Day 2 - cards, cards and even more cards

Good morning,  we have rain forecast for today, again.  Never mind, I hace lots of indoor jobs to do throughout the day so it wont bother me too much. 

We managed to get the majority of Christmas packed away yesterday, just the odds and ends to sort out today.  I said that I would make a few sympathy cards on the first day of each month but as yesterday was a spaecial 1st of the month, I will make a few today.  Here is one that I had to send out recently but boy was I pleased that I have a few in my box ready to go.  

This card uses one of my favourite stamp sets and I feel sure a few folk will have this.   It is called Wetland and is one that I just couldnt part with, sadly it has retired and no longer available to purchase from Stampin' Up!  I do hope the card arrived safe and sound. 

I wanted to share ALL the handmade cards that I received over Christmas. 

I am so grateful for each and every card, handmade or not.  Someone said that giving out cards is going out of fashion well I disagree and I will encourage everyone to pop a card into the post, for whatever reason.  This simple act brings so much joy, well it does to me.    It is the little things that make the difference.  Thank you to all the makers of these amazing works of talent.  These cards have given me pleasure all over the festive season.  I now donate the cards (once I have removed the personal greeting) to a wonderful lady who recycles them.  She then sells the recycled cards/tags etc. to collect funds for a local cause or two.

Did you know that there is only today and tomorrow to purchase items from the Mini Catalogue.  This September - December catalogue will end.  If you click on the image, you should be able to open it up to see inside.

Day 1 Flight and Airy Sale a Bration Designer Series Papers

 

 

Good morning and Happy New Year.  Goodness me another new year and I cant wait to see what this one has in store for us all.

I hope that you had a lovely day and evening yesterday.  We pottered most of the day, spent a few hours playing cards with mum and dad, sister and brother in law and mum won.  We all laughed so much it was great spending time together.  One of the things for this year is to spend more time with people. 

To start off the year I thought I would share a card that I have made using the new Sale a Bration papers called Flight and Airy.  This is a 12" x 12" paper, double sided and is so very pretty.

I cut out a piece of Thick Basic White card lengthways and created a 'Tent Fold' card.  

A matt of Night of Navy card was layered on top followed by a second matt using one the Flight and Airy Designer Series Papers.  Did I tell you that these papers are FREE when you place an order of £45 or more?  That is what Sale a Bration is all about which starts on Thursday.

The fussy cut image of the birds is also from the same pack of Designer Series Papers.  I just picked a bit of the patterned papers that I liked and slowly fussy cut them out.

The sentiment is from a brand new stamp sent called Notes of Nature and if you havent seen this stamp set yet, oh my.  I stamped it on Basic White card and layered it onto Night of Navy card.  Not too sure if I like the sentiment like this but I can improve when I make the next one.

I cant share the new Sale a Bration brochure with you just yet as it doesnt go live until Thursday but once it is live, I shall add a few links here.  In the meantime, if you dont already have a Stampin' Up! Demonstrator to help you give me a shout and I shall happily pop a brochure in the post to you.  Alternatively, why not pop in and pick one up.  I am always happy to pop the kettle on for a crafty chat.

 We are packing Christmas away today and getting the house all straight again.  It will take me the whole day as usual but such a wonderful feeling tonight when I put my feet up, everywhere will feel so fresh and as though we have lots of room.

If you have any free time today and fancy a browse through the brochures, here is all the information.  If you would like to get in touch, my details are below.

Have a super start to your 2024 and I look forward to yet another crafty year ahead.  Thank you for having a read.  Tracey x

New Years Eve 2023

 

Good morning and can you believe I was woken up to the sound of the birds singing this morning.  Havent heard them in quite a while. 

We had a chilled day yesterday although I did put lots of bits and pieces away and get things straight....as I do.  Went to see mum and dad in the afternoon who were both in good health (as best that they can be).  I also made a turkey pie, yes we are still eating the turkey.  Hubby has been after making a pie for a few years now so we went off to the BBC good food guide, found something that had good reviews and had a go.   

The last day of 2023 goodness me.  I do hope that you have a wonderful day and evening, whatever you may be up to.  Us, we are off to see my parents again this afternoon and hopefully meeting my sister and her hubby there.  Mum wants to have a game of cards....should be interesting as her memory is not the very best these days, ooops. Having vasular dementia and Alzeiheimers isnt the easiest thing but at the moment she still knows who we all are.  She may get confused by the days and she may get in a muddle halfway through a sentance but we are lucky, she is still mum.   Dad is amazing with her and it cant be easy for him at times. 

Do you make New Year Resolutions?  I think that this last year has made me realise that it is the little things in life that matter and make the most difference in my life.  Such as holding the door open, taking the time to get in touch, receiving something in the post for no reason at all, saying thank you, adding that extra little touch to card making, pretty packaging etc.  So that is what I shall be doing for 2024 making sure that I do the little things.  Do you have any New Year resolutions?  Would love to hear about them in the comments if you do.

Of course I shall spend another year of crafting now and then and meeting up with all the wonderful friends I have made over the years.  Fingers crossed I get to meet lots of new friends too. 

Speaking of crafting, here is a card that was made for a recent birthday.  

 

I loved making this one.  It has so many different elements to it and it is from a sketch I saw somewhere on the internet.  Do you ever follow sketches?  This is where you see an image and it shows you where you should place elements but the elements you use are totally up to you.  

Well I must go and get myself ready for another lovely day.  Thank you so much for having a read x

The last Saturday of 2023

 

Good morning and its a rather cold start to the last Saturday of 2023.  I dont have a 'to do' list today, I am just going to potter all day and sort out lots of little things that need sorting.  I am struggling with my RA (Rhumatoid Arthritis) today as I have done far too much over the last few days.  I think because I can do things then I should but then my body tells me that I have overdone it.  

We had a wonderful get together last night with the local craft club called Derby Dabblers.  We meet once a month, always the last Friday of the month.  Everyone brings along their own projects and we spend a few hours in each other company crafting away.  If ever you fancy coming along, please do, you will be made to feel very welcome.  Here are the details of the next meet up.

 Here is a card that was made for a special birthday this week.

I do hope that it was received.  One of the things that I never know when posting cards out, do folk get them?  One of my New Year resolutions for 2024 is to make sure that anyone who sends me anything knows that I have received it.  My motto is going to be 'its the little things that matter'. So a quick message, phone call or email to say thank you wont go amiss.  Ohh you will be so surprised by the amount of New Year resolutions I am making *giggling*

Do you use Facebook?  If you do have you ever had a look at the Stampin' Up! group on there?  Wow, what amazing projects they share, especially on a Tuesdy.  It is well worth having a look and if you have any queries about what you see, just get in touch with me and I will see if I can answer them for you.

Right, I am off to get myself ready for the day.  Thank you so much for having a ready and I hope you have a super Saturday.  Tracey x
