I've been AWOL because we made use of the glorious sunshine we had over the past week and had a week away....weren't we lucky with the weather and what a change today cold and raining....got back yesterday so lots of washing and ironing to be done now...
I manage to find a card that was suitable for Pixies Snippets challenge
its one I made a couple of months ago but it is from snippets of embossed card. The card itself is only a 4 x 4 card but I had this gorgeous image left over from a sheet of images I bought from Kanban years ago.
The embossing folders are both from SU and a Marianne swirl....
Hopefully normal service will be resume in the craft room later in the week as I now need to crack on with samples for next month club meeting...

This is a another of my sample cards I made when were were doing watercolouring in our craft club a couple of months ago....I've used Penny Blacks Hollyhock stamp layered the image up onto a Marianne Creatable die and a paper doily....backing paper is from SU.
Last night we went to the theatre to see the singer Russell Watson but after sitting in our seats for almost half an hour after the performance was due to start we were told he had a throat infection and couldn't sing...I was so gutted...they are hoping to reschedule just hope we dont have to wait too long...
Its a beautiful day here certainly too nice to be sat on my PC but just finishing off a birthday card then off to patchwork....

It was out club night last night and the girls made an Iris Folding card they either had the pink (as above) and also blue....we hadn't done Iris folding for ages...
We had lots of samples on our table from the Stampin Up Moon Lake stamp set and the girls could select which one card they wanted to make or even just stamp lots of images to take home and make their cards there......here's just one of my samples...I used watercolour paper and kept the images quite subtle...
The weather is glorious here in Somerset today and I hope it is where you are...taking a crafting break for a few days... but need to also go fabric hunting as Grace's brother wants a Spider Man quilt.....one thing you can say my hands are never idle...lOl..lOl....

I've been busy sewing over the past couple of weeks making a Frozen quilt for our youngest granddaughter......Theres a lot of hand quilting on it which unfortunately you cant see.....but...
I think someone is very happy with it! ...... its not a full sized single quilt just a large throw quilt..... her brother now wants a Spiderman one...looks like I'm going to be busy again.....
Hope you all enjoyed your Easter weekend the weather was certainly glorious yesterday for us.....

I've missed a couple of Pixies Snippets challenges but managed to find enough snippets to use with this SU Young Vermillion stamp image that has beenin my box for ages...
The 'mesh' corners are from Tim Holts Mixed media dies...I also used the 'waste' as a stencil for the background which seemed to work well and also used an old Stamp in the Hand.stamp called 'field of sky' and added the little 'dots..
Foiliage is bits from a SU Wilson die Grand Vinery die....
Just noticed my cards not striaght....sorry
Hopefully the weather will improve a little bit for Easter as its still quite chilly...
