Full Bloom Christmas
4 hours ago
Thursday, 20 May 2021
Just been catching up on a friend's blog posts and thought I'd put some more up here. I've done so little since Christmas, other than a few important occasion things. Life has just been focused on other things. I'm also still 'sorting out' my room and getting ready to clear all the stuff. Some of it is photographed and ready to upload. I just brought in the dies so I can take photos, but not in this dark, dreary weather. I'll have to wait until it's sunny again.
So here are a few things I made earlier 😊
This is a card I made for my bestest friend - using the colours we both love to use.
This is the inside. I only added the purple card because I managed to get a tiny bit of ink on it - and then I didn't notice that the scanner had added its own little mark - duh! I really must clean that scanner bed again.
This is one I made simply because I was doing my best not to throw away the background. Why, I don't know. I do love this Katzelcraft seagull, though. I managed to stain him with a bit of blue ink when I left him on my work surface for a couple of days, but I thought it actually looked appropriate. Birds often get bits of 'stuff' on their feathers and it always tickles me 😁
A more recent creation - made early April.
I love these ladies and had a great time colouring them.
I made it for a birthday card, then decided on another one, so it may actually go out as a mingle this week.
This stamp I fell in love with because I'd been reading and reading and reading and so enjoying my books that it fitted my mood at the time. Since the medication affected me so badly, I've read very little - which is sad. My 'to read' pile is still growing as I add to the already big enough pile from when I stopped. I love books, so this actually upsets me if I think about it.
And just one more to get it out of the folder... made for a Coffee challenge, of course - very simply.
It doesn't look as if I have the last little book I made in my folder, though I do have one more to share. It must be on my phone, so I'll try to get round to uploading it to my laptop ASAP.
I'll just check current challenges to see if there's anything I can enter today...

Nice to see you back Cath. I was just playing with that same flower stamp set today, so seeing your pretty card gave me some inspiration to use that set again. Your birthday card is beautiful. I love the funky seagull and the beach huts. very funny. Hope your cleaning gets done and all is well. Hugs-Erika
It was good to see you posting again and glad to see some of the beautiful cards you have created. They are all just beautiful and all seem to have such meaning, either to you, or the recipient.
Not as much as we have missed you I bet. I have so missed seeing all of your beautiful creations. Absolutely love the card you made for Lynne's birthday - what beautiful colours. Please share, some time, what you used.
Did smile at the "We are not old ..." card - great use of those ladies and I just love the book one - is that one stamp or did you make it from several?
So glad you are back and cannot wait to see the book you are about to upload - don't forget and don't leave us so long next time, please.

Such beautiful designs 😀. Thanks so much for joining in the fun at Try it on Tuesday! Hugs, Jo x
Lovely to see you joining in with us at Try it on Tuesday.
Love the VI flower - one of my favourites and that seagull is such fun. LOVE your ladies card - it's a fabulous image and quote. Love your reading card - always read before bed, so your night time sky is perfect.
I'm always 'sorting out' my room - but it never seems to get any better - hope you have better luck than me!
