DIE WORK FOR QUICK CARDS

Hi Everyone

Happy Monday!!  I hope you had a brilliant weekend.  

It doesn't seem two minutes since I was saying this last week LOL!!

I thought I would share a couple of cards which were part of a set I made for the current issue of  Quick Cards Made Easy magazine.

Normally I just share my favourite .. .. .. but this time I have struggled to decide which to show because I love them all for different reasons.

So I have whittled it down to two.  The first one because I just love it .. .. and the second because I enjoyed encasing the lovely diecut in acetate.

I was asked to work with Wild Rose Studio Dies and Design Papers and I teamed them up with Pink Petticoat sentiments.  They worked really well together and I love the colours in the backing papers.

Of course my pictures don't look anything like as good as the ones the magazine took but at least they are good enough to share.

Have a lovely day everyone.  The weather is gorgeous again here today .. .. such a huge difference to Saturday! 

I'll catch you again tomorrow for "Teeny, Tiny Tuesday".

Love

SUNDAY SNIPPETS

Hi Everyone

Happy Sunday.

I hope you are having a lovely weekend.

Today is certainly a huge improvement on yesterday weatherwise!

My day is one of those kind where everywhere you look you can see something that needs either cleaning, cooking, ironing, polishing or just plain putting away .. .. my least favourite kind of day!

One of the pleasant parts of the day so far though has been a quick play with my snippets.

So here are my two shares for today:

As always on a Sunday I am lazy and do not list my ingredients but please feel free to ask if there is anything you wish to know (just can't help with the winning lottery ticket numbers for this week I'm afraid).  LOL!!

OK time to link up to Pixie's Snippets Playground Challenge and then get back to what feels like never ending chores .. .. but at least I will be happy when I start tomorrow with everywhere tidier and more organised.

Enjoy the rest of your weekend.

Love 

BOHEMIAN

Hi Everyone

Happy Saturday!!

What is your weather like?

We were woken up very abruptly at 5.30am by an almighty thunder clap .. .. so loud we thought it was a cannon going off somewhere! Just the one episode thank goodness .. .. and then rain pretty much ever since!

The lawns will definitely be happy as they were well ready for a good old drink!!!

I'm not happy at all with how quickly this week is disappearing :-(

Enjoy your Thursday.

SUNDAY SNIPPETS

Hi Everyone

Happy Sunday!!

I hope you are having a good day .. .. weather wise it is a bit of a mixed bag here .. .. a bit like it doesn't really know what it wants to do.

Up with the lark this morning so I am nice and early with my snippet makes today ready for taking over to Pixie's Snippet Playground.  If you have never joined in then you really should .. .. I promise you will enjoy yourself as Di (and all the playmates) make it such a fun place to visit.  

Here are my snippet makes for this week:

and as always on a Sunday I am super lazy and do not list my ingredients .. .. but if there is anything you need to know about just ask away and I will do my best to come back to you.

Big week ahead of me, so next I am off to schedule a few posts so there are some hearts to be found whilst I tie ribbons to the sound of my printers churning, and churning away.  

Enjoy the rest of your weekend and I hope next week is a good one for you.

Love
