Mixed Craft Saturday Featuring Michele's Magazine Review

Good Morning Ladies,

I hope that you are all well and enjoying the weekend, such a shame that the weather has changed for the worst, it was so chilly last night we had the fire in the lounge lit. Paul's parents are used to the slightly warmer climate of Devon, so really felt the cold.  You don't often see Paul's dad out of shorts but he was yesterday, we can't put the heating on either which made it seem even colder.

Anyway we start today with the fantastic Box above that Danielle has designed, I love the card she has used to make it, luckily for us Danielle has made a tutorial, I will leave the link below...….

Danielle's Box Tutorial

Janet

Our Janet made some amazing cards while she was in Marigny, I imagine that being in that relaxed environment really helps your creativity, well just look at the cards that Janet made, that proves my point. 

Janet made these lovely cards using the same 'La Blanche' Decoupage kit that she used to make her challenge card last week.  I love how the vintage theme of the kit Janet,  you could add lace and pearls or leave them just as they are they still look amazing.

Thank you so much Janet for allowing me to share your cards with our friends. XXX

 Michele's Crafty Buys

Michele received a £5 voucher from Hobbycraft for her Birthday (you just need to sign up to their loyalty card/Blog). Both items were half price, so with the £5 voucher Michele only paid....£1.25, now that's what you call savvy shopping!

Thanks for sharing Michele xxx

 Karen

Karen saw this die being demonstrated on Hochanda by Pete Hughes and loved it, so she looked online and ordered herself one, I think I might need to buy one too Karen, there are some exquisite lace designs there. Thank you so much for sharing and inspiring me to spend more money, I hope you don't mind if I tell Paul it was your fault!!! 😜😜 XXX

That's all for today Ladies, we have a busy family day ahead, Paul's brother is coming over with his family for the day to spend time with us and Paul's parents.  Paul is looking forward to it, he doesn't often spend time with his family so I want him to enjoy every moment. 

Have a lovely day however you are spending it my lovelies,

Love and hugs to all,

Sandra
