Fabulous Shoes!!

I sat watching the Fab Sue Wilson on create and Craft Tool Shed, two hours of amazing cards and hints and tips, joy.  Have to sit on my hands today as I have spent too much this month on crafty goodies but next month is not too far away.  Now I am watching the 1700 show, oh I do want to buy more but no be strong.

I just had to purchase the Fabulous Shoes CD to match the Fabulous Fashion CD I bought earlier and here is a card I made last night.

 

I used an 8 x 8 white card

Backing papers/shoe/sentiment printed from CD

Spellbinders Resplendent Rectangles largest and second smallest rectangle used

Ribbon, butterfly, and gems from stash

(not too sure about the ribbon, thought I would use a contrasting colour. What to you think? Maybe green would be better).

 

I have tried to make some cards to fit into envelopes rather than making boxes, not everyone wants to send boxed cards and this one would be OK.  I have loads more printed off ready to make something with so be prepared for more cards on a similar theme.

 

My mum is feeling better so I had promised to take her for a break in the caravan so we have two weeks booked.  My sister will pick up my mum after 7 days and take her back to her house till we come home.  That way I get a break from all the little bits involved in taking care of mum.  My two sisters work as Carers and doing personal care comes as second nature to them.  I think my difficulty is that mum lives with me and I feel she gets embarrassed if I have to do her personal care because we are together 24/7. We get there though and I will enjoy my break from her and relax and spend time with hubby and the dogs.

 

What a day as regards the weather, really hefty showers with some bright intervals and a bit windy, a change from the last couple of weeks.  I had a look at the long range forecast and it look not too bad for the two weeks we are on holiday,  but things can change, for the better I hope.

 

 

Take care out there.
