So the time came to open my July parcel from Liz ........... as always it contained lots of lovely bits ......... and, as always, my mind went blank! Trouble was this time it stayed blank, no matter how many times I looked at those bits nothing came to me!! I couldn't even put 2 bits together let alone make a card from then ............... the sun had finally melted my brain!!!
Help came in the form of a visit from Liz ............ a cup of coffee, (ok, tea for Liz) and a natter and finally I had 1 (very simple!) card made.
It helped though and the following morning when I got up I made a second, then a third!!! I had a couple of bits that I wanted to use but had no idea how so I rummaged through my stash and finally I made 2 more cards ............. success at last!!!
So here they are ............
So there we are, I may be able to get 1 or 2 more cards as I have bits left from both parcels but I'm happy with what I have done ............. and starting to look forward to Augusts parcels!!!!
KRAFTIKORNER -- A little corner where I can share my cards and artwork with my friends.
This was No.1 ...... very simple but it got me going ......... and I like it!
No.2, again fairly simple but I love the "chocolaty brown" hints
No.3, this took me a bit more time trying to work out just how to lay the bits out, then it took me ages to find a greeting for it!
This was difficult ......... I soooooo wanted to use that gorgeous snowflake cut out that Liz included but nothing looked right .......... in the end I settled for this though I'm still not completely happy with it and don't think I've done the "cut out" justice at all.
Liz included this cute pink ribbon and I had no idea what to put it with ........... until I remember a beautiful embossed piece I'd had from Pat that I hadn't been able to use, ......... a few shiny little flowers (also from Pat) and a nice feminine card.
Lovely selection. You did tons better than I did this month, Terri :o) Like you, I loved the die-cutsnowflake doobery, but unlike you, I couldn't think of how to use it. So, it's been put in my Christmas stash for another day :o)
ReplyDeleteWell done Terri. I had those snowflake bits given to me from a friend in Lincolnshire. I used four bits on one card - one of each side of the card and then it left a space in the middle for a greeting. It came from a Memoery Box die.
ReplyDeleteYes I remember the card you did with the snowflake image Liz, it was lovely ....... I just wish I could have done it more justice.
ReplyDeletePat ..... I surprised myself in the end because to start with I had no idea what to do with anything.
