Good Morning Ladies,
As you are reading this I shall be waking up in London for the 2nd Day of our Anniversary treat, we haven't planned too much today, we thought we would wait to see what the weather was like. We are hoping to do a River Cruise and go and have as nice afternoon tea somewhere.
Today's gorgeous card is my birthday card from Our Maria, it has such a beautifully coloured background, the camera hasn't done it Justice, the colours really pop, Maria has used the Swiss Background Die from Creative Expressions for The Decorative element of the card, this die is on both mine and Sue's 'want' list !
The card is finished with some pretty flowers and CE Trailing Ivy die cuts, its such a pretty card Maria, I love it, thank you so very much, I am trying to think of a way to display all of my cards, so I can get inspiration every time I enter my craft room.
That's all from me today ladies, can I ask you all a little favour.......?
I will be doing a feature on paper cutters/trimmers, can you make a note of your experience with different ones, I thought I could be our first 'Buyers Guide' item.
Love and hugs
Sandra

Morning Ladies
ReplyDeleteGorgeous card Sandra, Maria -that's a really beautiful card.
Dentist was running 30 minutes late, I had a horrendous tension headache then another patient walked in who was wearing very strong, sickly perfume so I started to feel nauseous. Luckily I was called I before anything could happen-temporary filling in place and I have to be careful! I go back on the 31st October for thrilling & a check up.
We go away early October (to Washington, D.C.) for 6 days, never been before & heard good things about there. We have 2 weeks off work so we can relax after we get back although I might end up going into work as that's the time the refurbishment starts.
Michele
Ha-I go back to the Dentist for a "filling " -certain not a Thrilling!!!!
DeleteMichele
Lol Michele, your visit to the dentist for a "thrilling" made me chuckle ;-) I expect you're looking forward to your holiday, and I hope you manage to have your full 2 weeks off. Hugs xxx
DeleteEnjoy Washington I expect it'll be full of the build up to the election which WILL be thrilling and not drilling! Sorry couldn't resist!
DeleteHi Michele
DeleteWhat sort of dentist do you have that makes it a thrilling visit. Predictive text is a bummer isn't it. Enjoy your time in Washington and I do hope you manage your full two weeks off. You deserve it.
Hi Michele, wish I had a ' thrilling' dentist!!!!
DeleteLOL
Hi Everyone,
ReplyDeleteSandra hope your London stay is going well, probably very hot.
Maria lovely card love the Swiss background die.
Sorry to be so brief, hugs to all Lilian
Good morning Sandra and all in here today.
ReplyDeleteooops, funny feeling to see the card I sent you.:)
One thing I do in January is to write a list of all the birthday for the year, it has grown a lot since joining your blog :-) so when I went for a workshop once I had you in my mind, as always, and made this card for you. We used alcohol inks and it was great fun but uj you should have seen my fingers hihi Glad you like it.
Have a fabulous day whatever you and Paul do. It's very misty here this morning but we going to have up to 28c today so hope the sun comes out later.
I sat here to 4.30 before going up but woke at 6.45 and just had to get up. Will play a bit with some cards that need finishing off and than SIL coming up by train for picking up a new car. After their accident their car was a write off so had to get a new one quickly because the insurance company didn't let them have the hire car for very long.
I wish you all a nice day, special hugs to you who not feeling the best and wish you better.
Love and hugs to you all, Maria xxxx
Your card is fabulous I was wondering if it was Pixie Pwders or ink It is a fab effect What dies are the flowers
DeleteWhat with aches and pains and this heat I' like you and can't sleep Annoying and frustrating isn't it Take care xxx
Fabulous card Maria. I also wondered if it was alcohol ink as I didn't think you could get that effect with pixie powders. But hey what do I know. Lynda will know though after seeing her lovely creations using them. Looking forward to seeing you on Sat.
DeleteHi MARIA wow gorgeous card you sent SANDRA I love it.I also on first look thought you had a go with Pixie powders they are actually not as messy as inks. Sorry your struggling with sleeping it was so hot last night. Take care Hug's xx
DeleteHi Maria, Love your card. When I looked first looked at it I was so taken with the background it's FAB..... so beautiful. I must try this just need to get the correct inks. xxx
DeleteMorning Everyone
ReplyDeleteWe too have a very foggy morning here but very humid.
SANDRA- have a lovely day whatever you decide to do.
MARIA- what a gorgeous card you sent to Sandra. I've never tried any inks but have to say the end product if just beautiful. I can also imagine what I'd look like if I did try them one of those modern art splashy pics comes to mind. lol.
MICHELE - thank you for making me smile this morning. I just couldn't imagine you having a 'thrilling' time at the Dentist.
I managed to make a Seasonal bauble yesterday. So I was quite pleased with myself.
My task for today is to search through my old pics of cards I've made as I'm not going to get a CC done this week. I know it's cheating really but I'll not get a new one done and then take a photo of my Baubles. (now now don't laugh too much hehehe).
Café is looking good and ready to go for the day. Hugs to everyone especially Maria today. xxxx
Hi Janet
DeleteWould love to see your baubles. Just don't try to do to much. Light duties only remember.

Hello Sandra and everyone,
ReplyDeleteI have had such a busy day, it's or younger daughters birthday today, so this morning I made a birthday cake. It was a two cakes a 6" with a 4" on top. Fresh cream in each layer and the outside was covered in chocolate ganache she loved it. Did shopping on the way to pick up children from school. Once we got them home, made dinner, by the time we had cleared the kitchen Mum was home, so we had a birthday celebration. It was lovely. By the time we arrived back home it was almost 8pm - where does the time go?
Sandra and Paul I hope you have had a lovely day in London, (it has been VERY hot) did you get your river trip? Sandra make sure you rest tomorrow and you Paul - you need to recharge my recharge your batteries for AP !!!
Maria I did comment on you card under you comment. I really think it's lovely those colours just make it POP Love it.
Love to all, Brenda xxx
