I want to comment here about all the cards since I am really late posting the cards today.  I had another Doctor's Appt. and went shopping all day so my time was shortened up considerably but I had a good time, shopping for new clothes it was relaxing and at the same time tiring in a good way.  The cards are really inspiring, I appreciate all of them.

Tuesday's shares

Hi friends

I just one to drop a line on the cards being shared.  I love them all, every card has a unique style, a unique touch that makes them yours to a point that some of you who have been faithful from the very beggining I can tell your cards from others, I love it!

Speaking of cards, just reminding you that if you didn't send me a card this month I am running out of them if that is believable, so when you can send me cards with short messages I have so many cards to make I need to spend less time here and more at my craft table hee hee

Here are the cards I have left to share:

Angela M (Chorley Cake) another great looking card.  I am sure your friend Mike enjoyed his card, how would he not? hee hee  With great friends and such an appealing card, thank you for sharing it Angela. :)

..............................................................................................................................

  Lorna M. I love them all such lovely cards, different techniques and so inspirational as well. Thank you so much for sharing them Lorna. :)

................................................................................................................................

   Sue K. wow great work on all of them.  I love that you used so many shapes. You are inspiring me and I need this right now. Thank you :)

...............................................................................................................................

Thank you for visiting and leaving such sweet comments about one another's beautiful cards.

Have a great day!

Friday's lovely cards to share

Hi ladies, just to let you know that if you have sent me an email at the beginning of the week and I have not answered it yet it is because I am overwhelmed with all the work I have to get done and when I see emails that are more than 3 lines I have to put them on hold until I have the time to read them.  So if you need to let me know something please pretty please make it really short so I can reply quicker.  I have 75 cards to make and mixing all of my daily tasks it quite demanding so I am determined to take it easy so I don't get myself sick and heaven forbids driving me for more tests LOL, no thanks.

I love all of your emails really, there are just times when I can't read them all so it is nothing personal to anyone, LOL it's not you, it's me hee hee thank you for understanding and being patient with me.

Since it is the wedding season I thought you might want to use this sheet, I hope it comes at the right time for most of you.  Enjoy!  I will add a bunch of new sheets to the PB this weekend.  Look for UPDATE in the title so you can see where I added the new ones to save you some time on your search for them.  Have a fun weekend!

Hi Friends

Mid-week!  Where did the time go wow it is flying by.  Next thing we'll know it will be Christmas! Mmmmm that means? Christmas card making to start?  I know a group of you have started already and I guess I can't blame you for it.  Less to rush to the finish line in December that's for sure.

I flunked my MRI yesterday LOL I couldn't stay in more than a few seconds wow now I know how it feels like.  I was suggested to use a few special pills and I should do very well just as long as I have a driver hee hee, so I will make another appointment.  Gee I will need more than luck with that one hee hee 

Well, here are the shares for today:

  Janet R. What can I say?  Your cards are once again gorgeous, the stitching, the colors, matting matching everything, little gems and roses.  Well done Janet :) Thank you so much to influence stitching among a big group of us enjoying the technique.

..........................................................................................................................

Thank you for visiting my blog, I hope it helped you to get some ideas for your next cards.  Don't forget, I have a great deal of sheets for Christmas in both of the PB's so enjoy.  I will start making Christmas sheets soon.  I am just in search of something I haven't 3D'ed yet.  hee hee not easy!

Have a great day everyone!

Monday's beautiful cards

Hi Friends

You see me happy to report that we are still having to put up with a lot of heat BUT, while I am preparing today's blog we are having a thunderstorm.  We went out for dinner and on our way out we saw a sand storm mixed with rain, which makes it a little muddy like on the skin, Yuk.  LOL so we made it home being pushed by the heavy winds and we are so happy we won't have to do the rain dance.  I think the last time we had rain was in February, or longer.  Anyhow, it was high time, the thunder sounds like a purring sound hee hee before I become sickeningly poetic, I better stop here. hee hee

By the way we have a very talented scrap booker with us and since I only post cards I decided I would add her work into her album so go check Glenys H. (Aunty G's) work.

Wednesday's beautiful cards to share with you

Hi Friends

Here we are already mid-week but a lot has been accomplished on my side of things.  So it is usually good news for me.  That usually means I am catching up admirably to a long long to do list I had on my desk for the passed 2 months.  After the latest events and travels I can finally see the end of the stick! hee hee 

I am so thrilled with the beautiful cards you all have sent me wow.  I can see such versatility in all of you that I can't help but feeling like we are all inspiring one another at one point or another.  Techniques and newly found colors of choice are always adding to our cards a new interest, colors are the best treats for the eyes.  So don't be afraid to use colors, monochromatic is also pretty and can also be so elegant in its own ways.  Trying new things makes us grow in our craft when we see no more fears in daring to try new ways.

Enjoy today's shares ladies, always gorgeous cards on here, the only difference is, its a different day:

Priscilla thank you for your two stunning cards.  I like your peel off touches and embellishments, the colors are also well matched thank you for sharing them :)

..................................................................................................................................

       Teresa D. the Fred she said medallions you made are beautiful on your cards.  Well done for all of them actually.  I really like the stitching Virgin Mary and child it is gorgeous. Thank you for sharing your cards with all of us.  :)

.............................................................................................................................

 Sue (Jacksmum)

...........................................................................................................................

  Carol H. so delightful to see all of your cards.  I love them all Carol.  You do such lovely work all the time and I can't help but admiring all of it.  Can't pick a favorite since all are so lovely.  Thanks for sharing them with us :)

....................................................................................................................................

Have a great day everyone and thank you for visiting and adding this blog to your favorites to visit each and every day.  Thank you for leaving a comment at the end of each visit.  You can find the comment box at the end of each day.  It is written in small letters. Thanks

Monday's shares!

Hi Friends

I have received quite a few cards last week so please bare with me I will try and post them all this week.  Sometimes some are left behind not because I forget them but it is just the way it can happen.  But I do invite you to check with me if you card has been received if you haven't seen it after 2 weeks.  That may mean it was lost in the shuffle of all of them coming in at once.  But if you know it wasn't posted yet, send me the picture in your email adding in the Subject: Resent cards Here are the cards for today. As soon as I see the title I will go and upload the pictures and post them the next day.

So I will let you all comment on the cards for today since I have a lot to do this week including 4 doctor's appointments back to back as well as Jo Anne H.'s visit which I am so excited about.  Crafting stores, watch out!  Here we come!  hee hee

Thursday's beauties

Hi Friends

Here are the cards shared for today:

 

  Welcome back Janet, I hope your Mother is doing much better.  Glad to have you back you were missed.  As I have said before and I am sure I sound like a broken record, I really love your cards stitching and color matching all of it is spectacular since it is all so perfectly coming together on each and every card. I was told in many occasion that you are of a BIG inspiration to a lot of ladies and the stitching part of your card really grew fast with a lot of them since you have been posting your cards, I for one am always so inspired by all of them as I am sure I speak for many of you as well.  Thanks Janet! :)  Glad you are back!
