Thinking of You - Hand Penned

Good afternoon. Here is a card that was made using the Hand Penned Memories and More card kit.

I used one of the sentiments from the Ephemera that is included in the cards and teamed it up with Fresh Fresia card and ribbon. I realise that I have forgotten the little dots that co-ordinate. I still have more to do and will get round to them in the next few days.

I had a bit of a stumble on Saturday, limped along fine yesterday but last night and today my knee has been awful. It is difficult to walk, hubby has to help me get up from being seated and the pain is so bad. I am keeping my fingers crossed that it all improves over the next 24 hours. I do keep having little walks so that I dont set but ouch.

Thank you for having a read today. I do hope that you have enjoyed the Bank Holiday Monday, the weather in the UK has been wonderful. Tracey x

Wednesday

Hand Penned Memories and More cards

Good morning, we have sunshine in Derby today. It has been a while since I got up to the sun shining, it has been very cloudy, lots of rain and gray days recently so its a lovely start to the day.

Today I have a day planned in the craft room and I am so looking forward to it. I have my list ready and will work down it. I am so lucky that my hubby will cook lunch and dinner today giving me a chance to get creative. Fingers crossed I get to sit in the garden and the sunshine for coffee breaks.

I did another live video last night, I am getting brave. I made this card using the Hand Penned Memories and More cards along with the matching envelopes and card bases.

I created my own gems using Pale Papaya blend pens and Rhinestones and teamed the card up with Pale Papaya card and Pale Papaya ribbon.

Wedding Anniversary card and some new tag dies

Good morning, a warm start to the day is Derby. It is already 10 degrees. So today I am opening up the Craft Room from 10am until 7pm. I have a whole day of crafting planned today. Card making this morning and sewing this afternoon and I am really looking forward to it.

It was my sisters Wedding Anniversary yesterday and here is what I created for her.

The stamp is a very old one from my stash and it has been coloured in with alcohol blenders. The sentiment was generated on the computer but I cut it out using one of the new tag dies from Stampin' Up! I added a heart from an old punch and some ribbon. The whole card is cream in colour but I didnt manage to capture that. As we know, my photography skills are not the very best.

It was also my dads birthday yesterday and I must admit we had a hug. The first time I have hugged him and my mum in over 14 months, goodness, it was very emotional. We have all had our vaccines and all 'as safe as we can be'. How I have taken things for granted in the past. Now all I want to do is give my girls a hug.

Birthday cards - lots of them

Good morning and here we are, another start to another week but today, in the UK, we have had a few restrictions lifted and things have changed. We can not have 30 people meet outdoors, 6 people inside the house and pubs, clubs, restaurants have opened their doors for inside food and drinks. We shall continue to take things slowly but, I am opening up the Craft Room for the sale or cards and crafting products. I cant manage 'drop ins' just yet so if you would like to visit me, just send me a message or email and the day/time you hope to arrive and I can be sure that no one else will be around during your visit. Baby Steps.

Just look at all the beautiful cards I received that were handmade. I felt so spoilt on my birthday and so grateful that I have such wonderful friends.

Yesterday was a day in and out of the garden, in between the showers. This white flower is around 13 years old. I took a cutting of it before we moved house and it has taken lovely in the fairy garden.

The tulips are out, although they are a rather strange shape. There were quite a few bulbs in this pot but at least we have some colour.

My aubretia looks lovely, I just wish it would last a little longer. I am not so sure what it will look like this morning after all the rain we had yesterday.

Saturday

Saturday with Hand Penned Petals

Good morning and its a bit cooler again today. Forecast for today is rain, rain and a bit more rain. We are potting on today so we may get a little wet. The greenhouse is full of plants ready to move outside and the rain water will do them good.

It was my birthday yesterday and what an amazing day it was. We had friends and family visit all day long, so nice to sit outside and catch up with everytone. I was so spoilt with cards, gifts and wishes. A wonderful way to spend my birthday.

So here is my Amarylis. It is 6 years old. It flowered on year one beautifully and then on year 2, we just got leaves. The leaves never died and just got longer and longer so at year 4 it went into the greenhouse. To my horror, we re-discovered it last week after it having no looking after (not even water) for all this time and it has a 'head' not too sure what you call it.

So now it is watered and being talked to each day in the hopes that it will flower. It isnt too tall and there are no leaves, fingers crossed. I will keep you updated.

Today I feel like I have had a bit of a holiday, rested, relaxed and ready to tackle what ever is thrown at me. The to do list is ready and I am working my way down it.

Here is a card that was made showcasing the really useful Hand Penned Petals stamp. I cut down some of the very pretty designer series paper and added a ribbon in the same Soft Succulent colour. There are rhinestones that I have coloured in using the blend pens. The sentiment has a little of the frilled edge which comes from one of the dies in the co-ordinating Hand Penned dies set.

The actual stamped image (stamped in Stazon) was coloured in a couple of days after I stamped it with the inks Pale Papaya and Polished Pink. I do hope you like this card.

I cant believe that it is a week ago since I did the catalogue launch, time really has sped by this week. I have been concentrating on sorting out just one room in the house, wardrobes, under bed, overhead storage lockers etc. It is have a really good Spring clean in the hopes that it doesnt get cluttered again in the near future.
