Rubber Stamping - North Wales

Good afternoon everyone & how nice it is to see the sun shining this afternoon after the dreadful downpour this morning. The photo I have this afternoon is of the birthday card I made for our son-in-law in USA whose birthday it is at the start of November. It is always more difficult to make cards for men I find, especially if you are not so close to them that you have an idea of interests etc.  Recently I spent some time on Pinterest (if you don't know what that is - just Google it & take a look around), looking for ideas for men's cards.  In particular over the last few days for quick & easy makes.  Of course once you find designs you have to hope you have materials & embellishments to make something very similar.

Hi everyone, I hope you all had a good weekend. Here Saturday was Nadine's birthday, so we had all the "children" ........... te, he they will love me for that I think not .............. round for dinner yesterday.  So! just so that I mention everyone - that meant Nadine, Russ & Gareth.  After dinner we had a lovely long chat, like we do most times when we are all together - no TV, just family natters. I can now show you a picture of Nadine's card.  I didn't do any stamping but used papers & toppers from a "Making Cards" magazine, & used them to create an easel card.  I just can't stop making my cards that way, I really enjoy that shape. So here is the card; Yesterday afternoon I loaded the pictures from the HSNW workshop that I did with Sue on Saturday & you can see them over on my blog - here . That's it for this morning - depending on what I achieve through the day, may be back again later.
