Good Friday Morning Ladies,
Thank goodness it's Friday, with Paul being super busy at work and Lucy and I doing wedding invitations etc I feel like I have hardly seen Paul this week. So everything can go to one side until Monday and I plan to do nothing wedding orientated until Monday.
Yesterday was really busy, after very little sleep and feeling fragile because of Uti symptoms, a full day wedding shopping with 5 women was exhausting, they did get some ideas of styles and the shop had the perfect shade of Green and Champagne Dresses , they didn't have styles that everyone liked, Soph & Lucy looked stunning in any dress they tried on, they didn't love the cowl neckline that most of them seemed to have, so I think that they have decided to order their dresses online, frustratingly that seems more of a headache as you have the sizing issues, but fingers crossed they can all get what they need. After hours dress shopping we went to Hobbycraft for more invitation supplies. We got home and I crashed out.
Today I am sharing another simple floral card from last year, fingers crossed normal services will resume on Monday (with new cards)
Here is how I made it ...
its a 'Pinspiration' card, I loved the simplicity of the one flower, which is a stamp from a set I've had for years called 'Tasteful Textures'. I stamped the flower and cut it out and popped it onto a black mat that was 1/4 inch bigger, now came the tricky part ...working out exactly where to score the rectangle onto the card front to frame the focal piece, I did work it out after the second attempt though, it was worth the extra work though, as it finishes off the look really neatly. Thank heavens for clear stamps and stamp platforms too, otherwise that sentiment would never have happened!! 🤣 I really liked how it turned out
Have a great Friday my lovelies,
Love & hugs to all of you,

Hi Sandra and all looking in. It’s always good to see your cards again and this one is no different. So pretty. I do like the clean and simple look. I hope you are taking it easy today after your day out yesterday. I’m sure Soph and Lucy will get something online. I remember how beautiful their prom dresses were. Take it easy my lovely xx
ReplyDeleteKaren, I hope you are improving each day xx
I am just about to start clearing my desk at long last. Hopefully I will at least begin a card today 😊Have a good day. Take care. Love Sue xx
Another lovely throwback card and so apt for today too
ReplyDeleteI hope the girls get better luck shopping online and that you are beginning to feel better I hope you have told your GP that you have yet another bout of a UTI
I still have a hacking cough but am beginning to feel less tired I actually did a bit of paper play yesterday
Take care everyone xx
Hello my lovely, this is such a lovely throwback card, i love the simplicity and freshness of it. I hope you have recovered after yesterday’s excitement shopping for weddings outfits, your girls will look gorgeous in whatever colour they decide, will you be coordinating with them? There are so many colours and styles to choose from, it’s starting to get very exciting as the time gets closer. As a suggestion keep a personal diary even if you don’t get around to doing it every day, it will give you some lovely memories to look back on - moments that might otherwise be forgotten. XX
ReplyDeleteToday OH had an appointment at the Memory Clinic, it was very interesting to observe and I was asked to give some input, he wont hear anything until next Friday, they might be able to help with medication we just have to wait and see.
I am sitting down and trying to keep busy, if i sit back and relax i know i will fall asleep, i keep nodding off in the afternoons lately, mind you it doesn’t stop me sleeping at night.😴
Hope everyone is safe and warm, take care, love Brenda xxx
Another lovely clean and simple card. I’m just no good at clean and simple. Love that colour pink.
ReplyDeleteGood luck to the girls manage to get their dresses, are you all co-ordinating colour wise. All of the men had the same colour ties to match the dress. I couldn’t find anything to match colour wise, I was so disappointed.
Love your idea of keeping a diary Brenda, wish I had done that.
Still sorting my room, want to do some sewing, but have to press all my fabric first, because I keep it folded in a drawer.
Take care Sandra and Karen, hope you will soon be feeling better.
Night all Lilian
Hi everyone
ReplyDeleteI absolutely love your card, the flower is so pretty 😍
I hope you’ve had a relaxing day today after yesterday, but I can imagine it must be exciting and wonderful to see the girls trying on the dresses 🥰
Karen, I hope you’re feeling better soon. These coughs seem to take ages to go don’t they? xx
Brenda, I hope you’re ok. Glad your other half had his appointment today, and hope results are back soon xx
Maria, I hope you’re having a lovely time xx
Have a good weekend everyone
Sending hugs to you all xxx
