these difficult circumstances. </span><span style="color: #323232;">I truly
hope that 2021 is a better year and that we get back to some normality in due course but I fear we have a couple of difficult months ahead!</span><span style="color: #323232;"> </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: #323232;"><span style="font-family: arial;">Today I am sharing
a “thank you” card which was created using the <a href="https://mftstamps.com/products/flowers-in-bloom">Flowers in Bloom</a>
image by MFT. </span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhezss9MUZlZWra7Vla-U0egmAN4KyGPLnInLG0BjzdCNrZcqdcz1pkObqpxPN6ppcfIjPvFy1iCZa5jrpP-TnNSx17628UIGBwWJe7xkAjaoSCm9tRI9D82xrNr5RKBqDoB8oXBrE7Txo/s2048/2020-01-02+-+MFT+Thank+You.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1973" data-original-width="2048" height="385" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhezss9MUZlZWra7Vla-U0egmAN4KyGPLnInLG0BjzdCNrZcqdcz1pkObqpxPN6ppcfIjPvFy1iCZa5jrpP-TnNSx17628UIGBwWJe7xkAjaoSCm9tRI9D82xrNr5RKBqDoB8oXBrE7Txo/w400-h385/2020-01-02+-+MFT+Thank+You.jpg" width="400" /></span></a></div><span style="color: #323232;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><br /></span></span><p></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: #323232;"><span style="font-family: arial;">I stamped the image, using
Memento Ink, onto Make in Colour Card and coloured the image using Copic Alcohol Markers. I then fussy cut the image <i>(there is a matching die set
available if you don’t fancy fussy cutting)</i>. </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;">I die cut a square, slightly smaller than the card blank, and
added a strip of designer paper from the Black and White Basics 6x6 Paper Pad (MFT) along the bottom. The flower image was then added on top. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;">The “thanks” is a Simon Says Stamp die which was cut out
three times and layered up. A couple of
black gems were added as embellishments.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;">Thank you for stopping by my blog, I really do appreciate it and for any comments left. </span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;"><o:p></o:p></span></p>

The sentiment (Bitty Birthday Wishes by My Favourite Things) was stamped onto black card and heat embossed with Opaque White Super Fine Embossing Powder (WOW).

