This weeks craft round up

 

Good Sunday Morning Ladies,  

I hope that you are all having a good,  relaxing weekend,   I am looking forward to a lazy relaxing day after such a very long and tiring day yesterday,  long car journeys are just so exhausting.  Nottingham have public transport sorted though, we turned off of the M42 and the Park & Ride was literally a couple hundred yards away, I downloaded the Tram App and bought our tram tickets,  by the time we were out of the car and wrapped up in big coats, hats and gloves the tram arrived and dropped us in Nottingham city centre,  we haven't been to Nottingham for 25 years, I had the girls at Nottingham Queens Medical centre!! In fact I was in hospital for 4 days after having the girls as they needed treatment for jaundice as they were almost 7 weeks early,  so we would have left the hospital on the 8/2/2000 exactly 25 years yesterday!!  

It was lovely seeing family that we hadn't seen since Paul's Dad's funeral, the hours soon flew by, the pub was ok, food was good but my goodness the 'facilities ' were a disgrace, the disabled toilet was just outside the main bar,  the lock didn't work, thankfully Paul came with me so could hold the door, the first visit was just ok as it was quiet, but later in the afternoon it was unusable,  the people at the bar obviously enjoyed its 'convenience', the floor was awash with...(well it wasn't water) the stench made your eyes water before you got in it, so we abandoned the idea and said our goodbyes to everyone, who were planning to leave anyway, thankfully Costa allowed us to use their bathrooms!   Annoyingly all it would have taken was a simple fix of the handle and teaching the staff to use a mop & bucket!   

Let's see what you have been creating

Karen's Description:

My version of Snippet 25!

I didn’t have the right stencil or colours or clock stamp or butterfly!

I used cotton underneath the circle and placed the butterfly in a different place to cover an ugly portion of a butterfly underneath Didn’t have the right “B” or”Butterfly” and the cabouchon makes it look like “Bitterfly” but I quite like it! So

Stencil- snippet - butterfly

Your Snippet is perfect,  I love the changes you have made, the background is really interesting and draws your eye !   I love that you have given it your own personal flair!  

Thank you so much for supporting the challenge XXX

Lilian's Description:

Hello, here is my card for this week.

I used , flowers, stamping, and stencil.

I have been searching through my old stamps and found this one.

It’s made by creative-stamping.co.uk.

I’ve had it for years, sorry if I’ve shown it before.

Stencil is Tim Holtz : crossed, it’s one of my favourites at the moment 

I used bundled sage for the stencil and the matching pencil.

I absolutely love the beautiful simplicity of this card Lilian, particularly how you kept the colouring and background as simple as the beautiful flower itself. 

Thank you so much for supporting the challenge my lovely XXX 

Sonia

Sonia used her recent Temu haul to make this card, including the background stencil.  An absolutely gorgeous card !
