Good Friday Morning Ladies,
Here we are at the start of another weekens, what have you all got planned?
You are probably all bored of me telling you about our day here as its pretty much the same day to day.
We did have a different day on Tuesday, it was a little bit cloudy and threatened storms all day, although they never appeared, we spent the day playing games, we learnt a new card game, played scrabble a few times. Had a long leisurely lunch and then decided to go to the local 'tourist' town and have a cone of skin on chips followed by double scoops of ice cream in cones, the hardest part was choosing a flavour! I went for mango and coconut!!
Next Week's Challenge
Your Challenge for next week is a simple one.
There are 16 weeks until Christmas as if this week, so we really need to be getting our Christmas cards organised, I haven't thought much about it, I made one for this Challenge and one other so far, I know Val has started hers already and I must say that when i went into a card shop with the girls before we came away, the card shop had Christmas cards i too, IN AUGUST!!.
There are no particular rules, other than it being a 'Christmas card'.
I went for a different look for mine, the decorative paper is an old SU one, I teally liked the bright colours. I made a foamiran Poinsettia using my new John Lockwood Ponsettia die, the foam matched the 'real red' in the paper really well. The leaves were made using Old Olive green card to match the background too.
I added some matching ribbon to hide the join of the DSP and SW Ponsettia Edger die cut.
I hope you like it, it's quite 'non traditional ' but i love the colours.
I hope that you all have a lovely weekend,
Love and hugs to all of you,
Sandra

ReplyDeleteA good Challenge SANDRA and one I'll not be struggling with as I've already started my mammouth task of Seasonal cards.
Yep it's that 'swear' word for me today.Honestly this day come round faster each week. At least it's cooler so I should be able to get things done.
I hope you get some satisfaction with your appointment MICHELE.
The CAFE is OPEN and there's fresh fruit tarts in the cooler. HUGS are winging their way to you all. Stay safe and take care xxxx
Hi everyone,
ReplyDeleteI love your card Sandra. I've made most of my own personal Christmas cards but have yet to start on the shop ones.
We DID actually get the threatened storm on Tuesday although not as had as Madrid where the cars were floating down the road. Happily it's freshened everything up and it's such a lovely temperature here now.
Off to craft club shortly. As usual I've not got anything ready so better scoot upstairs before Wendy picks me up in an hour.
Have a good day everyone.
Love Valx

Hi Sandra & Ladies
ReplyDeleteI’m glad your enjoying your holiday. Both cards over the last 2 days have been lovely.
Great card today. As you know I’ve started my Christmas cards but they’re Groovi ones. I do have lots of bits and pieces that I’d cut two years ago so might try and do something with those this year. It’s quite warm today although a bit windy. Hugs to all who need one today.
Lilian I hope your feeling a bit better now.
Hello All, another lovely day, although we could do with some rain for the garden.
ReplyDeleteSandra lovely card, not thought about any of these cards yet.
Had a visit from my Nephew from Brazil lovely too see then, but I was just dishing up lunch, not enough to share, so had to rush around and make some sandwiches. They are going to live in Australia now so I don’t suppose we will see much of them now.
Hope you get some help Michele, it’s a horrible time.
Margaret glad you have some meds to help.
Lynda sorry to hear your still in a lot of pain.
Hugs to all, Lilian