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The image is by Lili of the Valley - one of their mini masterpiece design sheets (Sheet 28) which have unfortunately been retired. The good news is the image is still available as a digi stamp in the Esty shop.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The sentiment is by Clearly Besotted (Say It All). Dies used were Inside/Outside Stitched Square Stax (MFT) and Filigree Corner (La-La-Land Crafts). The background paper was a magazine freeby. Ribbon and pearls were added as embellishments. Glossy accents was added to the TV screen. </span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This is an image from the Little Friends stamp set by Lili of the Valley. I confess I've had the stamps for a while now and this is the first time its been inked up!! I used Copic Alcohol Markers to colour the image:</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Rabbit - E43, E42, E41, E40, E95, E93, E51</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Grass - YG17, YG11, YG23</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Flower - R85, R83, R81, Y38, Y35, Y21</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The papers are from the retired Up Up & Away Paper Pad by Lili of the Valley. I used the stitched circle scallop frame by MFT. The sentiment is from the Bitty Birthday Wishes stamp set also by MFT. Three small punched butterflies (Tonic) and pearl strings (The Hobby House) were added as embellishments.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I really enjoyed colouring up this cute image and I'm determined to do more. It was announced today that the lockdown would be extended for another three weeks - at least I might get some more stamping and colouring done! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I hope this finds you safe and well this Easter Sunday. Easter, this year has certainly been different for many families - many forced, due to Coronavirus, to spend it apart from extended families and friends. However, it's a small sacrifice to try and stop the spread of this terrible virus and hopefully save lives. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Anyway onto today's card which is my final Easter card (for this year!) </span></div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="line-height: 107%;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">The image is from a Forever Friends decoupage sheet (<i>still chipping away
at the old craft stash!</i>). I'm not sure
about the papers as I've had them so long in my pile of papers!</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">The die cut Easter sentiment is a Simon Says Stamp die which I've teamed with the Happy Happy Happy stamp sentiment from Lawn Fawn. A little bit of ribbon and pearl string adds a finishing touch. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
I have another Easter card to share with you today. The card uses a sweet coloured image from Lili of the Valley. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgaocEZnQ28b3TqkEQqsY82Br0JvvKJnarJ_LU2N574Hjjssk1bCSBjxsa_4CGBlsuM0lD9i4ds_tHnoGrz5-I2dvtN671S1cHXeCnEUUwhTP5IczcI6707ifQcrm_9juEZWPJbF65KAgw/s1600/2020-04-03+-+Easter+Card+%2528Design+Sheet%2529+-+LOTV.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1493" data-original-width="1600" height="372" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgaocEZnQ28b3TqkEQqsY82Br0JvvKJnarJ_LU2N574Hjjssk1bCSBjxsa_4CGBlsuM0lD9i4ds_tHnoGrz5-I2dvtN671S1cHXeCnEUUwhTP5IczcI6707ifQcrm_9juEZWPJbF65KAgw/s400/2020-04-03+-+Easter+Card+%2528Design+Sheet%2529+-+LOTV.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
Some of you may remember the design sheets that Lili of the Valley used to do - this is one of those (Spring Bunnies with Eggs). The image is still available as a digi image or simply print and can be found in Lili of the Valley's Etsy Shop. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I used a Tattered Lace Die (Essential Pearl Squares), Simon Says Stamp Word Die, Lili of the Valley/Nitwits Paper Pad (Petal Fresh - <i>sorry no longer available</i>) and a sentiment from Lawn Fawn (Happy Happy Happy). Some flower roses from Wild Orchid Crafts and pearls added a finishing touch. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Hope everyone is staying home (where possible) and keeping safe. </div>

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
Have you seen the new images by LOTV - they are just so cute!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Today's card features one of the new simply print design sheets called Easter Egg Hop. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj6PD-EPpP8CXjshGMh8eFcFEKn7PQiZ9WAbsaI7u6vJrSjMdq-faiXGsMTOPFVCMy69XWh1-uvBgcIoW7DZIwjr35TddBhA_ycV8en66nzAGrf2OV5wgCye7AIdRnmjNvJMSH6KSaWMbY/s1600/Not+Blogged+-+Bunny+Hop+%2528LOTV%2529.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="811" data-original-width="1600" height="202" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj6PD-EPpP8CXjshGMh8eFcFEKn7PQiZ9WAbsaI7u6vJrSjMdq-faiXGsMTOPFVCMy69XWh1-uvBgcIoW7DZIwjr35TddBhA_ycV8en66nzAGrf2OV5wgCye7AIdRnmjNvJMSH6KSaWMbY/s400/Not+Blogged+-+Bunny+Hop+%2528LOTV%2529.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm still trying to use up crafty supplies and this card uses a DL sized card. For some reason all my cards now seem to be six inch square cards. It was a nice change using a different sized card blank. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The designer paper is from the retired Petal Fresh paper pad by LOTV/NitWit Collection. A Martha Stewart border punch was used to create the lace pattern. The sentiment is a Simon Says Stamp Die and the happy is a stamp from Lawn Fawn (Happy Happy Happy). You can't see it very well in the photo but I went over the Easter die cut with a Spectrum Noir Sparkle Glitter Brush Pen. I added string pearls, three punched butterflies and a mixture of fun flock and flower soft to the rabbit's tail as finishing touches. </div>

Hope you liked the card. The Simply Print sheets are really great for making quick cards. </div>

