Lovely, lovely cards today...Hi Sandra and everyone.<br />Lovely, lovely cards today for this weeks cc. Mine was made very quickly with the papers and flower fairies that came with this months Cardmaking & papercraft magazine, not my favourite gift either but will try to use it up. Like Michele I have quite a few mags. but never used the gifts or the papers to it's potentials so that's going to be a challenge for myself. Looking to see what you make us do tomorrow Sandra. Sorry the kids didn't get the house, crazy prices around. Good luck for something else.<br />Lynda- oh dear ,little Harry was naughty. Hope he don't do that again. Glad you and Captain underpants had a nice day :-)<br />Like some of you today I have had a really lazy day. Got home first after 1am this morning from SIL's but couldn't stay in bed, it was way too warm (isn't menopause a wonderful thing, not tihi) so made a start on a card I could see in my mind but in the end couldn't get it together which is very annoying. Thought about going for a walk when the sky opened up and it just rained for about an hour so cancelled the thought and watched some recorded programmes instead. Have you ever heard about 'Avonlea' ? a little bit like the 'House on the prairie' easy watching on a Sunday afternoon.<br />Sending love and many hugs to you all, Maria Xxxx Mariahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05672255244916708700noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8956760013891051450.post-4899266926234577472017-07-16T19:29:12.578+01:002017-07-16T19:29:12.578+01:00Hi Lynda

I do like the Northern Lights background papers. <br />My word no wonder Sam put Harry on the naughty chair. No wonder Darren was cross as he'll now have to fork out for a new TV.

Mind you it's especially expensive here I expect because of the colleges. Mind you I think Londons houses are even higher than ours.

I need 8 for Sept. mind you I made two at Sandra's on Wed, so at least I've made a start. No scones left I'm afraid when I popped in.

However, we've been asked to go and see Petes brother down in Bournemouth. I was hoping to avoid this. I came with her, or at least she came with me down to Farnborough when my hips were bad. She couldnt possibly drive apparently because as when her daughter was a baby 35 yrs ago she broke down and she didn't know what to do. Plus she's very loud and a non stop chatterbox. I could go on and on but I won't.Pat S Witneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01805104841993312589noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8956760013891051450.post-76912272707377083422017-07-16T18:54:42.875+01:002017-07-16T18:54:42.875+01:00Hi Sandra and ladies

As always not one was the same. <br />I'm sorry to hear that Becca and Josh didn't get the house they were after. My word what a rediculius price it went for. Mind you I'd never heard of where it was. Pete had, and said my word it's only got about three houses in it, but perhaps that was the attraction.Pat S Witneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01805104841993312589noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8956760013891051450.post-65461884960750024132017-07-16T18:44:43.836+01:002017-07-16T18:44:43.836+01:00Oh jeez lynda Harry was a naughty boy.

He looked shocked when everyone jumped out singing happy birthday.Sam did very well with doing all the food.& organising it.<br />Was nice for us having both our son & daughter together Captain Underpants took photos of them, then had ours done with them both. <br />My gorgeous Harry was VERY VERY NAUGHTY on Friday Sam was in the kitchen getting his lunch & he was playing in the front room with one of his balloons from his birthday he got annoyed with because it wouldn't fly upto the ceiling any more it fell down by the TV so he punched the TV screen so now they haven't got a TV Sam phoned me to tell me what he did she put him on the naughty chair. She said OMG what's Darren going to say. I said to him yesterday who did that to the TV he said I did & Daddy told me off he was very angry too say The leased. <br />Love Lynda xx<br /><br /><br />Lynda's craft'shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01532280747477027294noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8956760013891051450.post-35796096362806176042017-07-16T15:28:07.440+01:002017-07-16T15:28:07.440+01:00Not sure if these are the ones you are referring t...Not sure if these are the ones you are referring to Val, I recently bought two Embossing folders from Crafters Companion they are the 3D ones.<br />I have Ornate Lace and Regecy Swirls.

Sandra I enjoyed this weeks challenge, my inspiration came from those beautiful Stampinup papers. They really are lovely to work with.<br />I wonder what you have in store for us tomorrow.<br /><br /> Sorry to hear Becca and Josh didn't win with the bits for the house, but I'm sure there is a property just waiting to welcome them. property prices are very different across the country, I know when our eldest and SIL were buying their first home, they told mortgage broker their salaries and said where could they buy a house not a flat and still work in London? That's the reason they moved to Essex. Although now the prices are very similar to here. <br /><br />Having a lazy day today, think I must need my battery's recharging!

Although Michele's is a close second lol. <br /><br />I'm patiently waiting for my sue Wilson bundle coming from Hochanda so much for not buying any this year!!! Note to self none for sure next year or graeme will go mental lol. <br /><br />Sandra. That's a shame they didn't get the house but everything happens for s reason. £260 g is a lotta money to play with.

I love them all.<br /><br />Sorry I didn't get in yesterday but I think things really caught up with me. I needed to go and do some shopping (normal Saturday routine) but after that I just wasn't fit for anything. Anyway MICHELE you inspired me to go and have a look at some crafting mags and YES I bought one! (cannot remember the last time I did). I bought 'Bringing Inspiration to You' which is a Debbi Moore Papercrafting Mag. It has lots of craft papers inside (40) and Free Craft Downloads inside plus some decoupage pages and the Free Gift is a Monochrome Crafting CD. It also has loads of projects too. It should be interesting to see How I get on with it.<br /><br />Marigny Dobbie has just finished his last shift for a while so he'll be back in Marigny by now.<br />The CAFE is looking very Summery with it's little pots of wild flowers on the tables. There are Cream Scone with homemade Strawberry Jam for this afternoon.<br /><br />Have a good day everyone. HUGE HUGS on their way to you all. xxxxjanethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14769057785697422382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8956760013891051450.post-86438966524463704462017-07-16T08:35:50.083+01:002017-07-16T08:35:50.083+01:00Lovely array of cards Sorry I didn't get aroun...Lovely array of cards Sorry I didn't get around to making one - the week ended up being very busy! <br />I love all of the different fold back ideas and you've given me quite a bit of inspiration <br />Not sure what the plans are for today - OH is so good at deciding things st the last minute!

Lovely different fold backs as well that I never thought of. Thank you ladies for your good ideas.<br /><br />SORRY Sandra that Josh and Becca house fell through. That's a heck of a price difference. I'm sure there's a house somewhere just waiting for them.<br /><br />My photo today looks really fuzzy. I have the blinds down and the light on so it's not taken in actual sunlight. I'll have to think of another way to do it.<br /><br />KAREN thanks for the info re Debbie Shore. I didn't realise she worked for Butterick. Glad your dance afternoon went well.<br /><br />I should be going to the Sunday Market shortly but at the moment I can't be bothered moving. I'll see how I feel later.<br /><br />SANDRA I've made a few cards for the shop and yes, it's the usual dress code in my craft room ha ha.<br /><br />Has anyone bought the new embossing folders from Crafters Companion.
