Mixed Up Saturday Featuring Michele's Magazine Review

Good Saturday Morning Ladies,

Oh Janet I was so shocked by the photographs and news about the flood waters around your area, Danielle shared some photo's of the local trading estates that have 'The Works' etc on them, the roads looked like rivers, I had heard that someone had lost the life too, how horrific.  I am guessing the amount of Rain just took the forecasters by surprise, although I know that they have Flood Warnings in place that show 'Danger to Life''  I am guessing you will be staying home this weekend my lovely, sending hugs xxx

Our First card today (above)..Is one of Karen's, just look at the shine on the Owl's wings!  

I love that beautiful floral background that Karen has created. 

I will add Karen's description below:

''Here’s a card I finished today for a colleague moving to a different team
She loves owls All done on Serif
Owl triple embossed and decoupaged Sentiment mixed including Paper Boutique and Tim Holtz''

Emma will love this card Karen, those Embossed wings look incredible and so effective!

Thank you so much for sharing it with us. XXX

Cassidy's First Christmas Cards

Danielle's Daughter Cassidy has started to enjoy making cards and crafting just like Karlie, just look at these absolutely amazing Christmas cards that she has made for her friends, she coloured the Reindeer and Santa with Gel Pens, the colouring is amazing too.

Thank you so much Cassidy for letting me share your cards on my Blog, I hope you make lots more, we look forward to seeing them on here soon XXX

Pat

Pat shared these pictures of some of her Christmas cards a few weeks ago, I haven't gotten round to sharing them all yet.
Here are two of the stunning Christmas cards, I think that these cards were made with some of the 'Twas the Night Before Christmas'' plate set.
The first card has a stunning border that Pat has highlighted with colouring pencils, the Shoe is beautifully coloured too.  One thing that is easy to overlook is Pat's incredible skill, getting the text straight on any card is tricky but on a Groovi card you are writing it back to front as well as having to get the verse centred.  I love the deep red of your background too Pat.

Pat's second card features Santa's Sleigh, packed full of toys, Pat has used a frame around this card, that really draws your eye in, again the Sleigh and gifts are coloured beautifully in bright colours that really stand out.

Thank you so much Pat for sharing your amazing Groovi cards with us. XXX
