Hi everybody and Welcome to my new follower Jacquie.  Thank you for adding your name to my blog.  I realise that I have been behind on commenting on some of the blogs but this is due totally to a lack of time.  Somehow the days just never seem to be long enough.  Anyway I have been working away in the craft room for the past few days trying to replenish my stock box and today's card is one of my new stock.

Thank you for taking the time out of your busy day to look in and leave a comment.  I do appreciate this very much.

Hi everybody.  First of all I want to say Welcome to my new followers and also Thank You for all the lovely bloggers who constantly visit and leave such lovely comments.

My card which I would like to share with you today is for a very dear friend who will be 91 in a few days time.  Unfortunately this lovely lady who is so vibrant and alert has virtually lost her sight - so I wanted to use strong colours so that she might be able to see some outline.  The die I have used
is the Spellbinders Heirloom Legacy die along with some flowers from Wild Orchid and ribbon from stash.

Thank you for taking a look.

                                         

Hi everybody - The rain has finally arrived after such a long dry sunny spell.  A wet day is a good excuse to stay in and play in the craft room.  My card today is one that I made a couple of weeks ago as a request.  It is very simple just using the one die which is the Spellbinders Tapestry die and my usual flowers and ribbon.  The bow was an experiment using my new Zutter Bow it all which is absolutely brilliant.  Thank you for looking in today.

                                                   

Hi everybody.  I hope that you are all enjoying the same beautiful sunny weather that we have been having for the last number of days.  My card today is made from a Tonic Die which although it is quite a nice die I do not think there is very much you can do with it.  Normally I like a die which I can use in different ways but this die I find to be quite limited.
                           
                                         

Thank you for taking a look.

Many Thanks

Hi everybody.   First of all I want to say Thank You for all the kind comments both on my card and on my son's achievement.  My card today is one that I  saw on the blog of the wonderful Sasha of  Sasha's Inspirations.  Sasha did this card in the most beautiful shade of green and it is well worthwhile looking at her blog as her cards are simply gorgeous.  The die is Spellbinders Adorning Squares cut from Centura Pearl cardstock and the flowers were a gift from my lovely friend Jacqui.

                                           Thank you for taking a look.

                                               

                                       

Hi everybody and a very warm welcome to my new followers.  As you can see I have the Hodgkins Lymphoma badge on my sidebar.  This is because my son (who was 21 at the time) was diagnosed  4 years ago.  When he was diagnosed he was in the latter stages of the disease (stage 4).  Well my reason for telling you this is that he enrolled in University shortly after he was diagnosed and  attended classes between his chemotherapy and radiotherapy sessions which took almost a year and last week he got his exam results and has passed and is now B.Sc.  I am so very proud of him.

Anyway, my card today was a commssion for a 50th birthday.  The little flower was my first attempt at a flower made from crafters clay and a little mould.

                               

Thank you for taking a look.

Hi everybody.  Thank you for taking the time to look in and for all the lovely comments that you leave.  They are so very much appreciated.  My card today is one that I made about a month ago for my stock box but I never got around to posting it on here.  My neighbour has just purchased it for her son's partner so I thought I would show it before I gave it to her.  When she saw it I did not have a box made for it but now it is ready to go.

I used a matt hammered card for a change and layered it with a Marianne cut and emboss folder - my usual ribbon and flowers .  The tiny flowers I made from a small tonic punch which came free with a magazine years ago.

                                           

Hope you all have a lovely Easter.
