Just to Say

Hello everyone, I'm back with another of my 'Just to Say' thank you cards which I'm doing for the tourists that stay at our rental holiday home in St Paul's Bay, Malta. At first I was thinking of doing an Autumn themed card, since they came in October, so in Autumn, but then I decided otherwise. This because they really loved one of the bedrooms and also commented on it, so I thought it would be nice memory for them if I made a card inspired by that bedroom :) .. and also because I wanted to use a new die that I had just bought :P ha ha :)

So, this is the bedroom which I have furnished with blue and yellow colored bedspreads, with butterflies all over them and fun butterflies on the wall as well ...

and this is the card that I did.. 

 

 I was really pleased with the result that I managed to create the same colors and inspiration ... and it so quick too. The background is a die cut which I have just purchased and the butterflies are clear stamps from Pergamano. I colored them with my promarkers and then popped them up with foam pieces. The sentiment is a rubber stamp from Crafter's Companion.

 Well they loved it and so I was extra extra pleased he he :)

Just to Say

All alone today.. hubby is at work, older son abroad, younger son out with his friends, and it's just me and the dog at home !! ... so I thought I would share another of my 'Just to Say' cards which I'm doing for the tourists who are renting my holiday home in Qawra Malta for their holiday stays.

This one I did it for a very nice couple from UK who were staying in the last week of September. At the moment I have another three tourists from UK (Callington). They are staying till the Thursday of next week, and then, no more bookings, as yet. Have also reduced the pricing for the lower season too, as would like to at least a booking once a month. .. the weather is still beautiful, warm and sunny, yesterday was 30C in fact, so still hoping. Fingers crossed :) 

Anyway on to my card, this time I decided to use one of my fave dies, the cutest owl die ever seen :) which was also a freebie in a magazine. Freebie papers as well, more die cuts and just one stamp, the sentiment one to finish it off. Very quick and simple indeed.

Was really pleased with the result.. now for my next one. Still don't know what I will be doing! Maybe will do an Autumn theme this time, since they came in October, it would be nice, will see !!

Just To Say ...

A lazy day today.. and very well deserved I must say too. Hubby is abroad for the week since Friday and so yesterday I saw me seeing four guests out from our holiday home, taking them to the airport, cleaning up the place, and seeing another two guests in all by myself  ... so was a really really busy day! To top it all, I locked myself out of the place and had to wait till my son got me the other key, so instead of waiting I rushed back home and we met half way, so I was in a real hassle! I was so shocked when I locked myself out that each time I had to go out for something, I double and triple checked that I had the key .. but luckily I still managed in time phew :)

Anyway, I thought that it would be nice to give my guests a card to wish them a safe flight back home and to thank them for having chosen my residence for their holiday in Malta, and so here is the one I did to give the guests from Italy last week. .. Being me, I did a completely different one to give out to the Russians yesterday, but I will share that in another post.

A very quick card, using just dies and one small bird stamp and a sentiment stamp. I decided to do it in monochrome and think it came out quite nice. They loved it in fact :)
