Hand Penned Memories & More - Life is a garden of possibilities

Good morning. It is warm again this morning and I am keeping my fingers crossed that it lasts. A little gardening and then a day in the craft room for me today. I have lots of birthdays coming up so want to get the cards posted before 9am.

So yesterday I had some surgery. I was so worried and nervous about it that it has been on my mind the whole week and I just havent really been able to concentrate on too much. I had a little skin tag/spot appear around 18-20 years ago at the side of my lip. It has been there, not bothering me at all until a few months ago where is started to grow, split and multiply. I think wearing a mask and catching it hasnt helped but now it has been removed and I have to spend a few weeks of not wearing a mask as much as possible until it all heals. I got up yesterday thinking 'got to wear big pants and be a big girl'.

Moving on to today and I shall be doing a few bits and pieces in the garden quite early on and then in the craft room for the day. It will be time to open up on Monday and quite excited I am too. Would you like to come along to a crafty get together? Would you like to make some cards together? If you do, please get in touch and we can make some arrangements to suit us both.

Here is a card I have made using the Memeories and More cards from Stampin' Up! along with the envelopes and cards. Quick cards that look lovely.

I started off with one of the card bases and cut down a piece of Highland Heather card to mat behind the sentiment card. I added a few of the gems that comes with the Hand Penned suite. I stopped myself from using glitter on this but only just.

Hand Penned Birthday Card

Good morning, an early start to the day. This does of course mean that from around 1pm I shall be having a nanny nap to recharge the batteries. No birds singing this morning, which is unusual. We had plenty of them in the garden yesterday afternoon, I think there are lots of sparrow babies in the area as they were checking out everything they could see, so comical to watch.

Here is a Happy Birthday card that was put in the post recently.

I cut up one of the Hand Penned Memories and more card and teamed it up with some new papers with a new bundle (stamp and dies) together with Misty Moonlight and really love the colours together. Everything I used is detailed below.

Sunday and Sharing Hand Penned and Pale Papaya

Good afternoon. It has certainly been a bit of an easier day today compared to the last few days. A chance to have a drive out with the car hood down in the sunshine, catch up with family, cook and enjoy a Sunday roast. I have had a couple of wonderful visits from crafting friends and now time to finish clearing up the craft room after yesterdays mamouth all day, wonderful, fantastic zoom launch party. We picked the right day for it as it rained all day long. It didnt bother us as we were chatting, crafting and even speaking foreign languages that we all understood.

The catalogue launch day started with a catalogue walk through, lots of hints and tips, some demonstrations as well as make and takes. The scavenger hunt went down wonderfully and the crafty bingo was such a laugh, I do hope that all you lovely ladies managed to put your craft rooms back together again.

This is one of the demonstrations I did using the brand new and fantastic Hand Penned papers, stamps, Pale Papaya Card, ribbon, ink and faceted gems.

The thing about Stampin' Up! products is the way that they all co-ordinate with each other. It was a little scary making cards in front of everyone but I am slowly getting used to it. I do hope you like them.
