Mixed Up Saturday Featuring Michele's Magazine Review


Sue

Karen


Good Saturday Morning Ladies,

I hope you are all having a lovely weekend, I hope that you are a blessed with a little sunshine today, make the most of though as we are back to the 'Normal' British summer weather next week, (rain)!! 

Sue has shared the Gorgeous Pop Up Box  that she was making for a Special Birthday last week, the die was a magazine freebie I believe, but the design is Sue's. 
I love it Sue, you have added a lovely display of flowers into your Box, beautifully shaped and arranged, those little Butterflies really add a special touch to your Design Sue.  Thank you so much for sharing it withus today xxx

How bloomin Adorable is 'Blake ' The Orangutan?? I fell in love with him the moment Karen shared him with me, you can see straightaway what he is, you have managed to capture that little bit of mischief in his expression too.  Kerry Lord's Designs are amazing  Karen thank you so much for sharing Blake with us XXX

Michele's Magazine Review 


Hi Ladies,



Making Cards & Papercraft Magazine has some lovely papers this month-Llamas & cocktails.





The photo above  shows some ideas using the llama themed papers. Very trendy!


This picture show the cocktail themed cards. These would be perfect to make party invitations.



Interesting article on Pioneering Women in Craft.



Happy Crafting 
Michele 

Thanks Michele, another lovely insight  into 'Making cards' Magazine, there are some great ideas and inspiration. Xxx

Michele treated herself to this lovely Ella's USB, I just know that all of the images on this USB will be amazing, as all things that they make are incredibly beautiful to say the least. I look forward to seeing what you make Michele, thanks again for the Magazine Review and for sharing your shopping with us xxx





That's all for today ladies, I hope you got a little bit of inspiration from today's features.

Enjoy the rest of your weekend, 

Love and hugs to all of you,

Sandra

    SUE- love love your pop up box. Your flowers are just beautiful.
    KAREN-Oh I adore BLAKe. He's just shouting out to have fun.
    MICHELE- That new usb looks as though it's going to be a good one. May I have the link so that I can purchase it please.
    I'll be popping into WHS this morning to have a look at the mag.

    We're off on our usual shopping this morning and it's our morning to meet Jim's Niece and her two children. After that we're hoping for a quiet afternoon.

    The CAFE is OPEN - usual hours - so come in; have a look at all the craftiness and a cuppa. Cream Teas will be available this afternoon.lol

    HUGS are on their way to you all. Have a good day whatever is planned.Take care and stay safe xxxx

    1. Janet-the USB or CD can be purchased from Etsy. The seller is Ella’s Design Wales when you search for her(Lisa McVicar). Let me know if that doesn’t work.

    Due-your Pop up Card is stunning, the recipient will be amazed when they receive it.

    Karen-Blake is gorgeous!!

    I printed a few images from my new Ella’s Design USB last night but that’s as far as I got! I’m off out this morning-meeting a friend at Dobbies fir coffee. Then me & hubby are off out for a meal tonight-we’re meeting friends so not much time for crafting.

  4. Your pop up box is beautiful SUE Those gorgeous flowers too I expect the recipient will love it
    Thank you MICHELE for the magazine review and your purchase I will take a look I am so reliant on my Serif ones perhaps I need to take a look outside my comfort zone
    Blake was fiddly to crochet and at first he looked like a yeti It’s a good job I love my grandson. I couldn’t get passed that But once his features were on and he had a haircut (he’s made by crocheting loops) I was thrilled with the end result
    It appears to be a lovely sunny day so we may go to Finsbury Park this afternoon with some Salsa friends for a Latin Festival inc food stalls dancing performers music etc
    Take care all xxx

    1. Hi Karen
      Blake is truly gorgeous. You are so clever at making these crochet animals. I know you follow a pattern but you need the patience to be able to do it. Hope you enjoy your afternoon with friends at Finsbury Park.

  6. Hi Sandra and ladies.
    Another sunny day in Oxfordshire. Let’s hope we don’t have any rain today. I’ve been watching the operations at Whaley Bridge. Let’s hope the rain holds off so they can finished pumping some water out and block the hole up with ballast bags before a permanent fix.
    I’m off to Craig’s today for lunch along with Karen,Keith & Amber. I’m taking Pete’s computer and iPad so he can transfer the pictures from his computer onto a hard drive. Then that and his iPad can be put back to factory settings.
    Gentle hugs to all those that need one today.
