Mixed Up Saturday featuring Michele's Magazine Review

 

Good Saturday Morning Ladies, 

I hope the weather is being kind to you all this weekend,  we have had a very wild couple of days, the wind has been blowing a gale! Rain too, the Thames is flowing freely through the fields, it must be so disheartening for the farmer.  The tree is up at last, I was going to say that I am probably the last one but I know Sue has been known to leave it later than us!!

Maria

Maria has finished her Calendar and just look how beautiful these floral images are (including the one that opened the blog today). 

Maria's Description:

First up today, I have finished the Calendar. Flowers from a book

(don't know the name) but pretty and it also have a bit of decoupage 

on so had to keep the other months in a separate place.The other 2

photos showing the months from left to right , January - June and

July - December .

Thanks so much for inspiring us with your beautiful Calendar Maria XXX 

Janet

Janet has shared her beautiful handmade Christmas Gift Envelope with us, what a beautiful way to gift wrap a voucher or cash for someone for Christmas,  a lot of Children these days ask for a voucher or money towards something bigger.  I am not a fan of giving money,  but we do do it for Paul's Nieces and Nephew as we have no idea what to get them and when we asked the answer is generally money.  We had bought those All4one vouchers from post office but this year with so many companies closing down,  its too risky.  

Janet's Description:

The first picture is of MONEY WALLETS for this year. The dies are TONIC which were released two years ago and the card used is also their Mirror Card/White Glitter Card.

Thanks so much for sharing Janet, I might look out for that die. XXX

More inspiration & ideas.

An article from Christina Griffiths who designed the free gift.

Another idea.

I was featured again! My Clean + Simple cards.

Lovely inked shaker cards here-definitely different from Christmas colours.

Die cutting off the edge-this technique will make your card stand out.

Floating panel cards-these look stunning.

How amazing is this? Hard to believe it’s made from card!
