Adventures and a hand made card

  

 

Good morning, we are off on another adventure this morning.  In my mind the days will be lazy, sitting out for breakfast, going for coffee and meeting family and friends.  Books read at the side of the beach and lots of healthy food with some prosecco.  I will  let you know the reality as we go along.

 

It is a friends birthday today and here is the card I made, although I am no artist.

As it was such a strange size, I created the envelope too, something I love to do.

Thank you for having a read and I do hope you have a wonderful day x

Bank Holiday Monday with a baby card

Good morning on this Bank Holiday Monday.  I have a morning with some lovely friends, lunch out and an evening in the craft room which to me, is a wonderful start to the week.  And now that the sun is shining, it is even better, fingers crossed it lasts.

The painting of the house has been done, my hubby is amazing.  It has taken a few weeks doing just a couple of hours each day but I am really happy to say that its all now finished.  The cleaning of everything else around the house will be done in early October.

 

The girls (my daughters) have asked for a few baby cards so I thought I would start with this one that appeared on my instagram last week.  It is a cased copy from Michelle Last, another Stampin' Up! demonstrator and uses the brand new Lemon Lolly card.  Nelly was stamped and empossed onto watercolor card and the stars were also stamped and embossed onto a larger piece of watercolor card.  A large circle of vellum was cut out and nelly was stuck on to that.  The clouds were punched out of basic white card using the 2 3/8" circle punch.  I loved making this and will make a couple more in a 'kit form' to put together when I need them. 

I am placing an order tomorrow at 12 noon and if you would like anything adding to the order please, do get in touch with me.

Did you know that Stampin' Up! have a wonderful promotion that is only going to last for another 3 days, there is a sale on the kits with some of them having a discount of up to 30%.

Sunday showers

Good morning, a bit of a lie in but as it is Sunday, its well deserved. Its been a busy week and an enjoyable one.  Lots of crafting with friends which really is wonderful.  I shall share our makes over the next few days as I hope to have a little more time for myself.

Mum has had an up and a down week and thank you to all those that have asked about her and sent wishes.  She has been out a couple of times which is so encouraging but this awful ailment (not sure what else to call it) isnt good.  Then she has had a couple of bad days.  We have discovered that one of her tablets for her diabetes is the cause of her upset stomach so I will be calling the medical practise on Tuesday to see if we can get in touch with a diabetic nurse.  I will keep you posted.

Amazon delivered a package to mum and dads neighbour last week and only wenk and reversed into their metal fence.  He then drove off at speed.  Someone saw it all and went and gave dad the registration number of the vehicle, which was great.  Well it took a good few hours to get the police notified and find contact details for Amazon but I am impressed to say that Amazon were very quick to response not only with an email but they telephoned me too (thought it was a scam to start with).  We have sent all photos and paperwork to them by email and waiting to here back.  

 

 

I was so lucky to receive these beautiful flowers from a friend this week and I cant tell you how it cheered me up.  She turned up with a vase full of  water and the flowers that she had just picked from her garden in a bag and what a surprise.   Thank you so much x

Lots of crafting done this week and I have had a great time.  Here are some little treat pouches that I made

They are created with a 4" x 6" piece of designer series paper.  I will get some instructions sorted out and share how to make them. 

I am placing an order on Tuesday at 12 noon and if you would like anything adding to the order please, do get in touch with me.

Well I had best get on with sorting out a Sunday lunch and get some ironing done.  Thank you so much for having a read and I do hope you have a smashing Sunday, despite the weather (raining here).  Tracey x

Sunny Sunday

 

Good morning, the weather foreast looks good this morning, another day of sunshine without rain.  This does mean that the house painting can carry on again today.  When we had a new front door, hubby agreed to repaint the bottom half of the house.  It was a chocolate brown colour but the new door is gray, so gray is the colour we (the royal we) are painting the house.  Of course I am acting as tea person during this task, which is fine by me.  Photos to follow in the next post.

Here is another card that was sent out recently.  It has been created on a Very Vanilla card base with some patterned paper across the bottom of the base card.  The patterned paper is similar to newspaper but the writting is all about flowers and herbs.

The stamped image is from a retired stamp set but I thought it looked nice on the Very Vanilla card panel.  3 little pearl dots on the side to finish it off.  I do hope that the receipient likes it.  It isnt very often that I hear from someone that I sent a card to so I dont know if they ever received it.....

 

I have been asked for quite a few cards for the girls (my daughters that live in Cyprus).  As we are hoping to go and see them soon, I am being a busy little bee in the craft room making them.  Yesterday was wedding cards and today the theme is Christening cards.  I am just creating the fronts of the cards and will take all the elements out with me to put together whilst I am there.  

As it is Sunday today it will a traditional Sunday lunch of roast beef and all the trimmings so its going to be a busy day all in all.

Thank you so much for having a read and I have you have a super Sunday whatever you may be up to x

Birthday card on a wet Monday morning

 

Good morning, it is going to be a wet day for us in Derby today but as I intend on having a creative day, the weather wont bother me too much.  I have planned to have a day in the craft room getting things ready for the first craft get together this Thursday night. 

Here is a birthday card that I made for a friend.  I love the cake image and stamped out a few so that I could sit colouring them in. I managed to create a few cards all very similar but different colours and will be sending them out in the post over the next couple of month.

I got an A4 sheet of card, a retired colour, you wont believe how many lovely colours I have.  It is my intention to use them bit by bit over the next few months.  Do you have a lot of lovely card?

Anyway, I created a card base and added a 1 1/2" strip of co-ordinating Designer Series Paper down the left hand side of the card.  The scalloped oval was cut out and then I die cut a stitched oval to go inside the scalloped edge one.  The candles were stamped directly on to the oval and once I had fussy cut the birthday cake, I stuck, it just below the candles.  Added a sentiment and then adhered everything to the card front.

Thank you for having a read and I do hope you have a wonderful day, despite the weather.  Tracey x

Sunday

 

The forecast for Derby is not too bad today, we have lots of clouds with some sunshine and rain tonight.  We want to start painting the outside of our house so I think we may be able to get this underway today, in between everything else that we plan.

We have had a wonderful few days away and have come back with lots of happy memories.  We saw people we havent seen for quite a while and had lots of good catch ups.  

 It was my friends birthday recently and this is the card I made her.  I adore this stamp set and love the vibrant colours.  I am so pleased to say that she loved the card.  It isnt often I get to see folk open the cards but I did this time.

Do you fancy coming along to a card making class?  If you do please get in touch with me, all my details are below.
