Mixed Up Saturday



Good  Saturday Morning Ladies,

I hope that you are all well and enjoying the weekend, thankfully we have a quiet weekend as we did our long distance visiting in the week.

Now let's get on with today's lovely projects, oh and of course we have Michele's magazine review, I would like to add an 'Extra Special' thanks as Michele has sent through Magazine reviews to cover the weekends that she is away too xxx

First project today is a gorgeous one, I think you could all guess who made this lovely work of art but for all those new people looking in it has been designed and created by our very own Janet.

It is a gorgeous card for a friend of Janet's but I have to say that I would pop this in a frame and have it as wall art, it's gorgeous with so much incredible detail. Look at all of those little sewing themed elements, the measuring tape ribbon, the cotton thread would around a bobbin with little dressmaking pins in the top. the scissors and the dressforms.  I love that image you have used too Janet, the vintage ladies on dressmaking pattern paper. Your friend will love it.

I will add Janet's description below....

The is a card I have just finished for a friend's bday.I used one of the prints I pulled off Pinterest last week and didn't use. The scissors/dress maker's models are Tonic Media Dies. I used a piece of straw and wound cotton around it and glued two pins down the middle.The piece of tape measure came from a little sewing kit from Pound Land ages ago just for times like this.

Thanks so much Janet, great idea using the cheap sewing kit as embellishments. XXX


Lynda


This amazing card and matching gift box was Lynda's engagement card for her son Darren and his lovely girlfriend Sam.
Such a gorgeous card Lynda, that heart die you have used is stunning, I love the colours and how you have embellished it with those gorgeous roses.
I bet they were both over the moon with their card, I would have loved to have seen Harry's face when he found out bless him.  I hope that you and Terry have a lovely time at the engagement party tonight, no partying till 3am mind!!
Thank you so much for sharing your amazing card my lovely XXX

    Janet & Lynda-your Cards are absolutely gorgeous, so lovely.

    I have a few bits of shopping to do this morning then I think we’re off to visit my Father in Law this afternoon. I’d like to get into my craft room at some point this weekend to try and get ahead with Birthday cards so fingers crossed.

    LYNDA-what a gorgeous card and I just know thst it will go into a memory box so it can be looked at for years and years.

    Thank you for your mag review MICHELE.As always very informative and tempting. Enjoy your hols and have a good rest.You more than deserve it.

    Off on our usual shopping trip this morning but it's going to be a little different in that I need to find a hairdressers to have my hair cut. Unfortunately my hairdresser of many many years has been ill since July and so of course I've managed to cope but it's now at that stage that I just cannot dry it properly hence the venturing into a shop. I haven't been inside a hairdresser's shop for over 30yrs and to say that I'm aprehensive well you can all guess. My body doesn't do back wash and since I'm not straight back wise ah well we shall see.

    The CAFE is OPEN usual hours and cream teas are on the menu this afternoon.Have a good week-end.Take care and stay safe. HUGS are winging their way to you all.xxxx
