Yes it's me here at last...I know it's June already... though the weather here says otherwise at present. Rain...rain...sunny interval...more rain.....get the gist?
Friday was my mums 99th Birthday! so thought you might like to see the card I made for her...yes I have actually done a bit of crafting in between everything else happening here.
A Creative Expressions Paper Cuts die for the roses. The word dies are Gemini, but not sure where the numbers are from...but all cut 3 times and layered for a bit more dimension. The frame...also cut 3 times and layered, then mounted on foam, is a basic Spellbinders large square and I drew the faux stitching on with a fine liner to draw your eye. The pink card is bit of Bazzill Bling....remember that? I have a pile stashed away...note to use more of it..lol!
Originally I intended to do this as a rectangle card...but it ended up a 7" square, basically because my Sue Wilson Set A double pierced Rectangle dies seem always to be just the wrong size...I must need Set B!!! Does anyone else find this?
I do hope you are all having a good weekend wherever you are and Thank You (each and every one of you) for taking the time to stop by and visit me. Many thanks also for all the wonderful kind comments you leave me that spur me on....so very much appreciated.
Kitchen back to working status here...so cooking again (with instruction book in hand..lol). Fitters have gone so the kettle gets more of a rest now too!..lol. Just a couple of things on order still to come to finally finish off. So glad to reclaim the house!
Till I see you again, please take care, keep well and be happy. I will be back with another share in a couple of days (yes I have been a busy girl...lol.)

What a lovely card for your Mum Carole - and I hope she had a wonderful 99th Birthday! Fantastic!
ReplyDeleteWe've had a real sunny day (all washing dry too) but think that as I sit her now at 5.30pm you've sent the rain across the Pennines to me as it suddenly has got very dark! x
Oh Gosh, congratulations to your Mom on reaching a breathtaking 99 years. I hope she had a lovely day. Your card is so pretty and I bet the twinkle from the Bazzil is so eye-catching when the light shines x
ReplyDeleteCarole, you are so lucky to have a mother and at 99 years old!! Amazing lady. I am sure she loved your beautiful card.
ReplyDeleteI too have a problem with Sue Wilson's double pierced rectangular dies. I think they are made for the American sizing, as it is different to ours. I wasn't very happy when they arrived, as they do not fit our card bases or envelopes. A lot of money spent and they are useless. Glad to hear you are back to normal at home. Hugs, Carol S.xxx
I am so sorry I missed your last post Carole but have backtracked and caught up and so very pleased to read Chloe is on the mend, as I hope your shoulder is.
ReplyDeleteIt's quite an achievement to reach such an age, congratulations to her and what a pretty card you created for her, I am sure she will love it.

Wow Carole, you've had so much happening lately. So glad to hear about little Chloe - and also wish you well in your own recovery. AND, your Mum's 99th Birthday card is amazing - I love it - and bet she will as well. Really happy to see you in the Playground again - I missed you, even whilst wallowing in the throes of my own minor issues.
