Janet's beautiful Silhouette Card
Maria's Pretty Embossed Card
Sue's Fab Flags Card
Good Morning Ladies,
How are you all coping in the heat? Sue and I managed ok yesterday, you will be pleased to know that I was fully clothed, as was Sue. We chatted for most of the time but did manage to squeeze a little bit of crafting in too.
She had a play with the Envelope Punch Board and was very impressed, which pleases me greatly as I know it's not just me being biased.
She then very kindly helped me with the next batch of my swap cards, so I'm a few more nearer being finished. Thanks Sue XXX
Now onto today's cards....
First up we have Janet's beautiful Silhouette CA, such a pretty image framed beautifully with delicate die cuts, trimming around the cameo style topper with gems really lifts it. Thank you so much Janet for sharing your card XXX
Maria's Pretty card was created by Maria meticulously colouring the embossed image, the image is absolutely beautiful, enhanced by Maria's brilliant colouring, the pearl embellished flowers are so pretty too. Thank you so much for allowing me to share your card Maria XXX
Last up we have Sue's card that she made for her 'Pops', I love the multicoloured flags Sue, the stars really give that extra touch of luxury, I'm sure Pop loved his card. Thanks for allowing me to share it XXX
Pat I hope you and Pete have a lovely holiday, you both deserve a lovely break XXX
Sue I hope you and Chris have a lovely Anniversary, enjoy your day xxx
Maria I hope your new drugs are helping so that you can get your pain under control for your holiday xxx
Lynda, Lynda, Lynda, I think you need to ask Terry to wrap you up in bubble wrap,
You must be in agony my lovely, I'm sorry to hear that your gum has got infected too, hopefully they should kicking In a couple of days and you should start feeling better, please try and stay upright, it's me that kisses the carpet not you, sending you buckets of love and huge,gentle hugs xxx
Well I'm off back into my craft room to finish those cards, I hope you have a lovely day whatever you are up to xxx
Love and Hugs
Sandra

Morning Everyone
ReplyDeleteI hope you all managed to have a reasonable sleep last night and feeling refreshed to start today.
LYNDA- what can I say - PLEASE TRY AND STAY UPRIGHT as you know it makes sense hehe seriously though PLEASE take care of yourself and I'm sure the biotics will soon start to work. Tell Terry we have a large roll of bubble wrap if needed. lol.
MARIA- I love Flower Meadow with the cute bird's nest. You must have taken ages colouring those beautiful flowers.
SUE- What a beautiful array of flags and the colours are so uplifting. I just know 'Pops' loved it.
My card was made from Crafters Companion Edgeable dies (sorry I cannot remember the name of the die and it's back in the UK) and the Lady is from a CD and again memory loss but I think it's from a CD called 'Sillaparge'(oh that spelling looks totally wrong but again the CD is in the UK).
I managed to get to my crafting yesterday morning and actually managed to make a card before the heat got to me. Today I have to put a couple of inserts into cards which need posting this week.
I see the CAFE doors and windows are open and can I spy a FAN in the corner for those Dear Friends who need cool air- Full marks to Marigny Dobbie for thinking of that.
HUGS are on their way to you all. xxxx

Hi Sandra and all,
ReplyDeleteNot much sleep again. I had cramp for a few hours during the night and got up today with one of those dull headaches. It's crib today and really just feel like going back to bed.
Janet, your card is so pretty. I love the delicate die you've used and the lovely image.x
Maria. What a lovely image and beautifully coloured. Hope you're feeling better today.
Sue, what a great man card. So bright and cheerful. I bet pops will love it.
Oh Lynda, you've been in the wars again. Hope you're not too badly bruised. Definitely a case for the bubble wrap. Hope the anti biotics work quickly for you.
The kettle's on for another cup of coffee. I haven't even thought what to do for my cc this week. That was going to be this mornings job but don't really think I'm in the mood.
Pat enjoy your well deserved holiday.
Enjoy your day everyone.

