Oh No Five Oh

Where oh where does the time go these days. I used to make a card or two each day but now I just don't have time to sit and do what I like best very often.  My sister asked me to make a card for her friend who is 50 today and they are having a party tonight.  I sat and pondered and cut this out and something else and just could not find a direction to go to.  Eventually something fell into place, I was dying to use the LOTV die cuts again especially the Geisha one so that is what I chose.

My friend Susan, who is a Radio Operator on the Oil Rigs, is just home from the Congo and asked me to keep her an Advent Frame for her twin step-granddaughters and she is coming to pick it up Saturday afternoon.  We won't have much time to chat as Susan lives in Spain and is only on a flying visit to see her mum and the rest of the family.  I am used to this as Susan is always on the go and caring for everyone. She is one of the nicest people I know and I have loved having her as a friend even though we don't see much of one another we can just get together and continue where we left off no matter how long it has been since we last saw one another.  I seem to be surrounding myself with nice people just now, I met up with Patricia and Hazel and we got on like a house on fire and now Susan is visiting thing are looking up.

My card for today

 

Ingredients

 

Well all the card, pearls. baby's breath and ribbon were from my stash have no idea where they came from, I think the green and pink was a batch I bought from Create and Craft

Image of course Lili of the Valley die cut

Embossing Folder - Spellbinders M-Bossabilities Garden Lattice A4

Creative Expressions Dazzler

Tim Holtz Distress Ink (Spun Sugar) to ink dies

Sentiment from PC

After photo was taken I noticed a pearl had fallen off so that was reattached.

 

Now the box

 

The same applies here everything was in my stash and the sentiment was produced on the PC

 

Now guess what I have been playing with this evening.  I despaired that I could not make roses that were up to Patricia's standard (http://patricia-summerhousecrafts.blogspot.co.uk) and low and behold she produces a tutorial which I followed and now I can make roses.  So a big thank you Patricia. 

 

Pretty good eh.

 

 

Well as usual ladies I eagerly await your kind comments, there never seem to be any negative comments, maybe we are all very good at crafting.  I for one. being relatively new to this, would appreciate any comments good or bad as this will help me become better at card making.

 

Oh nearly forgot welcome to my new followers, Viv and Annie, I never would have believed that so many lovely crafters would be interested in my creations, so thank you all.

 

Take care.
