Unfortunately the light was poor when I tried to photograph this card. This is a request by my sister for her friend's 90th birthday. The edge die is by Tonic and the two centre dies are I think Joy Craft dies. The periwinkle card is the foundation card by Creative Expressions. The gold card I purchase from Joanna Sheen and pearls from stash.
This second card is a slightly smaller card than I usually make but I was just trying out my new Royal Circle die which is from Spellbinders and the pointed star in the centre is Joy Craft. The card is actually white linen card although it looks different in the picture and again the Periwinkle foundation card.
Thank you for taking the time to look in.

We certainly do understand that you are extremely busy. Prayers for your hubby. Both of the cards are lovely and I'm certain the 90 year old recepiant will be joyful when receiving such a lovely card. If anyone has been neglectful of blogging its me. My hubby and I have moved again and it's tedious work. I think we're getting to old for this type of work so we hope to be hear for a while and I hope to get busy on my Christmas cards now that I have all my crafting box's unpacked and new home getting decorated and into shape again. Hugs.....Leanne
Two gorgeous cards, both so beautiful.
I understand your situation as my son had a massive stroke two years ago. It is hard to find time for yourself in these circumstances, but essential if you can manage it...hugs

I hope your husbands health is improving Marie-Louise. My best wishes to you both.

Oh Marie Louise you are both having such a tough time! I hope your husband picks up again very soon. I am loving your beautiful creations, you really are the queen of dies! Glad you are getting a wee bit of much needed craft time. Sending hugs your way.
Both are Gorgeous!!
Oh Marie-Louise I am so sorry to hear that your husband has had another stroke, what a very difficult time it must be for you and your family. Pleased though that you can find a little bit of time to do some crafting, hope it helps to give you a bit of relaxation.
Both cards are beautiful, colours and dies are marvellous. Take care and hugs to you, Kate x
So sorry to hear about your husband. I wish all the best for his recovery. Hope you are OK to.
Two beautiful cards. I love that edge die and the gold is gorgeous.
Hi Marie-Louise,
oh I am so sorry to hear about your husband.
I do hope he soon recovers, and is on the mend.
I am not surprised you don't find time for your blogging.
2 Wonderfully designed card as always.
Love and big hugs from my house to yours.
Lots of crafty love. Jenny L.
Helloooooo there cutie!! I'm so sorry to hear about your husband and my prayers are with you and your family. Despite all that, you still find time to share your beautiful talents and WOW, what a fabulous card for 90! My grandmother is staying with us this week and she'll be 90 in May. She jokes because our son will turn 21 that same month and she swears she's going to take him to a bar and buy him his first drink...LOL. I wouldn't put it past her! I don't think I could make her something this spectacular, but now I have something to look up to as a roll model for me. That's gorgeous.
Biggest of hugs to you my friend,
Lisa xx

Je hebt weer erg mooie kaarten gemaakt. Ze zijn altijd een plaatje om te zien.

I am so very sad to hear that your husband had a stroke. Praying for you both at this time. Good to hear your taking time for yourself too, I know how hard this all can be on the caregiver too!
Your cards are just amazing as always, the receivers will be very blessed by them! Love all the dainty details in the dies!
Beautiful cards they look lovely I'm so sorry to hear about your husband I'm thinking of you and really hope he recovers very soon, crafting is good to take our mind away from things even if it's just a small amount of time

Hi Marie Louise.
I did do a tutorial some time ago in Word, but I seem to have lost it!
It was about 10 pages long and I really do not have the time to re-do it.
The trouble is, my graphics software is so old that most folks haven't got it nowadays. I use PSP7 which I bought about 15 years ago, and graphics software has advanced so much that it doesn't work in the same way.

Hi Marie-Louise, Sorry to read about your Hubby . I hope that he is more comfortable now and progressing well . I am happy though to read that you do take precious moments for yourself for your own well being . Blogging is a fabulous way to touch base with those that you may otherwise never meet .Because I too am a full time carer of my Doug and sometimes , well most times am time poor so catching up with real live friends is hard . Your pair of cards shared here are again beautiful . Your clever combination of dies along with a simple card design is , in my opinion quite artistic .
hugs and thanks for sharing some time with me at my blog post .
Shirley-Anne
