How Do You Wrap a Hug?

Hi there . Hello to all my followers and new visitors alike .Hope that you enjoy browsing through my blog tonight . Welcome to my room .

Today , being Tuesday , I took another lot of cards and kits to my table at the Roundabout to share with my friends . There were a couple who could not make it today but there was still plenty of chit chat . Doug dropped in to see us and after cardmaking , we stayed for lunch .

To share tonight on this post is a card we made today .

The top image is " Maxwell's Note " Stampabilities. Words from Teen Tiny Sentiments, SU.

I used a few diecuts for this creation . In my own blog travels , I have seen a few of these , but my inspiration for this one came from http://craftyblogocks.blogspot.com.au/ thank you Paul.

I did make a few errors with the larger circle at base with my stamped image being seen when top circle was closed .But I penciled an outline of top circle and used my Stampa ma jig to place the sentiment and the image in the right place . Sentiment from Penny Black and little 'meece'

from Micey Day, Penny Black .

Loved making this one .

Hope you like it .

Thats it for tonight but will try to fit some comments in now .

Catch you again soon , cheers for now , Shirley-Anne.

Quiet Wednesday

Hi there .Welcome to my room .

Just sharing some cards made with kits for my wonderful craft group .All card stock is from SU.

The papers for the top two cards are also from SU .The sentiment , " Best Wishes" is from a retired set from SU. " Thinking of You " is from annabellestamps.

The "Flowering Vine " from first card is a stamp from Stamp-It.
The last card was a little more work to create but my favourite for the day .

More Mustard ,SU, for the card base. with Whisper White for matte and image . The floral arrangement is , " day dreams " from Penny Black .I sponged the white card with two colours, leaving a centre strip between, white ...then stamped the image in Basic Brown. I left it uncoloured .


The background, a retired stamp fom SU, is on Daffodil Delight card, SU.


Ribbon and rhinestones from my stash .





It is a quiet Wednesday because Doug and I have had two glorious days out of the house .


On Monday we went on a bus trip , organised through our retirement village . Through the hills for morning tea at Stirling then on to Middleton for lunch .


On Tuesday Doug gophered off for coffee while I went to Tuesdays craft morning at the Roundabout. About mid morning Doug came in to visit the 6 girls ..[.mainly Sandy as she comes to our home for craft too, as well as Fran who had to work this time but is usually there] After the craft session the girls left and Doug and I walked over to shopping centre for some shopping , making it back to the Roundabout for the great luncheon they serve there .


So as you see it had been two very busy days for Doug and today he is dozing a lot in his chair .


Which means that I have the chance to quietly upload some cards to share in this post today .


Thanks for calling in to see me and I hope you like the cards .
