Another Challenge Card


Good morning Ladies,

I hope those of you feeling under the weather have started to feel a little better, there seems to have been so many nasty, long lasting bugs this winter, affecting so many different people, it's quite concerning. 

Sue, Pat and I had a lovely day yesterday, we were all busy crafting, Sue was busy making a Sympathy card, Pat was putting together some lovely birthday cards, I was mostly playing with some of my new dies, we chatted lots (as always) and it was 4pm before we new it!

Today's card has been made using this weeks Sketch, to give you a bit more inspiration , hopefully!  It was made using A Sue Wilson  'Striplet' die, and some light green glittered card, although I don't think the camera picked up the green very well.
I hope you like the card.

Have a lovely day ladies,

Love and hugs
Sandra

    Morning Ladies

    Really lovely card Sandra, very pretty. This has helped my imagination as I was struggling with this weeks sketch. I think it's me that's the problem (not the sketch) and maybe last night wasn't a great night to start making a card.
    Work yesterday was truly horrendous-we haven't had such a busy day in a very long time.
    I didn't want to watch TV last night, couldn't settle to read my book so I thought crafting was the answer! I ended up tidying some more stash in my craft room-I like to move & organise things when I'm stressed.
    Fingers crossed for a calmer day today.

      Hi Michele. Im soffy to hear that work was so busy yesterday. I hope your stress relieving organising helped (I'm the same when stressed, wonder if it is a way of taking back some control and order to our lives when things aren't going well?) last night and you managed to get a good night's sleep. May work today be much easier for you x

    Morning Everyone
    SANDRA- Another beautiful CC with lots of inspiration for us to use. I love the colour green and your pink and white dainty flowers are just the right colour to match.

    MICHELE- Hope you day at work today goes much better for you. I would love to see a picture of your new craft room when you feel you can treat us to one.

    We have a very damp and foggy start to the day here. Once again yesterday was the same and again we didn't seem to get any daylight. Fingers crossed that it may change through the day.

    I managed to get my CC finished or thought I had until I've seen Sandra's new one this morning lol. I also started decorating a notebook cover.

    LYNDA- How's those ankles of yours? Did you manage to get to your class yesterday or is it today?

    I'm off now to have my breakfast and we have a little shopping and a birthday card to post this morning.
    I'll pop in later to see what you're all up to.

    HUGs to all of your with extra for Dear Friends not feeling too good and under stress. xxxx

      Hi Janet. I hope the day becomes brighter for you. Grey dark days are the worst kind aren't they! I'm looking forward to seeing your CC. I would love to have a go at altering a notebook but don't really know where to start. Please can we see your notebook when it's finished as I know it will inspire me 😊 x

    Good morning All, dry here today.

    Oh! Sandra , you have "stolen my thunder" I thought to use that striplet die this week, as it's the only one I have so I'll have to put my thinking cap on, hope it helps!!!

    Michele hope you have an easier day today.

    Sorry Sandra forgot to say, it's a lovely card.

    Well must get out of bed, have a lovely day all, Hugs Lilian

      Hi Lilian
      It doesn't matter if you do a striplet card as well. It's the thought that counts. Hark at New who very rarely makes one.

    Hi Sandra and all in the Café today. Thank you for another inspiring Cc for us. I love the EF, the delicate striplet and the pretty pinks and greens, not that the green is showing too well on my screen, but I can imagine what it looks like 😊 I hope you and Paul had some luck shopping after our meet up x
    Lynda, I'm glad the swelling wasnt so bad and that you managed to get to your excersise class x
    Wishing you all a good day,I hope it is brighter where you are, it is very dull and grey here at the moment 😔
    Sending love and hugs to you all with extras for Lynda and all in need. Take care xx

