A Get Well Wish

Evening,

Another lovely, if hectic, weekend with the littlest Grandkids. No crafting I'm afraid, unless you count moving all mummy's crafting stuff downstairs for a little bit of room reorganization.

So here is another card that I made a while ago using some fabulous rub ons,

acrylic paints, gems

and an embossing folder.

The sentiment is from Creative Expressions. It is a die set with several small stamped greetings to compliment the layered die.

Thanks for stopping by.

Gelli Plate and Rub-ons

Evening,

I hope that you have had a nice relaxing Sunday.

I was pleased to see on Friday that I hadn't put Janice from Sirstampalot off playing with her Gelli Plate after our little zoom session earlier last year.

I had used it on the background of a couple of cards that I had made for her, 

and she asked me to run through what I had done, which was obviously much easier over Zoom.

These are the cards that I made her using the Gelli plate, bubble wrap and paints for the backgrounds,

along with some die cut sentiments 

and some fabulous rub-ons.

Thanks for stopping by.

Simply Fabulous

Evening,

We definitely need something to cheer us up and make us think of summer today, It has been chucking it down with rain all day.

So I searched through all of my card photos and found a couple of them that I made last year.

They were made using some fabulous rub-ons and background papers.

I used a combination of dies,

along with some twine,

and a fabulous embossing folder.

Speaking of fabulous, Emma had a disco party to go to this afternoon, so she decided to wear the dress that she wore to the wedding on New Years Eve.

We got soaked getting to and from the party, so we enjoyed a snuggle and a film after dinner.

Hope that you have all had a great Saturday.

Thanks for stopping by.

Today has been a washout

Evening.

I don't know what the weather has been like in your neck of the woods, but it has been a wash out here in more ways than one.

I promised the kids that we would go swimming this weekend. They have been asking since lockdown first started, so were so excited at the prospect of going today. Well the Gods were definitely against us. There was two hour wait at the swimming pool, and it was freezing cold outside in the queue, so we abandoned that in favour of finding Mum some petrol for work next week and doing some food shopping. Hopefully both could be achieved at Morrisons. The queueing was very well organized, but I decided that it would be easier if I took the kids inside and bought them lunch as we hadn't been able to do that at the pool.

Wrong again. The kitchen in the canteen had been flooded out so all that was on offer was a couple of rolls and some gingerbread cookies, and a very disgusting cup of coffee. All in all not a good day for the little ones. Mum did manage to get petrol, and we did the shopping so I suppose it wasn't a complete bust, although the children were definitely not impressed.

We decided that a hot chocolate and a snuggle while we watch a movie was the best way to spend the rest of the day, and then Emma helped Daddy cook the dinner which she always enjoys.

So given the grotty weather, here is a nice bright card to cheer you all up.

A butterfly wouldn't like it around here at the moment, winter has definitely set in.

Thanks for stopping by.

I do hope that it cheers up tomorrow so that at least we might be able to get out for a walk.
