A look back at our makes this week..

 

Good Sunday Morning Ladies,  

As I am writing today's post we are on our way to Cornwall after spending the afternoon and having dinner with Paul's Mum, brother and Niece,  it was lovely spending quality time with them, Alice is a couple of years younger than the girls and she is such a lovely young lady,  really chatty too,  we went to a pub in the Harbour to eat,  food was deliscious, I wasn't brave enough to have the 'mystery catch of the day' fish as I'm not keen on flat fish,  I'm glad I didn't as it was Megrim Sole, although Mum in law and Alice said it was lovely.   Paul had Hunters Chicken, Darren had fish & chips and I had steak & ale pie, Mash and veg.  We took Mum in law home, said our goodbyes and set off for the 70 mile journey to St Austell.   

Now I'm sure it's not just me but the night before we go away I cannot sleep, I have a million things going through my mind,  things to pack, things to do before we leave, instructions for the girls etc,   as a result I have been yawning like crazy for the last hour, I am going to struggle to stay awake, so if the blog ends abruptly you know I feel asleep 😴 🤣

3 tags for the challenge

Just playing Will probably keep them in my little snippets album

Tag - Christmas - Stencil

Three amazing mixed media tags,  using the Stencil Paste Karen made back on 9th September,  it's still aa good as the day she made it, no mould, no discolouration or odour!   It looks a lovely crisp white finish 

Thank so much Karen for coming up with something different, maybe we need that recipe posting again!  XXX

Hi, here is my card for this week’s challenge, a very old embossing folder and some die cuts from an old set from the works. Sorry it’s a simple card, but I have had backache for the last few days. 

Please don't apologise,  simple is often the most beautiful design!  Your card is lovely,  the combination of that deep, crisp embossing and those lovely snowflakes that fit together like they were designed to be together!  

Thank you so much my lovely, I hope your back is a little easier today XXX

PS... See you later 😘

Sonia's Description:

Card 1: 

Christmas/snowflake/stencil. 

I used the Sweet Poppy snowflake stencil with Spun Sugar and Tumbled Glass oxides. The snowflake in the middle is from Pink Fresh Studios (I think) and added a gem to the centre. Sentiment from Taylored Expressions.

Card 2: 

Snowflake/trees/Christmas.

I embossed the Spellbinders snowflake background. I die cut a circle and then die cut it with Chloe’s Creative Cards stars die, and added a frame, and matted on a Kraft circle. I die cut the house from Mama Elephant and the tree from The Stamp Market and added a couple of snowflakes. Haven’t decided on a sentiment yet.

Oh Sonia,  thank you so much for two absolutely stunning Christmas cards,   the stencilled snowflake is so pretty the colour combination just works!  The die cut stencil is the perfect finishing touch, it looks like its made to fit. 

Your second Christmas card is a real 'Sonia ' card with the touches of Kraft card, its beautiful.  

 Thank you so very much for supporting the challenge XXX
