Approaching Perfection

Hopefully this card is ok for a male...Its a SU set called Approaching Perfect which I found on that well known auction site.

  Just finishing the card off when a blob of red ink dropped on my card hence the 2nd sentiment being lower down....but don't think the recipient would notice it looks better in the flesh!..

What a horrible day, wet and very windy but just the kind of day to craft...

have a good day everyone..

Daffodil Delight....

Sorry I've not been blogging much recently, I haven't been idle but I've been doing other things hence not spending time in the craft room, that's the problem with more than one hobby...

This lovely daffodil card was made at a coffee and card morning with the lovely Jill Lackford on Saturday.....I only send one Easter Card a year and that's to a dear friend so thought this would be ideal... SU cards tend to be 6" x 4" which are cards I don't make so I've put another mat behind the front of the made and made it into a 5" x 7"...

I have got other things on my desk waiting to be finished off so must get down to completing the cards... 

Thanks for taking to time to stop by

The Cats whiskers...

When I saw this image on my friend Val's blog I loved it ...  Val very kindly stamped a couple of images for me.... they are Trilby Cats from Crafty Individuals...the sentiment is computer generated... 

I have a couple of stamps from Crafty Individuals which I am ashamed to say haven't seen any ink yet...but this is has fired me up to get them out....so watch this space.

It's a miserable day down her in Somerset, cloudy and damp..so I reckon the best place to be is in the craft room.. That's its from me.

Sapphire Anniversary....

Sorry I've been a bad blogger and not posted but I have been busy 'behind' the scenes making birthday and anniversary cards for January and February,  this is the first one I can show you as its our friends Sapphire Anniversary 45 years today....although having posted the card off last Thursday it still hasn't arrived.... I don't think we are getting post everyday now and talking to a couple of friends they think the same...

Anyway again trying to us up my stash I've used a paper doily and an image which I've had for years but can't remember where it came from apart from a craft fair many moons ago....  

Did you know that there are two Sapphire Wedding anniversaries?  I didn't until a friend told me it was their 65th anniversary and this one is called Blue Sapphire Anniversary.... you learn something every day..

Its been very foggy and  frosty here today and I read that snow is on its way for the UK....fingers crossed it doesn't reach Somerset..

Thanks for stopping by

First card of 2022

Happy New Year everyone....

First card of 2022 is an old Penny Black image called 'Fetching Slippers'..

Whilst sorting out I have found a folder with a lot of stamped images that just need colouring up so I need to use them.... Trying to be good and to use what I have like many crafters I have bought things that have just sat in the cupboards including stamps...use those paper too that I think 'they are too nice to use'...silly really.

Sorry the photograph isn't very good its a really dark and miserable day here.

Hopefully 2022 will be better than 2021 but we still living with a lot of uncertainty...  all we can do is to try and stay safe....