    Morning Sandra and all in the cafe' today.
    Gorgeous card Sandra, lovely green glitter card and striplet die. Will have a play this afternoon after doctors and some house work. At least all the washing done and only four shirts to iron. Glad you three graces had a nice day together. Pat- hope Pete's eye be alright.
    A very wet and damp day here, if you going out do wrap up so we not have anymore with chest infections.
    Lynda- hope your foot is better and Terry is looking after you.
    Sonia and Anne, hope you are alright. Missing you.
    Some of the radiators have not been working properly so had a man in to fix that, going to get colder soon so might need them. Hospital for shoulder in the afternoon, x-ray and injection. The whole hospital is being rebuilt so had to walk a lot to get to right department and back again to get out. Absolute mayhem everywhere.
    Have anyone bought any of SW new dies yet ? :-) I have some favourites but haven't played with the last ones yet so must do that first and get them stored properly but still not happy with my folders, they are so heavy.
    Hope to see you tonight for a coffee, have a nice day everyone. Love and many hugs, Maria Xxxx

    Morning ladies,

    A pinch and a punch, First day of the month....No return!

    Calm and peace has now entered my home. No more costumes to finish off and not on duty tonight for rehearsals. Prompting not needed after dress and technical rehearsal. Dancing and chorus only tonight so night off to cook tea for a surprise guest coming along with Fiona, Joseph and Jacob.
    Sewing machines still out though. I am making some more bags like the one I made for Alexia at Christmas. Slight adjustment in that I am including a small pocket on the inside, same fabric as the outside, for multi purpose usage although I will be selling them as knitting/sewing/craft bags at this years Church Fete. Six on the go and looking good so far.

    Have not read all comments yet but the cards are absolutely fabulous my darlings. Oh no they aren't...Oh yes they are! All the guilty buys look marvellous, I am sure you will all have such a pleasure discovering what you can do with them.

    I have succumbed myself and bought some more dies. Was not going to bother with the shadow box dies (thought they would be too fiddly for my arthritic fingers), but did buy the baby one..... it was too cute to leave on the shelf. Aaaah!

    Cup of tea calling me and I have to drop off Tiegan's tie, she left it here yesterday after her sick day and it had dropped behind the settee cushions. They get marked down for not wearing full uniform at all times in the school.
    Hugs to all our poorly ladies.

    Love 7 hugs
    Cheryl xxx

      Hi Cheryl
      I bet your relieved all the costumes are tickets boo and your prompting has finished. Sounds like a relaxing day for you today, you deserve it. Then it's upwards and onwards making bags to go with your stash for the church fete. Now, I'm being nosy as I wonder who your surprise guest is. Could it be a certain little lady?.

    Hi Sandra
    Love today's card, especially the pale green glitter card. I remember that was a freebie from Newbury craft show, as we had a goodie bag when we went in. Well I'm assuming it's the same anyway. Had a lovely day crafting yesterday but Sandra had to go early as Paul picked her up to go shopping for the girls. As usual plenty of chatting, laughing but at least we managed to get something done. Sandra, those little flowers you had stamped out in pale green would have looked nice on the striplet would you think. Just a bit different from the ones that come with the striplet.

      Hi Lynda
      I'm glad your feeling better doing your exercises. Hope your ankle is holding up. Thanks for Petes good wishes. I'll be glad when he's had all his scans on the 13th and get the results on the 28th. Feels like we're in limbo at the moment.

    Hello Sandra and everyone in the Café,

    Thank you for yet more inspiration Sandra with this beautiful card, I love your colour choice, green and pink, part of natures palate - just beautiful.
    Great you three girls managed to meet up yesterday, it sounds as if you were very productive. It's also great when you can bounce ideas off each other.

    Lynda sounds as if you are doing well in your exercise classes, but please remember to rest your ankle as often as you can . xx

    Cheryl, I wonder who your mystery guest will be, really pleased you have not got any more costumes to sort out, and you can enjoy life at your own pace. Take care. xx

    Michele, hope your day is calmer today, and you are able to go home with energy to spare, not feeling totally exhausted. xx

    Have a good day everyone, Love Brenda xxx
