TEENY TINY FRIDAY

Hi Everyone

I hope all has been going well in your world and you have managed to find a bit of crafty time.

Popping in tonight with a teeny tiny thank you card which features one of four butterflies that make up a lovely stamp set which I was super lucky to win from the Snippets Playground (thank you so much ladies - mwah).

For anyone new to my blog, my teeny tiny cards measure a whole 9cms square.

This used:

Image and Sentiment: Woodware Clear stamp set ”JGS483" Butterflies

Backing papers from snippet mountain

ProMarkers

Glossy Accents for highlighting parts of the butterfly

Corner Rounding Punch

We R Memory Keepers “Envelope Punch Board”

Darice Embossing Folder “mini daisy” (for embossing the flap of the envelope) - you’ve started something Hilary! My embossing folders are getting lots of use LOL!!!

Things have been very upside down here as Mr Heart managed to catch Covid from somewhere and it took him a whole nine days to get rid of it and test negative!  I have managed not to catch it thank goodness (hope I am not tempting fate there).  But of course this has meant I couldn’t go to Mum in case I passed something onto to her.  I really don’t feel she would be strong enough to fight it off.  So we had to make do with lots of FaceTime calls, and my brother and sister covered my physical shifts.

But today Mum and I had our first day together for quite a while and we both really enjoyed it.

I hope you enjoy your weekend when it arrives.

HAPPY HOLIDAY

Hi Everyone

I hope you all had a good weekend and the wind and rain didn't cause you too many problems.

Bright and sunny here today which is very welcome.

Popping in to share a creation I have made for taking over to The Little Red Wagon Challenge where the theme for this challenge is "H is for Holidays".

For me when the word holidays are mentioned I straight away think of the seaside with cute beach huts and miles of sandy beaches  .. .. though to be honest I have never seen any as pretty and lovely as these - I would love to own the one on the right LOL!!!

This used:

and that is me for today.

AM I SQUARE OR NOT?

Hi Everyone

Hope all is going well with everyone .. .. .. I can't believe we are into October already.

They say time flies when you are having fun so I must be "having a real ball" because my time seems to disappear in the blink of an eye!  No sooner does one month start than it is ending.  

I know this because a new As You Like It Challenge has started already!!! and the theme this fortnight is "Square or Not and why".

Personally my everyday favourites are a choice between square and rectangular .. .. .. fancy card folds hardly ever feature in my day to day crafting .. .. .. not that I don't love them .. .. .. but because pressures on my time mean that my crafting tends to be quite simple when I do get chance.

I tend to plump for square cards .. .. but in a mixture of sizes.. .. .. .. although not too large as I am not a fan of big cards.  They freak me out a bit LOL!!!  For me it is a case of the smaller the better, with my favourite two being my standard "go to" which is 14.5cm square, or my "teeny tiny cards" that measure a whole 9cm square.  

So on that note here is my entry for this fortnight:
