New Home...


Another new home card using my favourite cottage stamp from the new stamp series 'Country Life' by Joanna Sheen.  Oh who wouldn't want to live there?  I love the words that go with this one too.

Not quite so keen on the card though - it started life with the intention of being an impressive 8" x 8" with a pocket and tag with the words on, but at around midnight it shrunk to a 6" x 6" with no tag.  Could have been worse - it may have ended up in the bin!

My New Home card once again fits the challenges at...
My heating is working again today thanks to British Gas Service engineers - having said that I've paid a monthly service fee out for 9 years and the first time they have to do something the guy tells me I'm ready for a new boiler.  Not happy with them. I always suspected that the minute it needed repairing that's what would happen.
Ah well c'est la vie - keep warm everyone - Spring is on the way - I hope!

I'm with Irene ... you could make incy wincy, teeny weeny, teeny tiny cards and they would still be gorgeous AND despite all your dicing and slicing, your finished result is well balanced and very impressive.

Luv'n'Stuff

Just gorgeous Ann, I'd never have guessed that it started out as a much larger card, it looks perfect!
So glad you've got some heating again now.
Thanks for joining in (again) with Crafty Ann's. It was the perfect theme for you this time wasn't it?

Oh Ann what a lovely card. I love the way you have split it diagonally with the house in one corner and sentiment in the other. I am tempted by these lovely stamps - should I or shouldn't I??????????????? I had money for my birthday and Christmas and these are the sort of scenes I love. Advice please so gracious one!
love
