Good Sunday Morning Ladies,
Oooh it's good to be back!!! Shopping, laundry, unpacking all the bits we took and didn't use! (Kitchen things mainly) ! We took about 8 packs of flavoured couscous and bought 7 back! Same with rice, the girls said it was too hot to eat much most days, apart from salads, we had lots of those! But everything has been put away (apart from loft stuff) Paul has that job today.
We were shocked at how much food has gone up in those 3 weeks we have been away! Aldi butter is now £1.99, everything was up by over 10p, most a lot more. We buy pretty much the same stuff each week, so we can see the difference in the overall shop, it's ridiculous!
Your Challenge Cards
Lilian
Lilian's Description:
I made this with a new stamp that came this week. It a Woodward stamp by Francois Reed. Bought it from eBay came really quickly. Used my clean colour pens to colour.
I absolutely love the stamp you have used Lilian, that effect is incredible, your colouring really highlights those feature areas too.
Thank you so much for supporting the challenge my lovely XXX
Karen
Karen's Description:
My new technique is reverse stamping using a brayer - a lot easier than stamping onto acetate I used a Julie Hickey stamp and Clarity Stamp paper I created a gatefold card with Pink Frog 36cmx12cm cardstock.
Ooh I have this stamp and haven't used it yet but I love what you have done with it, thank you for the inspiration Karen XXX
Sonia
Sonia's Description:
I decided to do an Eclipse card as have never made one before…
I die cut The Stamp Market ‘Friend’ die using patterned paper (think it’s a Trim Craft pad) and the Spellbinders flowers. I did make a mistake though, as I threw away the centre off cuts from the letters e and d. Fortunately I had another piece of the same paper, so had to cut those letters again, I tried to match it up as best as I could! ☺️ The stamped sentiments are also from the Stamp Market.
I love an eclipse card but haven't done one for ages, yours is so lovely, that die works so well and it isn't too big, your die cut flowers work so well with the paper too. Thank you so much for taking part my lovely XXX

Some beautiful cards once again ladies, thank you so very much for taking part ❤

Hi everyone
ReplyDeleteLovely cards today 😍
Lilian and Karen, I absolutely love the stamps you’ve both used. I may have to add them to my wish list ☺️
I did think after I’d made my card that I should’ve done the flowers eclipse style too - oh well, maybe next time ☺️
Sandra, it’s always lovely to be back home, and in your own bed. Getting the essentials done is always a chore, but a nice feeling when it is all done 😊
Janet, your time away has flown by too. Enjoy your last week 😊
Have a good day everyone
Sending hugs to you all xxx

Hello, it’s been rainy all day.
ReplyDeleteLove all the cards today, sorry I didn’t use a new technique, the one I tried ended in the bin, I really love my new stamp which I found on eBay.
Janet, enjoy your last week in your little bit of paradise.
Sandra glad your catching up with the shopping, and good luck for tomorrow. At least you should get some answers.
Hope to make some bags for those who have had a breast cancer after the op they have a drain. They are wanting little bags for the drain made out of cotton ,simple pattern so am hoping to do a few.
Sleep tight , Lilian
