Cute Get Well Card

Hello My Crafty Blog Friends and Visitors

How is your week going? Tomorrow we are supposed to be hosting coffee and cake in the garden but it looks like the weather might not be co-operating. On Friday we are going to Furzey gardens, which is near us, with friends. We have pre-booked tickets and we are taking a packed lunch. It should be a good day out. We have another quiet weekend ahead. 

I have been making simpler and simpler cards. Here is one of them. 

I had the card blank and the papers all cut to size for another project that didn't work out. The paper was just so pretty I had to use it. 

This image came from an old get well card. It is just so cute. 

The banner and the sentiment are Crafter's Companion dies. 

Well someone said they wanted to see some of my simple cards. There really are quite a few of them. 

I still like making cards but with all the drawing I do now there isn't so much time. 

Enjoy the rest of the week. 

Happy Crafting

The Anniversary card I made for our Anniversary at the beginning of April

Hello My Crafty Blog Friends and Visitors

How are you getting on? Things are changing slightly. We aren't rushing out to the tip or the Garden Centre and my hubby can still work from home. Not much is changing for us.

As the title of this post says I made this card a while ago and I am not sure why I haven't got round to sharing it before.

When I made the gift bag and card for my friend I rediscovered my oriental paper pad. I used some of the paper on this card. 

The image came from an old card. The bears are so cute. I cut the image and the mats with the Double Pierced Rectangle dies from Creative Expressions. 

This die is a Signature die. I have used it a lot. 

My hubby did like his card. On the day we had a take away pizza. It is interesting what has become a treat now.

Forever Friends Christmas card

Hello My Crafty Blog Friends

How is your week going? Did you have a good weekend? It was certainly good having the extra day. It is a shame it rained so much on Sunday. A quick update on my parents there has been no further talk of stopping the carers going in. This is a huge relief I am sure there will be more hurdles to overcome. My parents can no longer cope on their own they really do need the help. I don't want to find my dad like he was back in the summer.

I would like to say thank you for the messages of support that I have received about my parents. I know so many of you understand.

I have been looking through my files for cards to share. As you know I stepped down from a few design teams and I am having a break from two others. I am struggling to make anything at the moment. I hope things will be a bit more settled when we get back from a short break.

Before everything happened with my parents I was getting on well with making my Christmas cards. I found the image in my stash I have had it for ages. I added trees cut with the Winter Tree dies from Creative Expressions. 

I do like the Forever Friends bears they are very cute. 

This is a Creative Expressions Santa die it comes with two reindeer. I just cut extra and add them. 

I found the sentiment in my stash too. Some of my stash I have had for ages. At the moment while I am not really crafting I am trying not to buy any new crafty bits.  

Here is the finished card. The papers I used were in my stash too. One of these days I will have a proper tidy up. 

Enjoy the rest of the week.

The weekend is nearly here. I hope you have something nice planned. This is the first post from me today. There will be another one in about half an hour. I am helping at a Felting workshop today the other lady who helps can't make it today so I am stepping up to the plate.

Being Friday the new challenge starts on the Crafty Catz Challenge blog the theme is Anything Goes and this time the optional twist is Use Mauves and Purples. I am hosting this challenge so it was me who got to choose the images from our fabulous sponsor Rick St Dennis.

I won the Sophia die from one of the launches on Sue Wilson's blog. I used it in the background of the bunny. All the papers were in my stash. 

There are many wonderful images in the store some a little unusual if you click on the logo you will be taken there. 

This image is called Running Bunny and is available HERE. He was printed onto Neenah card and coloured with Promarkers. Then I cute him out with my ScanNcut. He is very cute. 

I sent this card to my sister for Easter she loves bunnies.

Cute Owl by Pollyanna Pickering - Get Well Card

Hello My Crafty Blog Friends

I hope you are well and that the weather hasn't affected you too much. I have had a busy couple of days getting ready to go away. It is so lovely having the time to do this.

Just before we go. I would like to share another card with you.

The backing paper is that very useful packaging from an M&S flower bag. 

This little owl by Pollyanna Pickering is just so cute it couldn't fail to cheer someone up.

This was a nice easy card to make with very pleasing results. 

I hope you have a great week. 

Happy Crafting
