A
quick post today before work and most importantly a very big thank you to the kind words,
support and encouragement I’ve had from some very lovely and kind hearted people
about my current work stresses ,It is very heart warming to know that someone else
is thinking about you and I know its not permanent and could be a lot worse as
it is for many people whether that be
health or life issues. And in many other ways I am so very fortunate with the
life I currently have and don’t take that for granted. I really appreciate this
and was overwhelmed by the kindness shown to me. ..So a big thanks you to those
wonderful individuals.
Happy Easter to you
Close up flowers and swirl
Tilda and bunny rabbit -cute
Almost Easter and wont have the time to make all the cads I need, I
thought I would but maybe next year; the ones I have made I’m pleased
with. I went to town with the die cuts on this one. This is such a cute Tilda
stamp I can see me using it year after year. My only regret is the flowers on
the top right of the card they would have looked better and more balanced if
nearer the corner but I didn't realise this until it was too late and
they were stuck fast! The papers are magazine freebies and the die cuts
are listed below..I Love the wooden butterfly its
a little darker than I wanted but as I don’t have any paint to
lighten it first over all I'm happy. Still no news on my grand
calibur hopefully it will be returned before I have the time for more card
making next. I hope you have a wonderful Easter weekend and get plenty of
crafty time. Don’t eat too much chocolate… is this possible!
Thanks for visiting and lots of hugs… Andrea x

ReplyDeleteGosh Andrea, I did not realise you were having a hard time my friend...there are always stresses somewhere around us so please take a deep breath and count your blessings you are alive and well and put those horrible things to the back of your mind....actually, chuck them in the garbage bin....
ReplyDeleteWonderful card and you know I love my Tilda's too...beautiful and see you next card...luv annie xxx
What a wonder Easter card...I think the flowers look fine so don't be too hard on yourself...I always tell my gradaughter who is a budding cardmaker///there are no mistakes in art...only opportunities! teehee
ReplyDeleteThe stands for my cards were from the famous Michaels 90 % off the last marked price sale (from a few weeks back). I find they clearance like that after each major holiday...Xmas/Easter/Memorial
Day/etc They were $1.39 and I bought the last two at Michaels in Bellingham. The Canadian Michaels where I live never clearance like that...Canadian retailers have never heard of 90% off and would have a heart attack if they did!!! teehee
Me again! Forgot to tell you that I think they are Yankee candle toppers. Not positive though as the packaging was all ripped off and they were sold just as they look...perfect shape but no packaging!
ReplyDeleteYou are so welcome, Andrea. Thank you, too, for your visits and your support of my little blog! I appreciate you as well. Your card is positively adorable!! Happy Easter to you!!
ReplyDeleteThis work thing shall pass. I know it's really hard, but do try not to stress about the small stuff. Just the big stuff. Maybe that will lessen it a bit and you can sleep better! Mwah! Darnell
