Beautiful Card from Brenda x

Brenda's Beautiful Card

Welcome to the World
Penelope Faye 


Good Morning Ladies,

Firstly I would like to welcome Penelope Faye to the world, she made her entrance to the world at 9:09am yesterday morning, weighing in at 6lb 14.5 Oz.  Both Mum and baby are doing fine.
Sue you must be such a proud Grandma and Margaret a proud Great-Grandma, she is beautiful ❤.

I received this beautiful card in the post yesterday morning from Brenda, I was absolutely blown away, it is stunning, I love it so much I think I am going to buy the Stamp and Die combination​ before 30th April, after then you have to but them separately and it costs a little more, it is a beautiful die called Floral Phrases.
Detail Floral Phases Bundle

Thank you so much Brenda for such a stunning, inspirational​ card, I love it xxx

I had a lovely visit from Pat yesterday, we didn't craft together but it was good to catch up, it seems like ages since we have sat and chatted. X

I hope you are all well and that the weather hasn't been to crazy where you are, we had both beautiful sunshine and sleet/hail stone showers. We have had the heating back on too! 

Love and hugs to all of you,

Sandra 
xxxxxxx

    Morning Everyone
    We could very easily have thought that we were back in November yesterday. So much rain all day and we resorted to the log burner before 10.00 yesterday morning. We are starting the day with some sunshine but we have had a hard frost during the night. Some of the roses are drooping because of it and the table top outside is a sheet of ice. At least it's stopped raining so I'm hoping I can get all the trousers out on the line.

    BRENDA- What a stunning card. It's really beautiful and I too love the die you have used. I just might have to have a look at that set.

    SUE- Many congratulations to you all you have one very beautiful Granddaughter and I love her name.

    I booked the return ferry and hotel for Sunday night stop over yesterday evening which enforces the fact that we're at the end of our current stay. It has been a productive stay with one or two jobs completed but also others not done. The usual I suppose. At least we might be able to relax a little more in the Summer.

    I have some cutting out to do today as I foolishly decided yesterday that I would get my next card for K&N sorted here and the dies I decided on stay here dohhhhhhhhh and then pictures to take and send off so I'm going to be busy.

    Dobbie reports that all is well in the CAFE and so pop in for a cuppa and a chat. Hugs to you all xxxx

    Morning Ladies

    Congrats to Sue & Margaret, glad Mum & baby are well.

    Brenda-wow, your card is GORGEOUS!!!! You've really shown how lovely that die is on your card.

    Had a lovely, peaceful evening-spent most of it reading . My brother called round early to deliver my birthday present (he's staying the night with Dad) -the present is huge......the box is about 4 foot square & about 4 inches wide and they've wrapped it!! Now I have to look at it for 2 more weeks.

    Hoping for a relatively quiet day at work so I can start to catch up on some management stuff. Tesco shopping tonight so not much spare time.

    Michele

    Morning one & all,

    Welcome to the world Penelope Faye, what a wonderful name you parents chose for you.

    We seem to be in the throes of a mini heat wave during the day and bitter cold temperatures at night here in Somerset. What a paradox our weather is.
    Another brilliant sunshiny start to today, our herbs and plants may be going out to finish hardening off before they get planted in the garden and the wall mat that we will be attaching to the wall this weekend.
    Healing thoughts and gentle hugs to our poorly blog friends.
    Love 7 hugs
    Cheryl xxx

    Hello All, bright sunshine here but very cold (4.4c), we hardly get that cold in the depth of winter, still no rain.

    Brenda super card, I bought this set a while ago, must admit I have not used it much.

    Welcome to the world little Penelope Faye, you are very beautiful, congrats to gran and great gran.

    Started my cc last night almost finished, not sure it's good enough to show might have to do another one.

    Michele don't know how you manage not opening that pressie before your birthday, hope it's something lovely.

    Work today, some how I find I really not keen on doing it these bright sunny days, whereas in the winter I don't mind, still can't pick and choose so I'd better get on, see you later, hugs to all, Lynda hope your smile is great! Lilian

      Hi Lillian, well spotted, the die I used is called 'So in Love' and the backing paper is from the 'Falling in Love Design Pack' those papers are absolutely gorgeous. I have to say that I also love the 'Floral phrases die set ..... another addition to my wish list! xx

    Hi Sandra
    Lovely card from Brenda. She's such a sweetie. I saw this card in the flesh so to speak.
    Congratulations to Tim and Roz on the birth of Penelope Faye.
    Congratulations to Michele and Val winning a Die set on Sues Blog. Well we were supposed to have a visit from a company from Abingdon as we'd like an imprinted concrete drive also might go round to the back patio as well. But I'm afraid they were a no show. They have a good reputation as well and they're a family business.

    Sorry being so late again, no sleep at night but sleep half the day and the rest is spent in a cocoon. Only time I'm out is for the doctors and for the acupuncture this morning. So cold all the time, which the spring could get a hold and stay for a while. Have to stay indoors tomorrow for a phone call from doctors reg. something else that showed up from my resent blood test. Sooo fun :) Hope you all had a good day. Love Maria xxx
