Sewing again

I made this card for a work colleague who is due to retire soon but past the 11th hour got a reprieve of another month's work! Never mind, she loved it and I am very pleased with this card. It's a shame the glitter doesn't show up on the scan. Thanks for looking, Rosie

Rabbits

My darling twin granddaughters were 4 yesterday - where has the time gone? I made these cards for them and their 5 year old brother thought they were dogs! I don't think I could have made them more rabbit like lol! Thanks for looking, Rosie

Inky fingers!

I really wish you could see the shimmer on this card. I spray glimmer mists and spray paints inside an old shoe box. Rather than waste my precious inks, I place a spare piece of paper or card at the bottom to mop up any excess. The background paper was such a piece but it looks fantastic with a combination of cranberry, gold and honey dew. The tag was stamped (Elusive Images stamp) and then sprayed with honey dew and the scrolls round the outer edge with green stazon (edge part of the daisy butterfly collage stamp, again from E.I.) Everyone will know what I've been doing by my fingers now! Rose

Beading

I have just discovered beading and have made a couple of cards - one as a thank you and one as an anniversary. Hope they are liked and appreciated. The weather has been scorching so I sat in the shade in the garden creating these - lovely way to relax. Cheers Rosie

Back to normal?

Thanks to everyone who has sent get well and best wishes messages for my sis in law. She is so much better, out of hospital and getting back into the swing of things. Life is slowly getting back to normal, or as normal as things get around here. We've had this week off work and have decorated the hall, stairs and landing, spent time with our grandchildren, had a day at the beach near Swansea and a bit of retail therapy at the Designer Outlet Mall on the way home, been visiting with a friend and my husband has played a few rounds of golf. So, all in all, we weren't sloths this week by any means. I have made a couple of cards - one as a thank you for the nurses and one for a friend who is having a rough time at the moment. Hope the sun is shining as you read this, Cheers Rosie

Friends

We all know how important friends can be when the going gets tough. One of my dear cyber friends has sent us this card to wish Jennie a swift recovery. We took it to hospital when visiting last night and Jennie could hardly believe someone even we have never met in the flesh was so kind as to send this masterpiece. See what you think eh? Thanks so much Pipa, you're one of the best! Rosie

Get well Jennie

My sister in law came to stay and when she arrived she was most unwell. She was admitted to our local Hospital and has now been transferred to a Birmingham specialist unit. I made this card and took it to her this afternoon. We all hope she is on the road to recovery and it won't be too long before she's back with us for a healthy visit. Get well soon Jennie, Love Rosie
