Snowflakes and Swags. . . . . . . . .

Good morning all. Hope you are well. Happy Black Friday!!!

Thank you for your kind words for Nesta. I think that she is in practical mode at the moment and it will hit her at the funeral.

I'm at the hairdressers this morning then lunch with a school chum I have kept in touch with. I'm thinking of re-instating my fringe. Those of you who have met me know how long my hair is so there will be about a foot of hair coming off to create a fringe lol!!!

Now, I'm fairly sure that this is the last of the samples I made for John's last shows and I'm currently in the thick of preparing some for next weeks shows.......keeps me off the streets lol!!!

Its one of my favourite Christmas cards I have made.

Ingredients

Cream, red and green card

John Next Door Snowflake Circle embossing folder

John Next Door Build A Wreath stamp set

John Next Door Winter Trees stamp set (sentiment)

Sue Wilson Snowflake Gemini die

CS Berry Red PVA pearls

Various green inks dib dabbed onto the stamp

The bottom layer is embossed to half way and the top layer also by hanging the embossing folder over the edge of the GC plates.

The green card forms a drop shadow and is a one piece layer.......you cut the Gemini first then line up to give the shadow and mark where to cut the top and sides to give a sigle piece layer.

Hope you like it as much as I do.

Final GP of this season this weekend so I shall apply for custody of the remote control. I'm sure Mr D will be happy to surrender as he knows I'm not likely to nag him or make him vaccuum when the GP is on lol!!!

Have a great weekend and see you next week.

Ps.......relieved to hear that the "full frontal" Wisty attack has been suspended but am concerned about a tunnel. If you apply for planning permission for that, it will take months from this council lol!!!

Will have to take subsidence into account too.........especially for us middle aged ladies lol!!!

Tumbling Holly. . . . . . . . .

Good morning everyone. Hope this finds you well.

After a brilliant day at the NEC meeting up with crafty chums and heckling John, it all went pear shaped on Friday when sadly, the A/Fib returned.

It was so upsetting as I had, despite other health hiccups, been A/Fib free for 7 months since the last Cardioversion and taking these nasty tablets.

I was determined not to end up in hospital again so I rode it out and after about 6 hours of feeling very rough. it settled.

Mr D thought I had overdone it at the NEC as I was out from about 8.30 til 6.

Have been taking it easy since and hoping it was just a blip rather than the sequel.

Now, back to the interesting stuff, another card I made for John's last shows with his latest stamps.

Ingredients

Cream, red and green card

John Next Door Build a Wreath stamp set.

Memento Dew Drop Cottage Ivy ink

Cosmic Shimmer Berry Red PVA Pearls

A simple card for those who don't like too many whistles and bells at Christmas.

I haven't been able to photograph my NEC purchases as yet but I shall. Fortunately, I had photographed new stock for my website and set up yesterday's newsletter and offers before Thursday.

I am trying to catch up with blog visits............I will get round to you all, better late than never. If you have popped by John's blog, that beautiful ribbon he has used is available by the metre on my website. I have already baggsied the card as our Christmas card for this year as I love it.

Have a great week all and hopefully be back soon with no further scares.
