Pat's Beautiful 21st Birthday Card

Good Morning Ladies,

Today Pat has allowed me to share this beautiful Groovi card that she has designed for her Granddaughter Sophie's 21st Birthday.
It also works for this weeks challenge Flowers/Dry Embossing/Punch (corners)
I love the design you have created Pat, it works so well, those daisies in the corners really draw your eye, so that you see the whole image and not just the centre part.
I can only hope that one day I can create something as beautiful as this, although you have used lots of techniques on this design even the dreading 'snipping out'.
Thank you so much for allowing me to share this inspirational card with the ladies, I know that Sophie will absolutely love your card, I wonder if she knows how many hours went into making it? xxx

Pat is coming over today so we can get our 'Groovi' on, this works out so well for me as I get to craft with friends two days this week, Pat today and Sue tomorrow. Twice the fun and twice the cakes!!😜😜

I did continue with me Re-Organising yesterday, this time I was focussing on my stamps and dies, I made the mistake of using a draw to put dies away at the end of a crafting session (if I didn't have time to put them back in the original packet)  Well it just turned out to be an excuse for laziness and I ended up chucking all the dies in there! I haven't managed to find the perfect solution for die storage, I did have those Black and White spotty folders but the pockets all split, they also needed re-inforcing with a bit of cardboard to hold the dies properly, so that was a waste of money, we have to put these things down to experience.
I am seen a lot of YouTube crafters that store a lot of their dies and stamps in little clear plastic wallets that look the size of a CD case, the problem with that for me is that a lot of my stamps wouldn't fit in those.
I did consider one of these too...…

This company has different size ones, starting at around £18, the only thing is that they take up a lot of desk space. But I do think that they would work as you just pull the slide out and lay the die on a magnetic sheet, so no searching for packaging etc.
Have any of you found the perfect solution???

Val, I was like you when we moved, if I hadn't used it in a year or more I recycled it, I do still have two A3 size plastic boxes full of all the Hunkydory/Kanban kits though, they had some pretty nice backgrounds etc but as you gain confidence with your crafting you tend to step away from the ready made toppers etc, as they seem to aim to look like 'shop bought' cards and we want ours to stand out as better than shop bought!  The other thing that I no longer like is the shiny looking card they all use.
Having said that I just couldn't get rid of them, mainly because of how much they cost to buy I think.
It feels quite 'cleansing' going through everything though, so I think that you would enjoy it, don't go overdoing things though my lovely.
I'm so pleased you have managed to fit in your trip home at last, I bet you can't wait to have Barrie to yourself for a couple of days, it will do him good too. I hope you have a safe and smooth journey, could you please bring a little sunshine with you too xxxx

I hope that you all have a lovely day,

Love and hugs to all,

Sandra