Morning all.
ReplyDeleteJanet- such a pretty card, so delicate and love the cameo lady.
Sue- I bet Pop loved his card. Fantastic colours.
You right Karen, hihi I can see many things wrong and not sure if I like working with water colour pencils.
Hope you got the "Hint" Lol
Very sticky day again, will be the hottest and it is the longest one so will do some work this morning before too hot.
Lynda- take it easy today and everyday ! What shall we do with you young lady ?
Pat and Pete- have a nice break away.

Thanks Maria hope my face ( which looks like I've been punched in the face) hoping it's better by my birthday as spending it with my family.
DeleteHope your feeling better too my friend.
MARIA your card is Gorgeous don't be so critical of yourself look at it again &say YES it's beautifully coloured.i know we all do it I know I do.
Take care Hug's xx
Hi Maria.
DeleteI see on sues blog uve changed from tramadol to co codamol. I can honestly say from experience that they're is no difference between the two apart from they work in different ways. I was on cc for years changed to tram but then I started losing weight that was what I thought was the pills but no it was cancer. I'm now back on co codamol after 7 months of being off them. I'm raging I'm back to square one again. Best used with diazepam that takes the pain away for me lol x
Hi Tracy, I have been on both pills for years but nothing really helps and I have never lost any weight by taking the Tramadols, that would have been bliss Lol Only one thing I wish they would legalise here so you could get it through the doctors. Hope your back is getting better xx
DeleteHi Sandra & all in cafe,
ReplyDeleteSandra pleased to hear you & Sue had a catch, hope you get your cards finished soon.xxx
Janet what a lovely delicate card, love the image. Hope you manage some crafting today.xxx
Maria just remember that the camera never lies & this is a beautiful card, lovely shading & colours. Hope meds are working now.xxx
Sue as you can imagine Pop loved his card. Hope you & Chris have a lovely 31st Anniversary, where has the time gone!!!love you.xxx
Lynda I have a feeling you will be feeling very sore this morning, please take it easy & hope antibiotics are kicking in, healing hugs on way.xxx
Another very warm day although there does seem to be a little breeze at least more than yesterday.
Pat & Pete enjoy your few days away.xxx

Hello Sandra and all,
ReplyDeleteThree equally beautiful cards today.
JANET Your Cameo card is a really classy. Yes I agree the image is from that CD. I'm not sure of the spelling either, I gave mine away to a dear friend a few years ago. (I'm useless with CD's) xx
MARIA, What a brilliant idea to colour an embossed image, you have certainly made a beautiful card. You really should be proud of your efforts,. I know we are our own worst enemy when judging our own work, but credit where credit is due - you have made a beautiful card. xx
SUE Your card for POP is fantastic, you would never be able to purchase a card like this. Unless you commissioned one, but that takes away the personal pleasure. I'm sure he was thrilled to bits. xx
Sandra great you and Sue got together yesterday and she was able to lend a hand. I'm still trying to get my head around you making so many cards for your StampinUp group. I'm also in awe of VAL and MICHELE both seem to be able to start their own production line - I struggle to complete one a day AND that's on a good day!!!!
LYNDA, hope you are feeling more comfortable today - keep taking the tablets!!
Seriously I hope you start to feel better soon LOL xx
Love to everyone, especially those feeling under the weather or just in need of that extra little bit of TLC. Hugs Brenda xxx
Hello All, very warm again, but we are forecast torrential rain later tonight, so hopefully will clear the air.
ReplyDeleteHaving a lazy day today after not much sleep, although we had the fan on all night.
Lovely cards ladies, they are great.
Watching the tennis at the moment, shame about Andy, seems to be very hot at Queens, don't know how they do it.
Lynda do hope you are not feeling too bad this morning, and that tha antibiotics are beginning to have an effect.
Have a great day all, hugs Lilian
Thanks Lillian yes feeling battered & bruised I'm also having a lazy day
