Love Birds

Good Morning...Its a sunny start of the day here in Essex....but very cold....the builder came yesterday and started on the work in my conservatory and had taken some of the plaster off...and put a dehumidifier in place....

On to today's card....all the card Papermill....the die set is from Sizzix....lots of cutting and tiny bits....but got there in the end!!!....Ive made it for a young couple who hope to move soon....I used some gem for the flowers and the birds eyes...which makes look a bit spooky!!! maybe next time I leave them alone....lol.....Sorry the photo is not good still playing with windows 10....

Im back.....

Good Morning...
I'm back!.... had computer and houses problems...my new computer is up and running...had to get a computer man in to transfer all my images and photos... great fun...NOT....getting into my web sites...the only which wont let me is Docrafts....even try a new email and pass word...pain in the bum!!!...then had to go and buy a new camera as my old one the card is too big to fit into my new computer ....
and on top of everything ive got a on going leak in the back wall of my house where the conservatory is on it....so I had a builder in to have a look....When I looked at the houses last year it been "done up" to sell and the leak had been plastered over and is now spreading over the wall....I have insurance with Churchill....but will only pay out £480.00 and i have excess of £450.00....so i looks like i have to pay all of it myself....I have never made a claim...the the guy at Churhill was so unhelpful....so I be looking for a new insurance company thats for sure!!!

On today's card....sorry its a bit dark....cant seem to brighten it....I got a new die as a christmas gift....no name....but it looks like Marianne but flip side! I used some old gold card,linen card and pale yellow card....and one of my new vintage images...leaves Sizzix....flower from Memory Box...and a few pearls....

Vintage Lady

Good Morning....Hope you are keeping well and warm!...


Today is the start of a new challenge over on Fab n Funky....and the lovely Chris is our host this week and its NO Designer Papers....Which i found hard as i always start with the papers....


So I started with  Tonic die set and used the large one to make the base card....the digi image is from Etsy.. The Old Design Shop....I brought two lots as I love the vintage look.....I cut three more layers of card from stash and the last two of them embossed one and stamped the other with a word stamp....frame die was a xmas gift no name....and a bow with some gold ribbon and pearls....
