I hope that you are all well, we had a very icy start to the day yesterday, the sun did burn through the fog though, so it was a lovely bright day but very cold.
I am hoping that we will have good driving weather this morning ready for our Journey to Watford, I am really looking forward to seeing those of you that can make it today x
Your Next Challenge
Karen suggested our Challenge this week, it's a really good Challenge, I believe it is certainly something that we can all manage quite easily and you could even make Christmas Cards for this challenge!!
So what is it I hear you ask?????
Karen would like you all to make card or cards making the Sentiment the Main Focus of the card.
I used an old embossing folder that has different 'Birthday' greetings all over it, I used Bermuda Bay card an ink for this card, I stamped my 'Happy Birthday' onto white card, and trimmed it to the same width as the embossed piece, I then die cut and attached two little Border Detail die cuts, cut in the same Bermuda Bay card, it just kind of finishes the sentiment strip and frames the piece.
Framing the sentiment makes it more of a feature too.
To finish I added some clear crystal gems to the dots on that border strip, to give a touch of luxury and then I decided to add a couple of little flowers on the top and bottom of the sentiment strip.
So I think that it's the Sentiment that draws your eye on this card, do you?
I have some cards in my files from older cards that fit this challenge so I will add them to the Blog tomorrow.
Thanks so much Karen for coming up with a great challenge, I can't wait to see what everyone makes! XXX

Morning Ladies,
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your meet-up in Watford, I expect there will be plenty of chatting and catching up.
I've read all your remarks about your bad weather over the last couple of days. we have had the most marvellous mild sunny all day weather here in the South West. I needed to change some medicines as was given the wrong aspirin, took time whilst in town to pick up some bargains from Home Bargains and saw a young teenager sauntering over the bridge with shorts and t-shirt on. I still have my thinner fleece tops on lol Today is back to the grey blanket clouds, not a sign of the sun but it could brighten up later.
Gurt big hugs to Lynda, glad to read yo are back home.
Love 7 hugs
