'm in agony at the moment. I went to the hairdressers and Julie asked why I was limping...'Oh just a touch of sciatica' I said I laughed at her helping me like an old lady (yes I know...I am an old lady! Lol!) After having my hair done I went across to the retail park to get some shopping (oh and chocolate!! ) while I was there I was finding it painful to walk as the pain had travelled down my thigh....so jumped in a taxi and got home.....took so co-codamol and it is feeling a bit easier now so fingers crossed it doesn't last too long. So sorry for the moan....will have a read through to see what you have been up to whilst eating a nice chunk of fruit and nut then an early night for me.
    See you in the morning lovelies.
    Hugs Sheila xxxx

      Sheila, how can you torment me with Fruit and Nut, although to be honest I prefer Whole Nut Chocolate. In fact I prefer it too much. Once I start to eat it, I cannot stop.
      I hope the co-codamol does the trick. Take it easy xxx

      Good evening Sheila,
      Hope the leg is better soon, Hazel suffers badly. Don't know what she takes, must ask her. I know she has her TENs machine which seems to help.
      Chocolate, I prefer just Dairy Milk however I would rather have a hunk of cheese. Hope you manage to have a good sleep. xxx

    4. Wendy from Scotland20 August 2015 at 23:19

      Sheila try lying on your front with your toes turned in it should relieve the pain or. stand with your knees slightly bent and slowly move your hips side to side. Sciatica is the most common thing I treat .xx

    5. Myra20 August 2015 at 23:21

      Sheila. That is so painful! I do hope you feel better tomorrow. You will need to rest your leg a little I think!

    Cilla Black's Mass was lovely and I was sitting joining in, I really enjoyed it. Rachel always says that I'm funny in that I like Requiem Masses, mind you I'm not looking forward to my own lol.
    I've just watched Jane Seymour's Who Do you Think You Are, and now I'm thoroughly depressed!! Why do I do this to myself, I ask you?
    Cheryl still hasn't been in, but did she say she was going away. or have I had too much Baileys again hic.
    I'm going to wish you all a good night, sweet dreams, and see you all in the morning.
    Lots of love and hugs

One of my cousins has had a tough year and his grandma said he hadn't done as well as he thought and was really upset. Poor little soul, I do feel for him. His grandma is hoping the college will allow him to resist. It's such a worrying time for them isn't it. Xxx
