Say It with Scallops

Firstly and would like to thank you all for the wonderful well wishes before I go on to the card. I'm still suffering with a desperate bad head but it is now at least a bit more manageable with the help of painkillers, so onward to a card.

I used the Scalloped Square punch and the Say it With Scallops stamp set from Stampin Up to create the card,patterned paper pearls and ribbon to finish.

Attention to detail...

I used the Stampin Up Square scallop punch on the stamped sentiment and punched 2 more from patterned paper to sit the sentiment on then punched a hole at each side to thread through the cream satin ribbon.

A scalloped Martha Stewart paper punch was used on the patterned paper to tie in with the square scalloped focal image the a little pearl coloured with copics to match the paper was added under each peak to make the card pop.

Too Poorly to Craft

I''m not adding cards today as I have developed a stinking cold and to be honest I just feel too poorly to craft, It's now in it's 3rd day so hopefully I'll be feeling much better by tomorrow.

I'm off to my bed to mend my head.

God Bless, night night.

My Birthday Cards

I have a few of the cards that I received for my birthday to show you.

The first is from my Mam, if you have been coming to my blog for a while you will know that my Mam did think of giving up card making at one point, I'm so glad that she didn't, her decoupage work is second to none.

This one is from my AMGF Marge all the way from USA such a special lady who helps to keep me sane, believe it or not but Marge doesn't recognise that she is very very talented.

This one is from Toni on my DT she got it spot on with my favourite flower and not only that but she included some vintage postcards for me too, mwoa xx

This one gave me a giggle as when I opened the envelop the bottom owl fell out I new instantly that it was from my friend Pam who is owl crazy, cute.

This one is from Debs my friend who always makes a wonderful card with very good colour choices.

This one is from my Mother-in-law, she has only been crafting for around a year or two.

This one was from a lovely lady, Ursula Tarn, all carefully and skillfully hand stitched.

Happy Birthday Jak! Hope you are having a lovely day.What do I love about Easter - the promise of spring and all that it brings with it - the buds breaking out on the trees bring new life to them with all the different greens, yellows, etc, the colours of the spring bulbs - always so cheeery - enough to brighten anyone's heart, birds building nests, birdsong, and time for contemplation.Last but not least that yummy chocolate, but it must be dark!

Hugs
