Michele's 5th Centre Stepper

Good Morning Ladies,

Today's card is the 5th version of Michele's Centre Stepper cards.
Michele made this card for a Colleagues wedding,  it is beautiful, the silver mirror card heart and side panel die cuts really give that touch of luxury to the whole card. the other thing that makes a difference to the overall look of this card that you don't notice at first is that Michele has used a 'Deckle Edge die to cut the pink card, this makes a much softer look so the two colours blend together seamlessly.
I really want to go make a centre stepper card now, in fact I think that will be on my desk today, thank you so much Michele for allowing me to share your amazing cards.

Now, I said that I would make a  Stepper card today but I have to wait until the telephone (BT) man has been, as we still have no home phone, I got the girls to go up the attic and get the old plug in phone out, hoping that would work but we got nothing, not a sound, the only thing that is worrying me is the man on the 'Internet chat' said that if the issue is caused by trees or damp or wear and tear, we have to pay £85 for the call out plus the cost of the repair!!! I literally can't understand how it could possibly be anything we have caused, it was fine on Sunday evening when Paul call his Dad but I went to answer the phone on Monday morning and I could only hear a ringing sound in the distance, we have had several power cuts so that my be the cause of the fault, I guess we will have to just wait and see, hopefully if I chat and make the engineer a cup of tea he might be generous??!!

Is there any sign of the sun returning any day soon?? Yesterday seemed to be a really dark and overcast day, I need the sun to come out so that I can get some laundry done, I just hate having it hanging around the house wet, we still don't have any heating  so no radiators to put the airer in front of and the Aga isn't on either, which is a shame as that used to dry washing super fast.  I can't remember the last time that we went three days without doing a load of washing, you can guarantee that it was on most days, especially with Paul's laundry load colour sorting, every colour had it's own wash load, so if you were painting for a yellow t shirt, you had to be patient!!! I am not complaining though, he's such a support and stands no chance of having a colour run incident.  I did smile to myself a few weeks back as I had told the girls to go and pick themselves out a new set of towels, the point was that they were to have their own colours so that the would know who's was who's, I think Sophie chose a bright orange set and a purple set for Lewis, Lucy went for a bright blue.  As they put them in the shopping bags I thought that they would be waiting a while for those colours to go through the laundry process, they do look colourful on the line though, AND it has stopped them picking a clean bath sheet out of the airing cupboard every night in case they didn't pick there own one up from the night before. At one point we were washing 15 to 20 towels on a weekend, now its just their new ones and 1 other, so was definitely worth it.

Well I will hopefully get some crafting done today, BT man permitting, I hope that you have a great day too.

Love and hugs to all,

Sandra