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
I hope everyone is staying safe and well. One advantage of not being able to go out is that I get a bit more time to craft! Hopefully I will have a few cards to share over the next few days/weeks. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
One of my targets this year was to use up some of the crafty stash that I've accumulated over recent years. I was having a clear out the other week and came across a box full of Forever Friends images, decoupage sheets and stickers. I decided to create this birthday card using one of the decoupage sheets. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The patterned paper is also Forever Friends. The sentiment is one of Phil Martin's Sentimentally Yours range (Elegant Milestone Birthdays) which was heat embossed using WOW Metallic Silver Super Fine Embossing Powder. The dies are by Tattered Lace (Essential Pearl Circles) and the butterfly is a Memory Box die (Pippi Butterfly). Roses are from Wild Orchid Crafts.</div>

<br />
Happy New Year. <br />
<br />
Well it has been a long time since I blogged anything - a full year in fact! I'm not sure if I have any followers left! If you saw one of my earlier post (November 2018) you will have read that my life totally changed in May 2018 when my husband of 25 years suddenly passed away. Three months earlier my husband's brother took his own life, so as you can image the past 18 months or so have been very difficult for myself and my son. <br />
<br />
I did do a small amount of crafting - making DT samples for the Hobby House and I would like to thank Jill for that opportunity. Even though I wasn't making lots of cards I did still have an interest in crafting and regularly visited the many blogs I love to visit. I know that blogging doesn't appear to be as popular now as it used to be but I have to say that visiting people's blogs and watching YouTube videos to see their creations certainly helped very much during recent months.<br />
<br />
Anyhow, I've decided this year one of my goals will be to try and get back to some "regular" blogging. This is a card I made for my neice's birthday in December.<br />
<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<br />
The Panda was created using the Picture Book Panda wafer thin die (Simon Says Stamp) and Deco Foil Flock Transfer Sheets (Thermoweb) in black and white. The sentiments are from the Party Like a Panda 6x8 stamp set (Simon Says Stamp). The stars were die cut using scraps of paper from LOTV papers pads (unfortunately these pads are now retired).<br />
<br />
I would like to thank anyone that visits my blog and for any comments left - I really appreciate the time taken to leave a comment. <br />

Hello</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Just popping in with a card I made recently for a friend's 21st birthday. The image is from a Lili of the Valley Art Pad which I fuzzy cut out and place next to the sentiment. </div>

I added pearls to every other scallop around the sentiment and in opposite corners of the card. Ribbon and a bow were added towards the bottom of the card. It's a very clean and simple design, but I really like it. <br />
<br /><br />
Thank you for visiting and I hope you had a lovely Christmas. <br />

<br />
Well it has been quite a while since I posted on here. In May my husband suddenly collapsed and died and my life, as I knew it, basically fell apart. He hadn't been ill and at only 50 it wasn't something that we thought would happen at this stage of our lives - I thought we had plenty of years ahead of us. <br />
<br />
I'm now trying to get on with life but it is very hard. However, over the last few months crafting has helped. I haven't done a lot of physical crafting, but have been reading blogs, watching You Tube videos and looking at Facebook - especially useful during the early hours when I can't sleep!!<br />
<br />
Anyhow I've eventually got a card to share<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
The image is called Mini Bear by LOTV and has been coloured with Copic Markers. The sentiment is a combination of Handwritten Phrases by LOTV together with computer generated text.<br />
<br />
Not sure if I still have any follows, but if I do thank you for visiting and for any comments you may leave - I really do appreciate them.<br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I went with a very CAS layout which shows off Di's super cute image. I took a square piece of smooth card and added a little bit of a background using the distress inks. I stamped the sentiment in the top left corner. The image was fussy cut out and added on top of the background using foam pads to give it some dimension. Doodlebug Spinkles were added randomly to finish of the card. I hope you like it. </span></div>

Just stopping by to say that the Hobby House's English Rose Collection is featured in this month's Papercraft Essentials Magazine (Issue 159).<br />

The wonderful Jill from the Hobby House asked if I would be interested in creating seven cards for the cut out and keep feature. The answer of course was YES, it has been my dream and desire to have one of my cards featured in a magazine. Thanks to Ria from Papercrafts Essentials and Jill I've had seven! Here's a couple of photos of the pages featuring my cards.<br />
