So what have I ..................

.............. been doing the last week or so. Good afternoon everyone - I hope you are all well. Well! what have I been doing over the last week or so? This is what I have been doing ..................... I have been looking for projects, writing up the notes, sorting some card & paper etc to make samples. The notes right at the front & the card & paper under it have now been dealt with.  The papers went back in my 12" x 12" box & I chose some A4 card & paper instead.  During the afternoon (today) I made two samples of the card ready for one of the meetings. So that's one down & several more to go. That's me , a quick visit today. 'Bye for now.

Good morning everyone on a very wet Sunday morning.  I hope this rain hasn't spoilt your plans for the weekend. This morning I have the second set of photos from Tuesdays Mold II meeting & they are of their project for the evening - the telescopic card; Carolyn A festive approach from Carolyn.   The Christmas trees look good on the diamond shape don't they!  Then a few days later Carolyn sent this photo of the same card. She had added some snowflakes to the background a glitzed the trees. Helen Helen is definitely in a yellow & butterfly mood,  as these are the same colours as her Show & Tell card. Love that flower on the top one. Cathy A really nice crisp & clean design from Cathy. Love those bird images & just some soft colouring to set them off. Chris Chris used the same image on all three sections of her card. I think it looks really elegant & it would have been difficult to change the orienta

Good morning everyone & its a slightly cooler day today with the air freshened by the drop of rain we are having at the moment. Today I have one of my recently made cards to show you, then tomorrow I will show the second part of Mold II's photos.  I have had one sent by WhatsApp & need to download it to my computer. My recent card - is this one; A golden wedding anniversary card. I think the die cut sentiment is from Crafter's Companion. The layering dies I have ages & cannot remember whose they are & the wine glass I think was part of a Tonic set. Talking of Crafter's Companion - do any of you watch Dragon's Den?  Well, Sarah Davies who owns Crafter's Companion will be the new dragon when the new series starts soon.  You may have seen the promotional advert for it & recognised her - or - thought I know her who is she?  So there you are. That's my offering for today.  More next time. Have a great weekend. 'Bye!

Good afternoon everyone on another really really warm day. This afternoon I have the first set of photos from Tueday's meeting of the Mold II club & they are of their Show & Tell cards.  The theme was for a card with an opening flap, or flaps, on the front. Here we go Helen What a lovely bright card, with pretty butterflies & yellow papers from Helen. Where's the flap?  You might just be able to see "pull" by the ribbon on the right...... Pull it & you get this.............. Carolyn This is the front of Carolyn's card & it is an envelope So the normal envelope flap is the flap in this card. but there's more.................. life the flap & inside the envelope is a pretty little "post card"' It is all attached to a proper base card. Such pretty paper too. Madeline Madeline's pretty in pink card has an arched door which opens to reveal a pretty floral image inside.

Good morning everyone - I do hope you are all enjoying this warm ! weather. This morning I have the second set of photos for you from the Mold meeting last Thursday & they are of their project for the evening - a Diorama Card. There will be 2 photos of each card - one of the front & then one inside. Sheelagh I just love this card.  Doesn't the snowy work look great on the Kraft card? I must ask Sheelagh about the design on the front.  How did she get those swirls & stars.  They absolutely glow. Rhiannon Beautiful floral images on Rhiannon's card & I love that butterfly background paper. Looks like Hunkydory card to me. Joanna A really delicate look to this card by Joanna.   Really pretty images both outside & inside. Maureen Lovely Hunkydory images from Maureen & what a lovely greeting inside, as well. Lynn I love the colour on Lynn's beautiful card Very different c

Good afternoon everyone - I hope you are having a good weekend. This afternoon I have the first set of photos from Thursdays Mold club meeting, & they are of their Show & Tell cards.  The theme was to make a card with a window or windows. So what did they create.............. Janet Janet created a folded window frame for her card, decorated by a beautiful butterfly. Joanna Joanna created a large multi-window card with round windows of different sizes. In the background - viewed through the holes is a cat, & his eye actually shows through one of the holes. I think I may ask Joanna to send me a photo of it laid flat - so that you can see. It doesn't look like I got the angle right when taking the photo. Lynn Lynn created a distressed tag for her card. Some of the stamped images have windows on them & then the others all sorts of architectural images. Joan Joan's card has a lovely die-cut opening window with a painted gard
