heartfelt wish

Hi there . Welcome to my room .
You would think that  I would say something more original , yes? I have often thought that I should find something different to say at the beginning and end of my postings but ...this is what I  am comfortable with and I genuinely am happy to see you here .
Had a wonderful afternoon with a couple of friends who are newbies to papercraft . I set a little homework for them  every  week and it just thrills me no end when they bring some project along to share . They don't know it yet but I  think that I will start taking photos and sharing their cards with you . They really are picking up hints,  tips and ideas from their lessons . It's like planting seeds in a new garden and watching new blooms appear.
I have a couple of other friends coming tomorrow, Sandy and Jane
 and this card will be one for them to do .

Hope they like it .

Warmest Wishes

Hello , glad that you could call in . Welcome to my room .
Our Wedding Anniversary today . Have enjoyed a beautiful Breakfast at one of our favourite restaurants this morning and a quiet drive around our city beach side roads . A fine morning so there were  many  walking on beaches with dogs and or children running around .
Just a quick post to share card which  I made last night . It is actually going to be a sympathy card for a male   friend here in our village .

Doug, MWH, picked it before looking through  others in  my stash of Sympathy cards , saying " that's nice" . Now I am not sure whether he liked it or just did not want to look at others . Sigh....
I used a new colour from SU , River Rock, for card base . Using another piece just  smaller than card front , I stamped corner floral spray , " Hippy Girl Collection"  from Kaisercraft. Ink used was Soft Suede. The sentiment is from Stamp-It.
I sponged around the edges  before adhering to card front with foam tape .
Hope that you like it . Catch you again soon , cheers Shirley-Anne.

New Colour

This new SU colour , Soft Suede , is even  more beautiful in the "flesh" , than in the Autumn / Winter Catty pictures.
I think that it is a softer colour than brown or choc chip .
I have used it here as my card base with DSP , SU
" Autumn Traditions"
Some SU ribbon , over which I have placed an image of leaves from SU set ' Organic grace' inked onto Whisper White , embossed card , which has been adhered to some scrap green .
The greeting at base of card is from SU ' Heard From The Heart'.
I used 3 flower embellishments joined together with brad over leaves .

Hope you think it worth sharing .
Please , if you have time , leave a comment so that I can visit you too.
                 Cheers Shirley-Anne
