Mixed Up Saturday

 

Good Saturday Ladies,

I hope that you are all enjoying the weekend, what are you all up to?  I have set myself a challenge to make 4 cards today, I don't usually make goals like that as I don't like to feel under pressure but I just feel I am in a rut and not getting anything made,  take yesterday for instance I went into my Craft Room at 12.30, I had decided on a project and just got one part die cut and then the phone rang, it was my sister, 2 hours later I was no further forward, then my other sister called, then it was teat time, that seems to be how the days are disappearing.   I did have to do other things, I was ringing to price up Skip hire for clearing Mum''s house and also trying to get a Charity to collect some of her furniture but they just aren't interested, it's so frustrating as it's too good to put in a skip.  

I will let you know how I get on.

Our Danielle hasn't let Chemotherapy and Radiotherapy hold her back, just look at all of these amazing projects that she has been making!  She has started a 6 Week Christmas Countdown over on her YouTube Channel.

I am so amazed at her resilience, she had not let her diagnosis stop her, such an inspiration I am so hugely proud of her.  

Her 4th project is even better, I will leave the link to the first project below....

Michele's Magazine Review 

Hi Ladies, 

Diecutting Essentials has a lovely gift this month-a 4 piece set of Dies.

Here’s some ideas of what’s inside the magazine.

Here’s the first article showing us some ideas using the free gift. Cards & gift tags.

Some more ideas but using very different colours. I think these look lovely.

More ideas using the free gift-this time there’s some great birthday cards.

Great article on Faux tie died backgrounds which make for a very interesting card,

I’m sure we’ve all got some border Dies (or punches) that we can use to create something similar to this.

More ideas.

This article explains how to create Inked impressions using Dies-I think this gives a lovely feature to the cards,

I’m sure we can all find a diamond shape to make these cards-great ideas for men’s cards.

Lots more inspiration.

What a lovely gift this would make.

Blast from the past-Iris folding!

Some lovely ideas using poppy stamps.

I’m sure we’ve all got Dies of a similar shape that we could use to recreate these cards.

More inspiration.

That’s all for this week so
Happy Crafting

Love Michele

Michele thank you so much for another fantastic Magazine Review,  ooh so many lovely features in this months magazine.

Our Brenda has that Poppy Collection featured in this edition, it is absolutely stunning and I am very tempted to get a set for myself. 

The Birthday Calendar feature is something both Sue and I have looked at making but the one we saw was a MDF kit that we saw at Ally Pally. So I sm tempted to have a go! 

So many great features,  I might just have to get one, that Free Gift Dir set is amazing too!

Thanks again Michele XXX

Ladies I hope you all have a lovely weekend, 

Love and hugs to all of you,

Sandra
