We were stopped by the POLICE !!! Oh and another Challenge Card !!


Good Morning Ladies,


Another Challenge card to inspire you this morning, a super quick card too, I die cut a base card using the outer die of the 'Lucy' tag die set and then cut another layer with the same die, I used Stampin'Up​! 'So Saffron' card for the colour layers on this card, it is such a pretty, soft yellow.  I cut the decorative layer of the Lucy die with white card and the final decorative layer in ,'So saffron' , I used the pretty central section of the
'Peony Diamond' Finishing Touches die (From this Latest launch) to finish my card.
I stamped the sentiment in 'So saffron' ink too!
I think it's a pretty little thank you card, what do you think?

I really like the little cards you can make with the die itself, perfect for little notelets or thank you cards.

Paul dragged me out today, he only lets me be a 'hermit' for a few days before he insists on us going out somewhere, so we went to the garden centre to get some Seed Potatoes, we also managed to get two pots of Sweet Potato 'Slips' too, Cucumber and Tomato plants finished our vegetable shopping, every thing will be grown from seed apparently!  Watch this space.!!
On the way home we got pulled over by the Police, oh my goodness, my anxiety went through the roof! I was in a fair state of panic, the worst part was that we were 'pulled over' in a small village, you could see all the residents coming out onto the street to have a nosey.  The Policeman was VERY serious when he came to my window, apparently the reason for the stop was that we had a brake light bulb out!!!
We were thoroughly 'checked out' and were allowed to go on our way with a stern warning! I had to have a lie down when we got home, as my heart palpitations had left me exhausted, oh what a Drama, there are some benefits not being a hermit after all. The curtains of the street almost caused a breeze with their twitching as we drove off! Hahaha

I hope you all have a good day, less dramatic that mine was yesterday!

Love and hugs

Sandra

    Morning Ladies

    Beautiful card Sandra, it's so pretty and a lovely colour.

    My goodness-I think I'd have had palpitations if the police stopped me and started walking towards my car. I hope you're feeling better this morning.

    I started to read last night (after doing the Tesco shopping & putting it all away) and I nodded off-haven't been sleeping very well recently. Of course-as soon as I got to bed I was wide awake!!

    Today looks like it's going to be a busy one at work so at least it will go quickly. I'm calling at my Dads tonight with Fish & Chips plus collecting his shopping list which I'll sort out tomorrow morning.

    Morning Everyone
    SANDRA - a beautiful card you have created. It is really a 'work of art' and that colour is amazing. It is also amazing as to how many shaped cards we could achieve if we looked at our dies. I shall be looking at my dies with this in mind.

    I too would be having a 'dickie fit' if we were stopped by our 'boys in blue'. I hope you're feeling OK this morning. By the way have you made an appointment with your GP?

    I finished my CC yesterday and so today I have to take a picture and get it sent off.

    My large parcel arrived yesterday morning in the middle of having my hair cut. It has nothing to do with craft BOOOOOOOOOOO so no photograph but e fingers crossed it will give me many hours of freedom. I have given in after quite a while of thinking and purchased a 'bright shiney red three wheel walker and so hopefully I will be able to take myself out for a little walk but most of all it will help me walk more upright and take some pressure of my spine. It will be having it's test run tomorrow morning round Meadowhall.

    The sun is shining and it's dry. The CAFE door is open so everything is ready for you all. The coffee/tea pots are full and I've replenished the biscuit tin.
    HUGE HUGS are on their way to you all with a few extra for those Dear Friends in need. xxxx

      Hi Janet. Your parcel might not be craft related but oh so useful and I'm sure you'll get so much use out of your wheel walker. Great colour as well.
      Enjoy your day. Xxx

      Hi Janet,
      I think your walker will make you feel more comfortable when you go out and give you confidence to go that little bit further.
      I am awaiting a Occupational Therapist appointment to maybe have a walker at home as I struggle with crutches as they push me too 'upright' and make the pain in my lower back a lot worse.
      I can't wait to hear your review!!!
      Sending hugs
      Sandra

    Hi Sandra and all.
    Beautiful card Sandra. I love the dies you've used and the pretty colour tone. I'm not too happy with how my cc turned out but thought of anotherIidea during the night so I'm hoping to have time to make it. Sandra you may get two off me this week wow.
    I'd have been shaking as well if I was stopped by the Police. They carry guns over here so I always sidle past them and hope I'm not noticed. No wonder you had palpations. Hope you've calmed down now.

    Lynda. Congratulation's on getting your Gemini. Enjoy playing today.

    Off to Craft Club in an hour. These Fridays come around so quickly. Taking all my stencils today to have a play.

    Will pop in later. Hugs to everyone.
    Love Valxxx

    Good morning SANDRA & everyone
    Wow Sandra I love your card today ithe couloirs are so pretty. Gosh how frightening having the police pulling you over. No wonder your heart was pounding away. Please go to the doctors about your palpitations. I had that good few years ago with irregular heart beats resulting into haveing an ablation
    Operation to regulate iit. Hope you feel better today my lovely Big Hug's xx
    I did say last night I now own a GEMINI MACHINE got it from the Range yesterday. I saved enough money in my Pal Pal quicker than expected.
    So will be playing today after Housework & have some ironing but might leave that for tomorrow. Very windy again & dark will have to take Bambie for a walk sooner rather tan than later before it rains.
    So will pop back later
    Love Lynda xx

      Thank you Sandra Maria Janet & Pat. I'm really pleased with the Gemini it. I can't believe how good it cuts SW weaving Die on my Ebosser it took at least 8 passes before it cut then wasn't very good.
      I tried it on Gem & cut in just one pass BRILLIANT one happy bunny.& yes the plates are a lot lighter than Ebosser could hardly lift them with my painful hands.

    Hi Sandra
    Lovely card today. Love the Saffron colour. But doesn't the Peony Diamond go well with the Lucy Die.
    Great drama yesterday then. We're off to Yarnton for lunch today taking Doreen with us, so hope the police have done a runner.
    Well, yesterday Pete had the all clear to start the trials. What we didn't know was that if he didn't start next Tuesday he couldn't start at all. So Monday is an 8hrs stay up at the Churchill for tests and a meet up with the team. Not to sure what other tests he can have that you might need 8 hrs for, and on Tuesday the trial starts proper. That will probably be at least 4 hrs. So we're off to London the week after, so he goes up on the Momday instead of Tuesday and we'll catch a later train than our friends. good job I'm up the Churchill as well this Monday we can kill two birds with one stone so to speak.

    Hello Sandra and everyone,

    What a lovely card Sandra, I love the So Saffron colour it really is a lift me up/happy colour. You are not going to forget yesterday's trip out in a hurry are you. What a scary experience, I know they are only doing their job, but there are so many drivers on the road who's vehicle and driving should be questioned, yet they get away with it. We were once pulled over, right outside our house 11.00pm and blue lights flashing. We were driving along the main road, our road was the next right turn, a police vehicle was in front of us, kerb crawling, John didn't overtake but as we almost reached our road indicated and pulled into the centre of the road, at this point we were level with them. As we turned they followed with blue lights and siren. We were now outside our house (2nd house in off the main road) not a very nice experience, like you I felt traumatised. All the officer said was why didn't you overtake me earlier? (No offence had been committed). As John said to him had I overtaken you, you would have had me for speeding. I'm pleased to say at that point they left. I can honestly say I was shaking. You have my sympathy, hopefully you are not scared from this experience.

    Take care, love and hugs, Brenda xxx

    Good evening ladies, late to comment today so apologies. I have been busy making my next challenge card for the Design Team.
    I was expecting a delivery for UPS today with one of my 3 parcels from Stampin Up. Nothing arrived so phoned UPS to be told it will not arrive until Monday!!!!!!!!!! Not happy as they delivered the same parcel to Amazon in error.
    I saw the Doctor yesterday and she prescribed stronger pain killers but is going to refer me to a Rheumatoid Consultant. Watch this space as it could be weeks before I hear anything.
    I have emailed Sandra the card I made for my 1st week as a DT and thanks for commenting on my Blog. It means a lot.
    Off to 'chill' with a glass of wine. Have a great weekend.

    Hello All,
    Sandra,lovely card, looks blue and mustard on my iPad, perhaps it's on the blink.
    Very scary being pulled over, happened to us once, they made O/H get out and get in the back of their car, all because we had a back light out, it was dark, nearly gave me a heart attack.

    Pat so glad things going the right way for Pete, good luck for next week.

    Well I have wasted most of this after noon looking for two dies, I have the tonic folders, where they should be, so cross with myself, I suppose you could say must be age, going to do my card for Sandra then I'll have another search.
    Have a good evening everyone, hugs Lilian.
